Asking a few simple questions can help you
determine which rack or cabinet is best suited for your installation. For example:
|
1. What environment
will it be placed in? What is the average temperature?
- Raised Floor?
- Warehouse?
- Clean Room?
- Controlled Environment (Air Conditioned)?
|
- Fan-tops pull air through the cabinet
- Vented Doors, Sides, Tops increase ventilation
and heat dissipation
|
2. What type of equipment will
be placed inside?
- Rack-mounted servers?
- Free standing equipment? (Need shelves?)

cabinet?
- Equipment heat emissions? How much heat does
equipment give off?
- What type of internal cooling mechanism, if
any, does the equipment have?

- Damac Extreme™
Cabinets offer proper ventilation for rack mounted servers
- Add 12" to the depth of the deepest
equipment as a rule of thumb for choosing cabinet depth. This leaves room for wires and
CableControl™.

piece of equipment, and the total weight? |
- Select Heavy Duty shelves
for heavier equipment.

requirements exceeding 800lbs, up to 1200lbs.

limitations?

Construction
Behind the handsome profile of every DAMAC (day-mac) cabinet lies a proven 16
 gauge tubular
steel frame. All DAMAC cabinets meet or exceed current equipment mounting standards and
specifications. DAMAC products include Data
and LAN Cabinets and a 10 Year Product Warranty. Applications
DAMAC Data Cabinets meet a variety of equipment storage
needs including: wiring hubs, modems, bridges, routers, and other communication equipment.
These feature 19" or 23" rackable mounting rails
fully adjustable from front to rear and a full line of shelf
options.
DAMAC LAN Cabinets were designed with servers,
monitors and keyboards in mind. Take advantage of the wider rail distances to roll-out
keyboards between the rails and maximize shelf space. Also, a 48" wide frame is
available in this complementary line of cabinets.

together for a multi-bay installation. Combine Data and LAN Cabinets for a neat, uniform
