19-inch network cabinet ROLINE Basic 42U, freestanding rack 800x800 mm, glass door, black, 600 kg, IP20

ROLINE Basic 42U 19-inch freestanding network cabinet, with external dimensions 800×800 mm (W×D) and a black powder-coated finish, provides a stable, indoor-rated enclosure for rack-mounted servers and networking equipment. The cabinet offers 42U of rack space, two pairs of galvanised, reversible 19" profile rails with adjustable depth, removable side and rear panels, and a lockable glass front door. Constructed from up to 1.5 mm sheet steel and rated to carry up to 600 kg, the unit includes strategically placed cable inlets in the base, roof and sides as appropriate for the 800 mm width, plus a punched area in the roof for an optional fan module. The IP20 protection class makes this cabinet suitable for indoor server rooms and network closets where basic protection against contact and larger solid objects is sufficient.

Advantages

The cabinet’s robust steel construction and electrostatic powder coating ensure mechanical stability and corrosion resistance for typical indoor IT environments. Adjustable and reversible 19" rails with additional depth struts allow flexible mounting of servers, switches and patch panels while maintaining load distribution for a 600 kg maximum capacity. Removable panels and a lockable, removable glass front door facilitate installation, maintenance and cable routing, and the option to change the door hinge increases installation flexibility. Built-in cable inlets and a roof opening for fan modules simplify cabling and airflow management.

How to use

Place the freestanding ROLINE Basic 42U on a level, stable floor and ensure adequate clearance for ventilation and cable routing. Remove panels or the front door as needed to mount 19" equipment on the galvanised profile rails; adjust rail depth to match equipment depth and secure rails to the additional depth struts where required. Route power and network cables through the base or side/roof inlets, securing covers after routing. If additional cooling is required, use the punched roof area to install a compatible fan module. After equipment installation, replace and lock the front door and reattach side and rear panels to maintain safety and dust protection consistent with IP20.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation and long service life, distribute heavy equipment evenly across the rack depth and height, mount heavier items lower in the cabinet, and secure all devices to the profile rails. Verify that airflow is not obstructed and consider adding fans in the roof opening for higher heat loads. Use appropriate cable management accessories and route power cables separately from data cables where possible to reduce interference and maintain serviceability.
