R&M says it is adding 19-inch cabinets to its R&Mfreenet system. The sheet steel cabinets aim to fulfill key requirements in local data networks, including the housing of servers, switches, and patch panels. The cabinets also can accommodate PCs, network drives, routers, power supplies, fans, and devices for the Internet of Things (IoT), according to the company.
Customers can buy the 19-inch cabinets individually or in any quantity, R&M states. They are offered in a space-saving “flat-pack” version as well as a pre-assembled version to reduce assembly time. The 19-inch cabinets are manufactured in R&M’s factories in Europe and China to more easily accommodate local markets. The cabinets come with a five-year product warranty.
The R&Mfreenet system comprises wall cabinets from 9 to 24 height units and standard-sized standing cabinets with 42 height units as well as glass and perforated doors. The standing cabinets will support payloads of up to 1,500 kg. They also can be configured in a variety of ways and can be used in environments such as offices, public buildings, residential buildings, and industrial facilities.
