Network Rack Cabinets FAQ’s and Guide

Confused about network rack cabinets? Here is a compilation of the most common questions people ask about server racks and cabinets. You might find one of these useful before you buy server cabinets for your small home network rack project or large network rack installations.

What is rack in-network?

A network rack cabinet is a steel enclosure that houses a number of network devices and server equipment.

What is the difference between rack and cabinet?

The main difference between a rack and cabinet is that data Racks are only metal frame chassis with no sidewalls and where several network equipment is mounted while Network cabinets or server cabinets are built with steel walls that can be flexibly removed. The term ”rack-mount equipment” is often associated with network racks where equipment is placed in racks. Cabinets, on the other hand, are designed to fit 19” compatible server equipment. Another thing is, when you see the network frame with only 2 vertical posts, this is called a 2 post rack. Most data cabinets, on the other hand, have rectangular frame enclosures known as 4 post rack enclosures. Since 2 post racks are less bulkier than 4 post racks, you can use it for home networks when it is needed. OTSCABLE manufactures and supplies these at a low cost.

What type of measurement is used for rack mounted equipment?

When you need to buy network rack cabinets, you need to specify its measurements. The unit of measurement used for specifying the network rack dimension is called “U”. This is the smallest unit of measurement used by data centers. A Rack/Cabinet U defines the height of a cabinet where 1U is equivalent to 1.75 inches (1U = 1.75 inches). The most common industrial server cabinet is called a 42U rack cabinet. You may also hear 24U racks. You can easily tell that a 42U cabinet has an internal height of 73.5 inches. This houses several compatible-sized rack mount servers and networking equipment in many data centers.

How do I calculate my server rack size to fit a server room?

Horizontal Width: Most server equipment dimensions are fitted for 19” rack dimension standard. So if you’re opting to buy a network rack/cabinet, you need to know which standard you will be following to know if you need a 19” horizontal width, 21”, 23” or other rack dimensions. Internal server equipment height: As mentioned earlier, “U” defines server rack heights. The form unit for network chassis is designated as “24U”, “42U”, etc. In order to determine the standard height you need, find out how much cabinet space is required to accommodate that unit. Just add up the space requirement in inches and use the conversion factor of “1U=1.75 inches” to determine its height requirement. The size of the server rack should also accommodate ample ventilation and heat dissipation units as proper server ventilation is very essential in server rooms.

• Switches – a centralized hardware device that receive and send data to specific destinations within a LAN.
• Routers – Like switches, a router also receive and transmit data packets, but it is capable of forwarding data over many networks. Different network devices can connect to the internet using a router.
• Modems – This is a device that connects the internet to the router. A patch cable is usually used for Ethernet connections.

Here’s a video that explains how switches are different from routers and hubs.
