    Rackmount Cases

    Rackmount cases also called rackmount enclosures, rackmount chassis, or rack cases are a special type of enclosure used for the protection of equipment when being mounted into standard 19" racking. They are designed to house devices such as routers, UPS power supplies, computers, switches, and audio equipment. Rackmounts helps you protect your PC, ensure proper cooling and keep cables organised. A rackmounted computer is kept in a secure environment to reduct the risk of physical damage or exposure to liquids whilst facilitating adequate airflow. Rack mountable PC cases are great space-saving solution as it allows you to stack PCs and servers on top of each other.

    Rack Case Sizes

    Rack Unit is an industry-wide known unit of measure, often abbreviated to RU or U. A U measurement is equal to 1 3/4 inches or 44.45mm. For electronic equipment racks (e.g. 19 or 23 inches wide), the term 1U is used to define one unit of height. U is the standard unit of measure for designating the vertical usable space or height of racks (metal frame designed to hold hardware devices) and cabinets (enclosures with one or more doors). Units will be classed as 1U, 2U, 4U, and so on. Smaller rackmount cases are suitable for smaller businesses only looking to house one or two servers.

    How Do They Work?

    The front panels of rack fitting cases and enclosures are usually pre-drilled, so you can easily mount them in an industry-standard rack. They are designed with ventilation slots, usually at the top and bottom to keep your electronics cool. The cases and enclosures will also come with screws to prevent equipment from moving within the rack, and they come in different configurations.
