Network Cabinet Backplates & Swing-Out Panels
Network cabinet backplates and swing-out panels provide a stable and organized mounting surface for electrical and networking components inside enclosures. RSP Supply carries a full line of backplates and swing-out panels from Hoffman and Rittal, designed to simplify installation, maintenance, and system modifications. These components allow equipment to be mounted securely while maintaining accessibility without the need to remove or disassemble the entire cabinet.
Backplates are available in a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, fiberglass, wood, galvanized steel, painted steel, and composite options. Many backplates feature pre-cut mounting holes aligned with enclosure patterns, reducing installation time and ensuring proper fit. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant options, such as Hoffman COMLINE aluminum backplates, are commonly used in telecommunications and outdoor applications where weight and environmental exposure are key considerations.
Swing-out panels provide enhanced access to mounted components by allowing the panel to pivot outward from the enclosure. Hoffman ULTRX and POLYPRO swing-out panels are designed for fiberglass and WiFi enclosures that do not interfere with wireless signals, making them suitable for rooftop, wall-mounted, tunnel, and outdoor installations. These panels are often used with window-door enclosures to display gauges, indicators, and control devices while maintaining enclosure protection and system organization.
