12U 450mm Server Rack Data Network Cabinet - Wall/Floor Mounted, Lockable, Black

The 12U 450mm Server Rack Data Network Cabinet - Wall/Floor Mounted, Lockable, Black (SKU CABINET-12U-450) is an enclosed rack for network and CCTV equipment. Here is what each headline spec means in practice.

Specs, translated

• 12U capacity. One rack unit (U) is 44.45mm of mounting height, so 12U gives 533.4mm of rack space for recorders, switches and patch panels.
• 450mm depth. This is the room front to back. Measure each device including the cables plugged into its rear.
• 60cm W x 45cm D x 63cm H. This is the space the cabinet occupies on a wall or floor.
• Wall or floor mounting. Fix it to a wall to keep the floor clear, or stand it on the floor if that suits the room better.
• Lockable door. Access to the equipment inside is restricted to whoever holds the key.
• Black finish. It sits unobtrusively in a utility room, office or comms cupboard.

Built for small to medium setups

The design allows for cable management and ventilation. It suits small to medium network installations, including CCTV systems, where recorder, switch and cabling need to be kept together and organised.

What you will still need

The cabinet is the housing only. For a CCTV system you would add a network video recorder (NVR) and a network switch, and each must be rack-mountable to sit in the 12U space. Add up the unit height of every device before you order.
