• Maximize space and accessibility with 16U of mounting capacity inside a compact 19-inch-wide frame. This data wall rack is ideal for small-to-medium networks, edit suites, and studios where you need room for patch panels, switches, small servers, and expansion modules. The 16U configuration balances density with serviceability, letting you consolidate multiple devices without crowding cables or compromising airflow. Because it adheres to the standard 19" rack spacing, you can deploy equipment from leading brands with confidence and ease, while keeping critical components within easy reach for maintenance and upgrades.
• The front door features a clear Plexi panel that provides ongoing visibility into LED indicators and device status without opening the cabinet. This transparency supports faster diagnostics and reduces the time required to identify issues, keeping downtime to a minimum. The Plexi door also helps maintain a clean, professional aesthetic in shared workspaces. Paired with the black powder-coated steel enclosure, it delivers a high-end look suitable for production floors, IT rooms, and corporate environments where appearance matters as much as performance.
• Cable management is designed into the data wall concept, enabling neat routing of power and data cables while preserving airflow. Integrated channels, rear pass-throughs, and strategic knockouts facilitate clean separation of networks from power lines, reducing interference and improving reliability. Well-organized cabling simplifies changes, expansions, and routine maintenance, helping technicians complete tasks faster and with fewer errors. The result is a tidier rack that scales with your evolving equipment roster.
