Data Communication Racks

Instrument Enclosures

Instrument enclosures are designed to enclose and protect electrical and/or electronic instrumentation equipment for industrial applications and are also great for applications requiring desktop or rack mounting. These enclosures are constructed with extruded aluminum side, front and rear panels, and flat aluminum top and bottom panels painted with textured black powder coat.

• Knockdown design ships disassembled for easy handling
• Can be used with or without included rack mounting brackets
• Solid and vented enclosures available; replacement upper and lower panels can convert one style to the other

Cabinet Doors

Rack cabinet doors are available as an add-on where needed and are available as a solid cabinet door or as a vented cabinet door.

Panels

Solid or perforated panels for 19-inch data communication rack cabinets are typically used to improve cooling efficiency or prevent air recirculation. Replacement panels for instrument enclosures can be used to convert vented enclosures to solid construction and vice-versa.

Shelves

Shelves for data communication racks provide superior ventilation for cable and satellite boxes and other components that generate considerable heat. These shelves feature two adjustable foam-padded mounting bars to secure components without fear of scratches.

• 14- and 16-gauge steel construction
• Designed to mount on any standard EIA compliant rack or cabinet
• Can mount on rack rail as internal or external shelf
• Vented or solid styles
• 2-post battery and centered shelves
• 19-inch clamping shelf available

Drawers

Drawers for data communication racks provide a storage compartment for rack systems. 19-inch rack mount drawers are available with lock and in various depths.

• 14- and 16- gauge steel construction depending on model
• Includes front plastic pull handle with locking mechanism
• Available in three depths and various widths

Rail Reducer Panels

Rail reducer panels convert a standard 23- or 24-inch rack mounting rails to 19-inch rack mounting.

• Sold in pairs
• Punched holes are tapped in 10-32 for 19-inch mounting

Rail Depth Adapters

Rail depth adapter kits for data communication racks allow equipment to be mounted four inches in or out from the rails. Adapters are useful when mounting outlet strips or equipment with no clearance.

• Sold in pairs, hardware included
• Converts round holes to square holes

Support Brackets

Support brackets for data communication racks are similar to a shelf but also allow the rack equipment to be positioned in the center of the rack, which can help stabilize the rack while using less space.

• Ideal for mounting UPS, server, switch, NVR, and other rack mount equipment
• Mount to front and/or rear on 19-, 23-, or 24-inch racks
• Available in four depths
• Includes all four pieces and mounting hardware

Cable Management

Cable management for data communication racks organizes and supports cables in most open-frame rack styles.

• Designed to fit 19-inch rails
• Cable manager brackets, lacing bars and strips, and cable rings available
• Includes mounting hardware

DIN Rail

DIN rail kits for data communication racks provide standard DIN rail mounting for compatible equipment and devices.

• Mounts to 19-inch rack rails
• Includes a 0.3-inch-thick top-hat standard DIN rails

Grounding & Isolation

Grounding and isolation kits provide grounding solutions for open frame racks. Available kits include.

• A horizontal heavy-gauge copper bonding busbar that attaches to the inside of the enclosure
• A cabinet or frame rack to provide consolidated equipment grounds
• Grounding bar and copper busbar have an electro-tin plating that inhibits copper oxidation
• Bond wiring kits that include various lengths of 10-gauge copper wire terminated with crimped-on terminals

Fans

Fan kits for data communication racks extend the life of rack-mounted equipment by increasing airflow within the rack or cabinet. Fan kits are available with one or two fans.

• Includes all essential parts and two chrome fan grills for added safety
• One cord assembly

Fasteners

Fasteners for data communication rack systems include rack screws, cage nuts, clip nuts, and thumb screws.

• Packs available for 10-32, 12-24, or M6 mounting screws
• Convenient when installing rack mount equipment in rails with square holes
• Cage nuts, rack screws, or thumb screws are also available individually in quantity packs

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous accessories for data communication rack systems are available for finishing a quality installation, including rack depth label and hook-and-loop tie straps.
