Wall Cabinet 19: Specifications
19 A wall-mounted cabinet for storing server equipment has a number of important characteristics. One of the important factors taken into account when buying such equipment is the height of the cabinet, which is measured in units. A unit is a unit of measure; 1 unit = 44 mm. Depending on the height of the cabinet, models are defined: 6u, 12u, 19u. A number of products are available in height from 6 to 19 units.
In addition to height, the depth of the cabinet is also considered an important parameter. Models with different depths are designed for storing a variety of computer equipment or network equipment. When buying wiring closets, the depth is calculated with a margin, adding 10-15 cm to the required value, which allows you to freely install the connectors, connect the cables and thereby avoid bending them. Models with a standard cabinet depth of 45 or 58 cm are supplied to the market.
Since we are talking about the storage of equipment operating 24/7, it is impossible not to mention the need for cooling equipment operating in a continuous mode. Modern wiring closets are equipped with a special ventilation system that ensures the safety of the equipment.
19 the wall cabinet must have perforated upper and lower panels, which are responsible for passive ventilation and a constant flow of cold air. Such a system is quite sufficient to prevent overheating of equipment, but sometimes additional equipment is installed in the form of coolers or fans.
In many ways, the smooth operation of the system depends on availability. Sometimes the person responsible for the work has enough visual observation to determine the condition of the equipment and check the sensors. In this case, it is better to choose a wall cabinet 19 9u with a glass door. Models are equipped not with an ordinary glass facade, but with a special one made of tempered glass framed in a steel frame. Thanks to the use of this material, you can not worry about the safety of the equipment, and also not endanger the personnel working nearby, because the tempered glass breaks into small pieces and it is impossible to cut it.
If there is no need for constant monitoring of the status of equipment, you can choose a model with a metal perforated door, which, in addition to the anti-vandal function, provides additional ventilation for the cabinet and the equipment contained in it.
Important! When buying this design, pay attention to the serviceability of the door. It should close easily and smoothly, not creak or distort.
