L-com’s new 42U server racks fit anywhere

The EIA 19-inch-wide cabinets come in three depths, allowing them to hold high-density networking equipment for both large-office data centers and small-office SOHO setups. They can also be deployed in IT closets, audiovisual setups, production studios, broadcasting and more.

All of the new floor cabinets have sturdy, welded frames made of cold-rolled steel. They hold 3,000 pounds of equipment, or 2,400 pounds on the included locking caster wheels. Security locks are on all sides, including the front door, the dual rear French doors, and two locking half-size panels on each side. All the models also have adjustable mounting-rail depths to accommodate a wide array of gear, which is attached with M6 cage nuts.

So that they can be tailored to your specific needs, the 42U server rack cabinets are offered with four main options:

The first option is cabinet depth, the three choices are 31 inches (800mm), 39 inches (1,000mm), or 47 inches (1,200mm). The shallowest model has an adjustable rack depth of six to 21.5 inches, the mid-size is six to 29.5 inches, and the deepest adjusts from six to 37.5 inches.

For the second option, you can choose front doors that are either made of perforated metal for added ventilation or tempered glass for easier monitoring of components.

The third option concerns the design of the top panel. Some models have a top with a large rectangular opening for quick installation of a fan panel. Other models have, instead, a top panel with multiple large slots for cable access.

The fourth option is color, traditional black or L-com’s more recently released white finish. White cabinets have a bit more modern aesthetic and they enhance a room’s spaciousness, especially near light-colored walls.

“Cabinets with this much vertical capacity make for convenient, centrally located setups,” said Product Line Manager Tim Houghton. “But with the three depths we offer, 42U can now fit in smaller spaces as well.”
