What are telecommunication cabinets for?
At enterprises, a separate room is usually allocated for the installation of television, electronic, server equipment. All communications are placed in a cabinet, which ensures ease of installation, repair, safety and security.
The supporting structure is a prefabricated or welded frame made of steel or aluminum. All other components are attached to it. The welded frame is considered to be stronger. But in modern collapsible models, horizontal and vertical guides are fixed in a special way that allows you to adjust the depth of their installation, thereby facilitating the installation / dismantling of the cabinet.
Depending on the maximum power load of stationary or mobile cabinets, the location and type of structure are determined:
- outdoor;
- server room.
Manufacturers continue to improve modifications of all types of cabinets, expand their product lines designed for a wider range of tasks. A modern advanced enclosure should have:
- protection from access of unauthorized persons to telecommunication systems;
- additional equipment with a screen against electromagnetic influences;
- the ability to work in special conditions;
- good aesthetic design;
- protection against dust and moisture penetration.
Vandal-proof cabinet
The main purpose is protection against hacking.
Reinforced floor-standing cabinets are used in case of heavy loads. The design feature of anti-vandal cabinets is that most of the models are equipped with a deadbolt lock. The door cannot be picked up by anything, cutting off the hinges is also impossible.
The back wall is not removable, so the cable water is carried out from below or from above through round holes. Perforated metal elements provide ventilation to dissipate heat generated by telecommunications and computer systems. Outdoor wall-mounted anti-vandal boxes are very convenient for sealing electric and gas meters.
Heated enclosure
In some locations, where climatic factors do not match the conditions required for the operation of the equipment, the ovens raise the ambient temperature to the desired degree. Built-in thermostats smoothly regulate heating activation.
There is an emergency automatic power off in case of temperature drop. Thanks to this, it is possible to operate the cabinet with the telecommunication equipment installed inside the outside of the building.
Server cabinet 19
The most common model has a fully thought-out design. With the help of a telecommunication cabinet, it is possible to eliminate and delimit access to various systems. If the object does not have a separate room, then such a cabinet can replace it and be installed in the corridor, on the staircase.
A large number of accessories organize the correct distribution of the cabling system, increase the safety of the 19-inch crossover network equipment:
- cable organizers;
- heaters for an all-weather cabinet;
- supporting brackets;
- temperature and humidity sensors;
- perforated shelves with fan modules;
- brush cable glands;
- staples and plinths;
- adapters and blocks of electrical outlets.
An advanced solution is the 3-section bookcase, which provides easy access to the rear connectors. The side walls are fastened with pins with latches. The front door can be hung from either side.
Significant savings in office space, ease of installation and maintenance of servers, high-quality cooling, durability are not all the advantages of modern telecommunication cabinets.
