Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

  • Description

    Universal Server Cabinet, 42U, 48"D


    Quick Facts

  • Weight capacity of 2640 pounds.
  • Constructed of welded steel.
  • Generous 48" depth accommodates your deepest servers plus cabling and power.
  • Ideal for high-density blade server installations.
  • Perforated front and rear doors plus a vented top panel provide optimum ventilation.
  • Guaranteed for life!

  • Further Details

  • Also available in a 42" deep model.
  • Add an optional fan tray to increase ventilation.
  • Rear door is split for easy access.
  • Quick-release solid side panels provide instant access to components.
  • Heavy-duty casters and leveling feet are included.
  • Front door features a key-locked double-handle lock.
  • Rear door, side panels, and top panel are also key locked.
  • Protective grounding provisions.

    So cool.
    The cabinet is specifically designed to dissipate the heat generated by high-density installations. The mesh front and rear doors feature a unique hexagonal pattern that provides the maximum ventilation per square inch with up to 80% perforated area. The top panel is vented for still more airflow.

    Add the optional rackmount fan tray for additional ventilation within the cabinet.

    Elbow room.
    The Universal Server Cabinet is extra-deep at 48 inches—so there’s plenty of space for even the largest servers plus room for cables, power, and airflow.

    Vertical and multidirectional cable channels make routing cable easy. Because the cabling is top to bottom and front to rear, you don’t waste valuable rackmounting or access space.

    Heavy lifter.
    The Universal Server Cabinet stands up to the heavy loads imposed by very-high-density installations. Its exceptionally stable welded steel construction provides a load rating of up to 2640 pounds. Use the included extension plinth to fasten the cabinet to the floor for extra stability.

    Locked up tight.
    The Universal Server Cabinet is secure, too. The front door, rear door, side panels, and top panel are all lockable. Keeping your equipment secured and limiting access to it is as important as making sure the enclosure environment is the right one.

    Universal storage.
    The standard 19" rails with M6 holes are ideal for mounting regular servers and blade servers from leading vendors such as Apple®, Dell®, HP®, IBM®, and Sun®. For convenience, rails are marked to indicate rack units. A grounding kit is included.

    Split Side Panels.
    The innovative split side panel design dramatically reduces the space required to open the side panels to enable either equipment installation or maintenance. The design also makes handling of the side panels easier on these deep cabinets.
