Front and rear cable friendly cabinets feature more room, a sturdy load-bearing frame with perforated doors and hinged side doors for easy cabinet access
Optical Cable Corporation (Nasdaq GM: OCC) listened to its customers when designing their new data center cabinet, one of the most flexible, configurable, and durable cabinets on the market. The result: a cable friendly rack with plenty of room, perforated doors and rear PDU section for better airflow, and hinged side doors that can either be locked or removed, depending on the application. As an added bonus, the cabinet’s sleek design and custom color options can give your server room the style it deserves.
“OCC needed a cabinet solution that exceeded typical reliability and robustness expectations, in the same manner as our fiber optic and copper cabling and connectivity products.” States Dr. Ian Timmins, R&D Engineer “Now, data center operators can be prepared for the weight requirements and thermal demands of next generation server, switch and storage hardware using a complete production solution designed to be used together, all with the durability, reliability and performance OCC is known for.”
“No two data centers are alike except for the need to support a reliable, never-fail network,” says Brad Everette, Manager, Business Development Enterprise Solutions. “Keeping that in mind, the line was designed with maximum flexibility and configuration options, while staying true to our reputation for durable, robust network solutions.”
The cabinet features a rear PDU/cable section 6.5 inches deep, with plenty of room to attach power distribution hardware and secure multiple cable connections. Angled cable entries and exits allow easy access minimizing cable strain on power cords, and at the same time PDUs face outward, providing easy visibility to the operating power distribution system. The swing on the front can be reversed for easy access no matter what the siting demands. And with 63% perforation on the front and the rear doors, servers and switching hardware breathe easier and run cooler.
“The exterior of the cabinets reflects attention to detail and a unique sense of style,” says Everette. “The custom inset panels allow the customer to choose colors that fit their corporate décor for added style. These are cabinets that look as good as they perform.”
The cabinet is part of OCC’s full-service Data Center Solutions product line, featuring versatile enclosures and fiber optic and copper cable assemblies designed to meet every data center need. Maintaining OCC’s reputation for optimum performance and reliability, these solutions are the answer for durable, easy-to install bend tolerant fiber optic cable as well as pre-term copper and connectivity solutions.
