Description

Take control of your data center with the Eaton Tripp Lite SmartRack 45U Standard-Depth 4-Post Premium Open Frame Rack. This open-frame design emphasizes accessibility, airflow, and scalable mounting for a wide range of 19" equipment. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets, it delivers robust stability in a versatile, cost-effective package that grows with your infrastructure.

  • Maximized accessibility and airflow: The open-frame configuration, with no sides, doors, or roof, provides near-unrestricted front-to-back access to equipment and cabling. This design promotes superior cooling, reduces hot spots, and makes IT staff faster to install, service, and upgrade gear. In environments with raised floors and high-density equipment, the open frame works with perforated floor tiles and ceiling-mounted cooling to sustain consistent temperatures and improve energy efficiency. The lack of enclosure panels also simplifies asset tracking and routine cleaning, which can extend the life of components and cables.
  • Generous 45U capacity for growth: 45U of vertical mounting space supports a broad mix of devices—servers, storage, switches, routers, patch panels, PDUs, and security appliances—without forcing frequent reshuffles. This capacity is especially valuable for labs and mid-sized data centers that anticipate expansion, allowing you to consolidate multiple components in a single rack. The standard-depth footprint is optimized to fit a wide array of equipment while maintaining accessible cable routing and airflow corridors. With 19" rack-mount standards, you can mix and match rails and trays from a broad ecosystem of vendors.
  • Flexible mounting rails with square-hole versatility: Four interior vertical posts incorporate unthreaded square holes that accommodate most 19" mounting rails and equipment with a variety of mounting depths. This flexibility simplifies upgrades and replacements, enabling you to swap in newer blades, blade servers, or high-density switches without changing the frame. The square-hole pattern provides consistent alignment and load distribution across the mounting surface, helping to prevent misalignment that can stress equipment. The open-frame design also makes it easier to route cables behind rails, reducing tangling and improving airflow.
  • Durable, premium construction for enterprise reliability: Crafted from heavy-duty steel with a durable powder-coated finish, the SmartRack open frame is built to withstand the rigors of busy data centers and network closets. The four-post configuration ensures stable support for tall, heavy equipment stacks and reduces sway during maintenance. The open design does not compromise structural integrity; it is engineered to endure daily installation cycles, frequent cabling, and repeated heat cycles from high-heat devices, while still offering a sleek appearance that fits professional environments.
  • Fast deployment, easy maintenance, and scalable organization: Because there are no side panels or enclosure doors to contend with, installation is quicker, with fewer parts to assemble. Cable routing is straightforward, and typical maintenance tasks—swapping out a failed blade, relocating a patch panel, or upgrading a switch—can be completed with minimal downtime. The open frame also supports efficient cable management with optional accessories like cable managers and tie-down bars, helping you keep a clean, organized rack that simplifies monitoring and reduces troubleshooting time.
