FAQs
Plan for adequate clearance around the enclosure to ensure proper airflow through vented doors. Assemble the side panels and mounting angles (482.6 mm) securely, connect the roof plate’s concealed cable entries, and prepare for potential fan mounting. Verify room temperature and airflow targets align with the 5000 N load capacity and the system’s heat dissipation needs.
The 42U configuration provides ample vertical space for dense equipment, while the 482.6 mm 19" mounting angles enable flexible device placement. With a 5000 N load rating and 645 mm depth between levels, you can host power supplies, switches, and PDUs without compromising airflow or service access, minimizing rearrangements during upgrades.
Yes. The vented front and rear doors, side panels, and fan-mount readiness make it ideal for factory IT and automation networks. The 800x2000x1000 mm footprint fits common production-area footprints, while the RAL 7035 finish ensures visibility and durability in industrial settings, supporting reliable operation across multiple shifts.
The TX CableNet enclosure aligns with industry classifications such as ETIM EC002499 and ECLASS 27180207, and carries EAN 4028177994737. Customs tariff reference is 94032080.
