Connectivity and compatibility

This rack enclosure is designed to support standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment commonly used in IT and networking setups. Its adjustable rails accommodate a wide range of chassis depths, making it compatible with most servers, switches, and network devices up to 37 inches deep. The integrated cable management openings and PDU brackets facilitate neat and efficient power and data connections, supporting a clean and professional installation.

The knock-down design allows the enclosure to be transported easily through tight spaces before assembly.

Its ventilation features and robust weight capacity make it suitable for setups where airflow and security are critical. The PCI DSS compliance also makes it appropriate for environments with stringent physical security requirements.

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.
