Standing Network Rack, also known as Vertical Network Rack, is a type of cabinet used for centralized installation and management of network equipment. It is widely used in fields such as network engineering and data centers. The following is a specific introduction:
Structural characteristics
Frame structure: It is usually made of high-quality cold-rolled steel plates and has a sturdy frame structure, usually in the shape of a rectangular prism, which can provide stable support and protection. The design of the framework can withstand a certain weight of network devices, ensuring their safe placement.
Adjustable components: Equipped with adjustable mounting brackets and rails, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and installation requirements of different network devices, making it convenient to install various devices such as switches, routers, servers, etc.
Appearance design: The appearance is generally a standard 19 inch width, and there are various height specifications, such as 22U, 42U, etc. (U is the unit of cabinet height, 1U=44.45mm). The front door of the cabinet is usually made of glass or metal, which facilitates the observation of the internal equipment operation status. The rear door and side panel are generally made of metal material, which provides protection and heat dissipation.
Functional characteristics
Centralized device management: Multiple network devices can be placed in one cabinet to achieve unified management and maintenance of network devices, facilitating wiring, maintenance, and troubleshooting, and improving the efficiency and convenience of network management.
Cable Management: Equipped with a comprehensive cable management system, including cable channels, cable management loops, etc., it can organize and tie network cables in an orderly manner, avoid tangled cables, ensure the cleanliness and beauty of the computer room, and also help reduce cable interference and improve the stability of network transmission.
Heat dissipation function: To ensure the normal operation of the equipment, a heat dissipation fan is usually equipped at the top or bottom, and some have designed heat dissipation holes on the side panel or rear door to form a good heat dissipation channel, which can effectively dissipate the heat inside the cabinet and prevent performance degradation or failure of the equipment due to overheating.
Application scenarios
Enterprise network room: used to install core network equipment within the enterprise, such as core switches, firewalls, servers, etc., providing stable network support for the enterprise’s office network, production network, etc.
Data center: It is an indispensable infrastructure in data centers, used to accommodate a large number of servers, storage devices, network switches, etc. It is an important carrier for data storage, processing, and transmission.
Telecommunications operator base station: In telecommunications base stations, it is used to install base station equipment, transmission equipment, etc., to ensure the transmission, reception, and data transmission of wireless signals.
