Network Cabinet Frames & Racks
Network cabinet frames and racks are vital parts of the secure housing and organization of IT equipment in data centers, server rooms, and other tech-oriented spaces. Cabinet frames are the foundation of any good enclosure system, providing the necessary structural support to ensure that all mountable devices and equipment stay where they're supposed to. Cabinets can be configured in all sorts of ways to meet the demands of a wide range of equipment. Open-frame models are well-suited for many kinds of enclosures, particularly when easy access to contents is required.
Space optimization and organizational structure are the prime directives of network cabinet rack design. Ensuring appearance and construction are orderly sets the stage for airflow; good airflow is necessary for any operation where lots of energy is converted to heat. For that reason, network cabinet racks are enablers of efficiency. They are also versatile; they can be used in small spaces, large spaces, and everything in between.
