Freestanding 19" Computer Cabinet SOMI Networks 42U, 800 kg load, 80 cm depth, gray

SOMI Networks 42U freestanding 19" computer cabinet provides a stable, secure housing for servers, network switches and rack-mount equipment. Designed for data centre racks and server rooms, the cabinet supports a maximum load of 800 kg and has an 80 cm usable depth to accommodate deep equipment and cable management. The unit is supplied unassembled, allowing on-site installation and flexible positioning of removable, lockable side panels and glazed front and rear doors for both protection and visual access.

Removable lockable side panels and glass doors enable secure physical access control and easy inspection without fully exposing hardware. The cabinet’s freestanding design simplifies placement in rooms without raised floors and the unassembled delivery allows installers to adapt assembly order, add accessories and manage cabling during installation.

Follow equipment manufacturer guidance for mounting and weight distribution.

Usage recommendations

Place heavy servers and power equipment at the bottom of the 42U cabinet to lower the centre of gravity; leave sufficient rear clearance for cabling and ventilation and use cable management to prevent airflow obstruction.
