A network cabinet is a cabinet that combines installation panels, plug-ins, cartridges, electronic components, devices, and mechanical parts and components to form an integrated installation cabinet.

Network cabinets include server cabinets, wall mounted cabinets, network cabinets, standard cabinets, and intelligent protective outdoor cabinets. The capacity ranges from 2U to 42U.

Network cabinet components

The network cabinet is composed of a frame and a cover plate. It has a rectangular shape and is placed on the ground. To provide appropriate environment and safety protection for the normal operation of electronic equipment is the assembly after the system level. Cabinets without a closed economic structure are called racks.

Network cabinets are characterized by aesthetics because the cabinets have an integrated function. When placing required devices into the cabinet, assemble them into the network cabinet according to the installation plan and label them. Power lines, network cables and other wires are provided with connectors. This process is convenient for engineers to maintain in the future, but also can well protect the equipment, such as reducing the entry of dust, or human accidents caused by equipment damage, resulting in network instability and even network paralysis. After all, the network is stable and sensitive. Sometimes, the network cable may be pulled on, which may cause poor contact and indirectly cause network problems. The cabinet can avoid these unnecessary accidents. This is an intuitive advantage, the use of network cabinet, reduce the area of equipment, at the same time to accommodate a large number of network equipment, in order to simplify the layout of the room, improve the overall aesthetic level of the room.

Another advantage of network cabinets is that they generally have good technical performance. The box structure should be designed physically and chemically according to the electrical and mechanical properties of the equipment and the requirements of the use environment, so as to ensure that the box structure has good stiffness and strength, and has good electromagnetic isolation, grounding, sound insulation, ventilation and heat dissipation. In a reasonable topology design, the devices placed in the network cabinet can make the entire management system play a better performance.

The network cabinet and server cabinet are standard 19-inch cabinets, which are common to the network cabinet and server cabinet.

The network cabinet is used to store network devices and accessories such as routers, switches, and distribution frames. The depth of the cabinet is less than 800MM, and the width is either 600 or 800MM. The front door is usually a transparent toughened glass door, which has low requirements on heat dissipation and environment.
