Racks and Accessories

Rack Enclosure
High performance racks and enclosures that reduce deployment time, maximize useable white space, and ensure compatibility with the latest IT equipment.

24U Enclosure
Feature-rich enclosures optimized for easy installation, managing cables, integrating power distribution, and maximizing airflow.

42U Enclosure
Standard enclosure for low to medium density server and networking applications. Compact width to optimize data center space. 42U height to easily roll through doorways.

Features

Convenience
Cable Access Large cable access slots in the roof provides access for overhead cable egress. The bottom design allows for unobstructed cable access through a raised floor.
Ventilated Perforated front and rear doors provide ample ventilation for rack-mount equipment.
Quick Release Doors Front door can be moved to the opposite side or interchanged with rear doors. Doors are easily removed with simple lift-off design.
Half-Height Side Panels Half-height quick release side panels reduce size and weight for easy handling and access to equipment. Side panels are lockable utilizing a single key with the doors.
Agility
Rear Cable Management Channels Integrated and adjustable rear channel provides zero U mounting locations for toolless accessories. Each channel has two mounting bays to support a combination of up to four accessories such as PDUs and vertical cable organizers.
Adjustable Mounting Rails The vertical mounting rails can be adjusted in 1/4 in (6.4 mm) increments covering virtually any mounting requirement for IT equipment. U positions are numbered front and back for rapid installation of equipment.
Split Rear Doors Split rear doors improve access and serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to maximize floor space. Only 11 inches (279 mm) of clearance is required behind the enclosures to allow for door swing.
Castors and Adjustable Leveling Feet Enclosures are shipped standard with both leveling feet and castors. Leveling feet can be quickly adjusted through the use of a screwdriver or drill, eliminating the need to reach underneath with a wrench.
Joining Capability Enclosures include pre-installed joining hardware to join enclosures in a row and provide additional stability to the enclosure.
Safety
Structural Stability A proven frame design, heavy-gauge mounting rails, and heavy-duty casters provide for 3000 lb (1364 kg) static and 2250 lb (1023 kg) dynamic load ratings.
Integrated Electrical Grounding The roof, side panels and front and rear doors are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Eight additional electrical grounding inserts are located on the frame for external grounding.

Power Distribution
Switched Rack PDU
(1.4 kW - 12.5 kW, 10A - 50A, Horizontal or Vertical Mount)
Switched Rack PDUs provide advanced load monitoring combined with remote on/off switching control of individual outlets for power cycling, delayed power sequencing, and outlet use management.

Metered Rack PDU
(1.4 kW - 22.0 kW, 10A - 60A, Horizontal or Vertical Mount)
Metered rack PDUs provide real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. User-defined alarms warn of potential circuit overloads before critical IT failures occur.

Basic Rack PDU
(1.4 kW - 14.4 kW, 15A - 50A, Horizontal or Vertical Mount)
Reliable power distribution.

Rack PDU Accessories
Cord retention brackets and vertical-mount bracket kits to complete rack power distribution solutions.

Power Cords
(2 ft (0.6 m) - 15 ft (4.6 m))
Wide selection of power cords for a variety of IT equipment.

LCD Monitors and KVM Switches
Rack LCD Consoles
(17" and 19" models, 17" available with optional integrated 8 / 16 port analog KVM Switch)
