Installer Notes
-
Wall Load: Ensure the wall can support the cabinet (~21kg) plus equipment load up to 40kg (roughly 60kg total).
-
Depth Considerations: 450mm depth fits most NVRs, switches, and patch panels. Check equipment depth + cable clearance.

Side Access: No rear door; removal of side panels is required for cabling and servicing rear-mounted equipment.
-
Ventilation: Consider adding fan kits or ensuring airflow if storing heat-generating equipment such as PoE switches or UPS units.
-
Accessories: Shelves, PDUs, fan kits, and cable managers are optional—order separately as required.
-
Cable Management: Use vertical rails and leave enough space for patching and power distribution.
-
Security: Lock the front glass door when installed in accessible or semi-public areas.
-
Earth Bonding: Ensure proper grounding of the cabinet in compliance-sensitive CCTV installs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How much equipment weight can it hold?
It supports up to 40kg of static load. If heavier UPS units or stacked switches are used, consider a larger or floor-standing rack.
Q2: Does it include shelves, PDUs, or fans?
No—these are optional accessories and should be added based on equipment requirements.
Q3: Can this cabinet fit deep servers or UPS units?
With a 450mm depth, it fits many NVRs, switches, and patch panels. Deep servers or large UPS units may require a deeper cabinet.
Q4: Is the front door lockable?
Yes, the front tempered-glass door includes a locking mechanism.
Q5: Does it come assembled?
Depending on the supplier, it may come fully assembled or flat-packed. Installers should confirm before ordering.
