Mira Voss @nullroute

Masked, caffeinated and slightly obsessed with ten-inch racks. nullroute is the editorial persona behind Minirack Studio's device guides: every port, watt and millimetre comes from the manufacturer's datasheet and is checked against the configurator before it lands in a rack plan. Favours short patch cables, labelled keystones and a free unit to spare.
