Tripp Lite SR42UBSD

Overview

The Tripp Lite SR42UBSD is a 42U shallow-depth rack enclosure cabinet designed to maximize equipment capacity in spaces where floor area is limited. With an external depth of just 32 inches, it fits easily through standard doorways and into closets that cannot accommodate full-depth racks. This cabinet supports standard 19-inch servers, switches, audio/video gear, and power units while maintaining a stationary load capacity of 3000 pounds, making it a robust solution for branch offices, small data rooms, retail back offices, and other compact environments.

Key features

• Adjustable mounting rails that move in precise 1/4 inch increments for exact equipment positioning
• Locking front and rear doors that can be reversed or fully removed to provide flexible and secure access
• Locking side panels that protect cabling while allowing quick removal for maintenance or upgrades
• Pre-installed casters enable easy transport through doorways, with leveling feet to stabilize the cabinet once positioned
• Integrated baying tabs allow multiple cabinets to be joined securely, closing gaps to maintain consistent airflow
• Tool-free mounting points inside the enclosure accept up to four vertical power distribution units or cable managers for organized setups
• Vented top panel and perforated front and rear doors promote front-to-back airflow, matching typical server cooling patterns
• Grounding points and secure locking mechanisms help meet PCI DSS physical security requirements

Installation and setup

Moving and installing the SR42UBSD is straightforward for a single person.

The reversible and removable doors, along with the locking side panels, simplify access during installation and future maintenance. Tool-free mounting points inside the cabinet speed up the addition of power distribution units and cable management accessories, reducing setup time and complexity.

Ideal uses and environments

This shallow-depth rack enclosure is well suited to environments where space is at a premium but reliable equipment housing is essential. It fits well in branch offices, classrooms, retail back offices, broadcast trucks, and small data rooms. IT professionals and integrators will appreciate its ability to safeguard critical gear while supporting future growth. The cabinet’s design also supports compliance with physical security standards like PCI DSS, making it a strong choice for regulated industries.

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.
