Portable server rack
The server rack is designed to accommodate network and other equipment. It is also called the installation or telecommunications rack.
The rack can consist of two or four metal guides that are fixed to each other. There are holes in the guides for installing standard 19-inch rack mount equipment with special lugs. To install the equipment without special mounts, you will need accessories in the form of shelves and guides.
Racks are a cheaper alternative to cabinets because their price is much lower.
The mounting rack can be of the following types:
Single-frame - consists of two guides, the equipment is fixed at two points.
Two-frame - consists of four guides, the equipment is fixed at four points. Such fixation increases the degree of load and allows you to install heavy equipment.
Server rack- consists of four guides with increased rigidity and structural strength. Such racks have the highest load capacity.
The server rack is called 19-inch because, according to the standard, the distance between its vertical guides is 19 inches (465 mm). The height of the racks is measured in units (U). One unit is 1.75 inches (4.45 cm). If a height of 24U is indicated, this means that it can accommodate 24 devices with a height of 1U or install 12 devices with a height of 2U.
