New space efficient vertical wall-mount cabinets

L-com has introduced a line of vertical wall-mount cabinets with black or white finishes. The top-loading enclosures orient electronic components vertically, taking advantage of a room's or hallway's unused wall space and permitting low-profile storage of deep equipment.

There are 25 new models in sizes from 2U to 6U and five adjustable rack depth ranges. They can hold just about anything of the standard 19" width, from servers to switches to AV equipment. They have low profiles, with the 2U models sticking out less than 5" from a wall and the 6U versions extending less than a foot. This enables them to fit into small rooms, IT closets, back offices, busy hallways, and retail spaces.

The black and white models share a set of useful features. They are made of heavy-duty cold-rolled steel and steadily hold 132lbs of gear. Size options are 2U, 3U, 4U, and 6U. Security locks prevent unauthorised access. The rack rails have M6 and 12-24 threaded mounting options, including a 1U or 2U upper patch panel bracket. Punchouts make cable management easier.

There are 17 new vertical wall-mount cabinets in the company's white, electrostatic, powder-coated finish. This modern aesthetic will improve the visual appeal of any installation. It is particularly beneficial in environments where the rack is visible or in customer-facing areas. The white cabinets come with adjustable rack rails in five range options: 13" to 16", 17" to 22", 21" to 24", 25" to 28" and 32" to 35".

Eight new cabinets in the traditional black finish are available. Their rack rails are adjustable in four range options: 13" to 16", 17" to 22", 21" to 24", and 32" to 35".

These new vertical wall enclosures ship pre-assembled with wall anchor bolts and M6 and 12-24 thread mounting options.

"Vertical wall-mount cabinets are great at allowing you to get the most use out of your workspaces," said product line manager Tim Houghton. "Their combination of low profile and big depth lets you activate wall space you might not have ever thought of using."
