How to use

Begin by securing the cabinet to wall studs using the pre-spaced mounting holes positioned 16 inches apart. Adjust the internal mounting rails to match the depth requirements of your hardware, choosing between square holes with cage nuts or tapped rails. Install your EIA-310 compliant devices into the 26U space, utilizing the included 1U shelf for non-rack-mountable equipment. Route and secure your cables using the provided hook-and-loop fasteners to maintain a tidy installation. Lock all panels and doors to secure the equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your wall construction can support the combined weight of the cabinet and installed equipment up to 90 kg
• Check the depth of your devices to ensure they fit within the 3 to 16 inch adjustable range
• Ensure adequate clearance space around the cabinet for the hinged enclosure to swing open
• Confirm that passive cooling is sufficient for your specific thermal load

For best results, plan your cable routing before mounting the cabinet and ensure that the installation wall is strong enough to support the total loaded weight securely.
