Specification callouts to check before you buy

• U-size (U height) - make sure the cabinet height (e.g., 12U, 24U, 42U) fits your equipment count.
• Internal depth - confirm server depth plus cable space; common depths are 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm.
• Load rating - check static load capacity for heavier gear and add shelving where needed.
• Cooling and ventilation - choose perforated doors or fan trays for active cooling needs.
