12U-350 Server Rack Data Network Cabinet - Black, Lockable Wall/Floor Mounted

The 12U-350 Server Rack Data Network Cabinet - Black, Lockable Wall/Floor Mounted (SKU CABINET-12U-350) is a steel enclosure for 19-inch rack-mount network and CCTV (closed-circuit television) equipment. Here is what each spec means in practice.

What the numbers mean

• 12U: twelve rack units of mounting space. One U is a unit of rack equipment height, so add up the U rating of each device to see what fits.
• 600mm W × 350mm D × 640mm H (external): a compact, shallow cabinet. Check the depth of any recorder or switch against the 350mm figure.
• Lockable front door: you can restrict access to the equipment, and still open it for maintenance.
• Wall or floor installation: it can be mounted on a wall or placed on the floor, in an equipment room, office or comms cupboard.
• Steel with black powder-coated finish: a durable housing that matches other dark rack hardware.
• Ventilation slots: these assist airflow and passive cooling of installed devices.

What you still need

The cabinet is the enclosure only. The equipment going into it must be 19-inch rack-mount: switches, patch panels, routers or NVRs (network video recorders). Cabling and the devices themselves are separate.

It suits small structured cabling jobs and CCTV head-ends where a few units of kit need to be kept together and secured.
