9U 450mm Server Rack Data Network Cabinet - Wall/Floor Mounted, Lockable, Black

The 9U 450mm Server Rack Data Network Cabinet - Wall/Floor Mounted, Lockable, Black (SKU CABINET-9U-450) is a steel enclosure for 19-inch rack networking equipment. It has a lockable front door and ventilated panels.

What the specs mean in practice

• 9U: nine rack units of mounting space. It holds switches, patch panels, routers and similar 19-inch hardware, as far as their combined height allows.
• 600mm wide × 450mm deep × 500mm high (external): a compact box. These are outside measurements, so allow for the cabinet walls when planning.
• 450mm depth: gives room behind the equipment for cable management and for deeper rack-mounted devices. Check the depth of your deepest device, plus its cable bend, against this figure.
• Lockable front door: restricts access to the installed equipment and opens when you need to patch or maintain it.
• Ventilated panels: openings in the cabinet assist passive airflow around active networking devices.
• Steel with black powder-coated finish: a durable enclosure with a neat appearance in offices and retail areas.
• Wall or floor mounted: suits a network or communications area where either position works.

Planning the fit

Add up the rack units your equipment needs and keep the total within 9U. Then check the depth of your deepest device before choosing a wall or floor position.

It is used for structured cabling, CCTV control equipment and network distribution points.
