ELWhat are Rack Enclosures / 19” cabinets
What rack enclosures (19″ cabinets) are, what equipment they house and how they protect it from heat, dust and damage, at home or at work.
Rack cabinets are special metal structures, standardized 19” enclosures used to mount and store your passive equipment (patch panels, patch cords, cables) and your active telecom / electronic equipment, such as servers, PCs, hubs, routers, modems, telephone systems (PBX), CCTV recorders, alarm systems, UPS, etc.
Their special construction gives you easy access and ensures the safe management of your equipment, while protecting it from high temperatures, dust and damage, so that the devices in your space keep running smoothly. They are recommended for both professional settings (businesses, industry) and homes.
Rack cabinets are recommended for loads greater than 2kW, because they separate hot and cold air streams and promote proper airflow for cooling the equipment.
The ergonomic design of rack enclosures, with features that make them stand out, is very important, as it makes them even more practical and functional. Bulk cable entries at various points, either at the top or at the base of the racks; security locks on the doors, which secure the equipment in open-plan offices or server rooms; removable panels for easier access to the equipment; the equipment load they can hold; their depth; and how quickly hot air is removed are some of the features of these products.
