Network cabinets are there to ensure the organisation and security of network hardware such as switches, routers, patch panels and other components. While at the same time enabling structured cabling and effective cooling, it offers protection against physical influences such as dust and access by unauthorised persons.
High-quality network cabinets such as the IS-1 network rack from SCHÄFER IT-Systems are required for the operation of every data centre. But even small variants for operating a single network cabinet in the in-house IT room pose no problem.
Nevertheless, important IT hardware should never be operated without professional network cabinets. The risks involved in operating network hardware without network cabinets are far-reaching. In the worst case, they can cause damage and result in high financial costs.
Network devices can be more easily accessible to unauthorised persons if they are not protected by specially designed network cabinets. The consequences of such access may include sabotage, data theft or unauthorised changes.
The hardware is more susceptible to environmental stresses such as dust or moisture, which can shorten the service life of the devices. You can therefore have network cabinets equipped with optional security systems. If, for example, the worst-case scenario is a fire, network cabinets from SCHÄFER IT-Systems can be equipped with an extinguishing system that recognises smoke at an early stage and immediately initiates extinguishing measures in an emergency.
Overheating of the devices may lead to performance problems or even failures due to a lack of systematic cooling.
Network cabinets offer the possibility of setting up IT hardware in a small space. Doing without them often means the opposite.
If there is no network cabinet, cables can quickly become tangled. This makes maintenance more difficult and increases the risk of connection errors.
Server and network cabinets are more different from each other than you might initially think. It depends on the hardware that is to be installed in it in order to achieve more efficient performance.
Network cabinets are, as the name suggests, more suitable for network components. These include, for example:
A server cabinet tends to provide the basis for server hardware whose components are used for data processing. They are therefore larger and generate more heat. Server cabinets are therefore primarily designed for cooling, which is not always absolutely necessary for network hardware.
The first question is what size your network cabinet should be. What height, width and depth is suitable?
Much more important is the depth and height of the network cabinets. The deeper a 19-inch cabinet is, the more technical accessories and cabling can be accommodated in it without disrupting the function of the hardware. SCHÄFER IT-Systems offers network cabinets with the following depths:
Depending on the equipment you choose, your desired network cabinet should have a certain depth. Our service team will be happy to advise you on the right size for your needs.
Much more important, however, are the height units (HU) of 44.45 mm each. They not only indicate how high your network cabinets will be, but also how much IT technology they can accommodate. Depending on your requirements, the height should be selected precisely so as not to leave any resources unused.
The IS-1 network cabinet from SCHÄFER IT-Systems is available ventilated and non-ventilated in 25, 38, 43 and 47 HUs. We would like to use a few examples to give you a rough overview of which amount could be the right one for your requirements.
Ideal for smaller and larger companies whose network sizes are constantly growing.
For small and medium-sized server rooms.
Industry standard for larger networks and data centres.
Where particularly high demands are placed on computing power, e.g: Research and education, telecommunications, media and entertainment industry, colocations of several companies.
If you are not exactly sure about the size of your network cabinets, it is better to choose a larger version. So there is definitely enough space to allow the network hardware to work smoothly.
The overall efficiency of your computer hardware can also be customised and improved with a range of add-ons. SCHÄFER IT-Systems offers you a large collection of extensions with which you can customise your network cabinet. The use of monitoring is also no problem if there is a good technical basis.
Our experts are also on hand to help you decide which size and which equipment you need for your requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
Yes. The vertical profiles of the cabinet are screwed to the welded roof/floor frames. All panelling parts and the interior fittings can be removed.
No. The IS-1 server cabinets are delivered fully assembled and standing on a pallet.
All racks are already fitted with a lock as standard. If required, this can be replaced by a standard 30/10 profile half cylinder in accordance with DIN 18252/EN1303. iQdata Segment Security electronic locking systems can also be used.
The delivery time depends on the type of rack and the quantity. You will be informed of an exact delivery date with your order confirmation.
All IS-1 models are available in protection classes IP20 or optionally IP54.
IP20 and IP54 are protection classes that indicate the suitability for various environmental conditions and the protection of people from danger during use. The first digit indicates the degree of protection against foreign bodies/contacts. The second digit indicates the degree of water protection. There are protection classes from IP00 to IP69K.
IP20 means that the rack is protected against solid foreign bodies larger than 12 mm (e.g. fingers). There is no protection against the ingress of water. A rack with protection class IP54 is protected against the ingress of dust and splash water from all directions.
The IS-1 server rack is specially designed for use in data centres with high heat loads and conditioned air (cooled, no dust in the air). It has perforated doors on both sides for horizontal ventilation. It offers perforated or closed doors depending on the type of cooling architecture selected.
