Pro features highlight on new 42U server rack cabinets

ShowMeCables has released a new line of 42U server rack cabinets. The two dozen models fit standard 19"-wide components such as servers, patch panels, PDUs and routers. The cabinets are excellent for data networking, IT, audiovisual and more.

All the new models have pro features like a 3,000lb capacity, all-steel construction and adjustable rail depths. The cabinets can be tailored to a user's installation needs with four main options: three exterior depths, a glass or vented-metal front door, a top panel that is either fan-compatible or has cable openings and a choice of a black or white finish.

The cabinets' welded structure is finished with a heavy-duty cold-rolled steel exterior and a durable powder coating. This high-quality cabinet complies with EIA/ECA-310-E, HIPAA, and PCI. The equipment mounting rails are square hole/cage nut style with RU stencilling, and all equipment mounting hardware is included.

Three exterior depths are provided to fit most rooms and IT closets: 31.5", 39", or 47". All the models have adjustable rail depths to suit various components. The rails are adjustable in 10mm increments and can be set as shallow as 6". With three different depths, equipment mounting rail depths can expand up to 21.5 ", 29.5", or 37.5".

Choose from a locking front door made of vented steel or heat-tempered glass for monitoring your components. On the rear, there are twin-locking French doors. Each side can be accessed through two locking panels (a top and a bottom panel) so that an entire large panel doesn't have to be removed.

To customize a cabinet for your unique needs, choose a top panel that's either fan-compatible or has additional cable openings. ShowMeCables also carries a wide range of accessories for these cabinets, such as fans, shelves, drawers and spacers.

The company's 42U server cabinets come in either traditional black or newer white finish. White cabinets have a modern aesthetic that makes a room look brighter and more spacious.

"Our EIA 19-inch 42U cabinets have the capacity and quality needed to complete high-density applications," said product line manager Tim Houghton. "They offer strength, security, adjustable depths, colour options, cooling features and easy access to equipment."
