Tripp Lite SR42UBCL

Overview

The Tripp Lite SR42UBCL is a 42U standard-depth rack enclosure cabinet designed to house and protect IT equipment in two fully separate compartments within a single footprint. This setup is ideal for colocation facilities, managed service providers, or organizations that require physical isolation of different clients’ hardware without expanding their data-center floor space. Each compartment supports equipment up to 37 inches deep and offers more than 65 percent open space on the front and rear doors to promote effective airflow and cooling.

Key features

• Two separate compartments provide secure physical isolation for different clients or equipment groups within one cabinet.
• Lockable doors and side panels enhance security while allowing quick removal and reversible installation to fit room layouts.
• Tool-free accessory rails make it easy to add power distribution units (PDUs), vertical cable managers, and other SmartRack accessories without extra tools.
• Pre-installed casters enable a single technician to move the cabinet easily, then stabilize it with leveling feet for secure placement.
• Secure cable channels inside each compartment keep power and data cables organized and out of reach, reducing clutter and risk of accidental disconnection.
• Meets PCI DSS physical-security guidelines, making it suitable for environments handling payment card or sensitive data.
• Durable powder-coated finish protects the cabinet from wear and tear over years of use in demanding data center environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This rack enclosure is compatible with a wide range of standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment including servers, switches, and storage arrays. The adjustable mounting rails accommodate various depths up to 37 inches, ensuring flexibility for different hardware configurations. Its design supports integration into enterprise data centers, edge computing sites, and managed colocation facilities where secure separation of equipment is critical.

Performance and reliability

The cabinet’s robust frame supports heavy loads up to 3000 pounds when stationary, providing confidence that fully populated racks remain stable and secure. The powder-coated finish resists scratches and corrosion, extending the cabinet’s lifespan. Ventilated doors and side panels promote airflow to help maintain optimal operating temperatures for sensitive electronics, reducing the risk of overheating and downtime.

Ideal uses and environments

This enclosure is well suited to environments where multiple clients or departments share rack space but require physical separation for security or compliance reasons. It fits well in colocation data centers, managed service provider facilities, government and education IT rooms, and edge locations. IT managers will find it simplifies maintenance and cable management while maximizing floor space efficiency.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
