19" Open Rack 42U LANBERG, 600×1000 mm, grey

LANBERG 19" open rack 42U with a 600×1000 mm footprint in grey is an open-frame network cabinet intended for mounting standard 19-inch equipment such as servers, network switches, patch panels and power distribution units in data centers, server rooms and network closets. The open design allows unobstructed access to installed devices and connectors, enhances natural airflow around equipment and simplifies rearrangement and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The open rack supports a full 42U of usable mounting height and a 600×1000 mm chassis depth suitable for most half- and full-depth rackmount devices. Its open-frame construction reduces airflow restrictions compared with enclosed cabinets, helping to maintain equipment cooling without additional ventilation hardware. The rack provides front and rear mounting rails with standard 19-inch spacing, adjustable depth for versatile equipment placement, and a robust steel frame finished in grey for corrosion resistance and long-term stability.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-density 19" equipment installation
• Network closets and telecom rooms for switches and patch panels
• Laboratories or test environments where easy access to equipment ports is needed
• Environments where passive airflow and accessibility are preferred over enclosed cabinets

Key specifications

• Mounting standard: 19-inch rack-mount compatible
• Mounting height: 42U usable rack units
• Footprint (WxD): 600 × 1000 mm
• Construction: open-frame steel chassis with reinforced corners
• Finish: grey paint for corrosion protection
• Rail type: front and rear 19" mounting rails, adjustable depth
• Accessibility: open sides and top for unrestricted cable routing and airflow
• Weight capacity: designed to support standard rack equipment loads (check device weight distribution before installation)

How to use

Place the open rack on a level surface and, if applicable, secure it to the floor or other structural supports according to local safety practices. Install equipment by attaching devices to the front and rear 19" mounting rails using appropriate rack screws and cage nuts. Configure rail depth to accommodate the chassis depth of each device, and route power and network cabling through the open frame using cable management accessories where necessary. Ensure weight is distributed evenly and heavier devices are mounted lower in the rack to maintain stability. Verify that airflow around heat-generating devices is unobstructed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, plan equipment layout with cooling and cable routing in mind: place high-heat devices with sufficient clearance, use vertical and horizontal cable managers to prevent airflow blockage, and secure heavy components low in the rack. When deployed in public or shared spaces, consider adding optional side panels or front/rear doors and using lockable PDUs for physical security and controlled power distribution.
