The development of Cascade Netgear GS105 x Giesemann OCXO Video Switch for Netflix and 4K YouTube

Hi Adrain I received the two GS105 OCXO switches the other day. I've been letting them break in (feeding my wifi router). The difference they have made to streaming on my Sonos Play5s (which are not very resolving) is noticeable. I cannot wait to hook them up on my main system later this week. I have a question that I would like some clarification on (before I peel the sticker off).

 

The AD sticker (serial number/OCXO version, etc) on the side is blocking one half of the GS105's original ventilation. I am mounting mine inside a cabinet that will be enclosed and the two switches will sit side by side, meaning that one of the switches will have its vacant airflow grill blocked by the other switch. Does the sticker serve any purpose other than cosmetic and was the intention to block the airflow for some reason?
