Why choose local stock over long lead times

Key specification callouts to check before you buy

• Size & mounting: 19" vs 23", standard U height (e.g., 12U, 24U, 42U).
• Depth: shallow wall cabinets (300-600mm) vs full-depth server racks (800-1200mm).
• Load rating: static load capacity for equipment weight and shelf options.
• Cooling & ventilation: perforated doors, fan trays, and airflow routes.
• Access & cable management: removable side panels, rear doors, and vertical cable channels.

Compatibility guidance and accessory bundles

Choosing the correct rack cabinet means matching equipment footprint and accessories. Common compatibility tips:

• Server depth + cable space > cabinet depth; allow 50-150mm for cabling and clearance.
• Check U-heights of PDUs, patch panels and switches; use cage nuts for 19" mounting.
• Bundle smart: order a PDU, blanking panels and cable managers together to simplify installation - we can quote bundled options for procurement teams.
