Marketing description

APC 4-Post Open Frame Racks provide simple, low cost mounting means for rack-mount equipment in IT environments. Ideal for rack-mount servers, networking, and telecom equipment where security at the individual rack level is not required, open frame racks provide unobstructed airflow and fast, easy access to installed equipment. Provisions for vertically mounting APC Rack PDUs in the rear combined with options for easily routing, organizing, and storing large bundles of cables make APC 4-Post Open Frame Rack solutions the best alternative on the market. Customers can choose either the open frame rack with square mounting holes for server applications (many servers today require square mounting holes), networking, and telecom applications or the open frame rack with threaded mounting holes for networking and telecom applications.

Key selling points

• Numbered U positions - APC has eliminated the pain involved in determining where to install rack-mount devices within an enclosure by labeling each vertical mounting rail with the actual U positions
• Reversible stabilization plates - stabilizations plates can either be mounted internally to conserve floor space or externally

Product features

• Cable access openings and panels
  Large cable access slots in the roof provide access for overhead cable egress. The bottom design allows for unobstructed cable access through a raised floor.
• Perforated front and rear doors

• Removable full-height side panels
  Side panels are removable for ease of access to the enclosure during equipment installation and setup. Side panels are lockable utilizing a single key that is also usable on the front and rear doors.
• Adjustable mounting rails with simple alignment
  The vertical mounting rails can be adjusted in 0.4-inch (10 mm) increments covering virtually any mounting requirement for IT equipment. Align the mounting rails with the opposite side of the enclosure by identifying the hole position used. U positions are numbered front and back for rapid installation of equipment.
• Split rear doors
  Split rear doors improve access and serviceability to rear of rack mounted equipment. The split rear doors help to maximize floor space.
• Standard-profile castors and adjustable leveling feet from underneath
  Enclosures are shipped standard with both leveling feet and castors. Leveling feet can be adjusted using a wrench from underneath the enclosure.

  The roof, side panels and front and rear doors are grounded to the frame of the enclosure. Eight additional electrical grounding inserts are located on the frame for external grounding.
