Selecting a Server Cabinet Width

The internal width of 19inch rack mount cabinets is 483mm (482.6mm). The outer dimensions of a cabinet are either 600mm (standard) or 800mm; which allows a wider width for cabling and side access to the equipment inside the cabinet. A 600mm server cabinet will fit through a standard doorway but an 800mm may not. For this reason, we offer flat packed server cabinets for assembly on site once placed into the location they are to be used within.
Whichever size is chosen (600 or 800mm) it is important to consider the final location of the server cabinet(s) and to leave sufficient room to the front and back of the cabinets for access. Side access may also be important and side panels are removable; they lock into position.
