<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi Andrew while I am unable to answer your ‘How hot’ question, because as you say BTU is a measurement of generated heat and not surface temperature. I think I can weigh in on
your specific question. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Most devices of this type rely on cooling via a heat sink with fins or free air to vent heat. In my opinion and experience, best practice is to avoid laying directly things on
top of them.<br>
<br>
It’s like when I am hot and cover myself with a blanket. I am not going to make the blanket hot enough to sustain damage, but I am not going to cool down. And when I get hot and can’t cool down I get cranky and/or function poorly in unpredictable ways. Drivers
aren’t that much different. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">>Specifically, can I lay my SJOW 3/12 extension cables, my DMX cables, and my IQ/Scroller power cables on the drivers >and not damage my cables, or make the drivers get too hot?<o:p></o:p></p>
