What exactly is a network cabinet?

A network cabinet allows for the secure storage of distribution technology. This not only saves space but also time, as all important components are found in one place within the network cabinet. This way, you always have cables, switches, routers, and other accessories within reach. A network cabinet reliably protects its contents from external influences.

A 19-inch cabinet is standardized, so 19-inch components always fit. Network cabinets typically measure between 600 mm and 800 mm in width and depth. By the way, 19 inches is equivalent to 48.26 cm.

What is the difference between a network cabinet and a server cabinet?

A server cabinet is the heart of a company. It houses important servers, without which a company could not function. These servers are full of valuable data. Therefore, a server cabinet is not comparable to a regular cabinet.

Server cabinets ensure that these important data carriers are not damaged. Since servers can be very heavy, a server cabinet is built to be especially robust. A solid server cabinet ensures smooth network operation. It protects valuable data from dust, scratches, and other damages.

Different content, different casing

Unlike a network cabinet, a server cabinet is specially insulated to prevent data carriers from overheating. Some server cabinets even come with air conditioning. These devices are particularly suited for large server capacities. A typical server cabinet measures between 600 mm and 800 mm in width and is 900 mm to about 1,000 mm deep—deeper than a network cabinet. Additionally, it often has multiple ventilation slots to prevent overheating of devices. It often also includes a tilt protection to ensure a stable stand even with extended servers.

The standardized size for server cabinets is also 19 inches. They are available in height units ranging from about 6 HE to 43 HE.

What does HE mean?

Network cabinets (and server cabinets) are available in various heights and depths. In general, measurements are given in inches and the so-called "height units" (HE). 1 HE corresponds to approximately 44.45 mm. The practical thing is that network components are also measured in HE. So, if you're unsure about the height of your cabinet, simply calculate the HE of the planned contents.

For example: If you need to store thirty 1 HE power strips and twelve 1 HE switches, this adds up to 32 HE. So, the appropriate cabinet should be at least 32 HE high.

By the way, one 19-inch cabinet might have 41 HE, while another 19-inch cabinet could have 43 HE. Why? Cabinets can be constructed differently, for example, varying in the design of the base or top, even though they both have the same inch measurements.

What are the most common network and server cabinets?

Server and network cabinets come in different models. Depending on your needs, you can choose from the following models:

Floor-standing cabinets

As the name suggests, these cabinets stand freely in the room. Most of them are network cabinets with a special glass door, while the housing is made of steel. In server cabinets, perforated doors are often used to ensure better ventilation. Floor-standing cabinets can be placed on leveling feet, castors, or a base. The right accessories allow for customization according to individual requirements.

Wall-mounted cabinets

Wall-mounted cabinets are ideal for securely housing active and passive components in 19-inch technology. They are the perfect solution for those looking to store network components in a space-saving manner. These cabinets are more compact than traditional floor-standing cabinets and come in a one-piece version with a depth of 400 mm and a two-piece version with a depth of 500 mm. The rear section of the cabinets features cable entry openings, which are conventionally covered with metal panels that can be easily removed and replaced with a brush strip.

Office cabinets

Office cabinets allow network components to be securely and stylishly stored in office spaces. Laminated MDF panels give these cabinets an elegant look, making them blend in seamlessly. Our office cabinets can be either placed on the floor or mounted on the wall and can be individually equipped with the appropriate accessories.
