Offering up to 100dB of EMI attenuation, can be supplied complete with integrated cooling, cable management and power distribution systems, cutting vital system configuration time for OEMs and systems integrators. The cabinets are easily customizable to suit the required height, depth and width, including 19", 24" and 30" widths, up to 44U (77 inches) high.

The reinforced doors are field-reversible and open 112 degrees for access, with concealed hinges and multipoint locking for security and clean lines.
