Racks & Cabinets

What are Racks and Cabinets?

Racks and cabinets are the steel frames and enclosures that hold IT equipment in a standard 19-inch format. Open-frame racks suit secure rooms where airflow and access matter most; lockable cabinets add doors, side panels and physical protection; wall-mounted cabinets serve small sites or remote floors where a full rack would be too large.

How ITPro helps

ITPro supplies and installs server racks, network cabinets and equipment enclosures sized for the devices they will hold, with room for cable management, shelves, power strips and future additions. Cabinets are fitted and dressed so that patch panels, switches and servers sit in a logical order.

Typical use cases

• Main server rooms needing full-height server racks
• Floor or branch locations needing a compact wall-mounted network cabinet
• Replacing overcrowded or open shelving with lockable enclosures
• Housing CCTV recorders, telephony equipment or access control controllers

How it fits with related services

Racks are the physical base for patching solutions, power distribution and UPS units, and the switching equipment of the wider network. They are usually specified as part of a complete data room design.
