If your cabinets are only partially populated and have perforated ventilation holes in the front and rear, you may not need additional cooling fan kits. Server manufacturers typically recommend a minimum perforation factor for the doors of the cabinets that would be used to house their servers and this is typically from 63% upwards; to allow adequate air flow from front to rear.
Wall Mounted Data Cabinets
Our range of compact 600mm wall mounted data cabinets are available in depths from 400 to 600mm with heights from 6 to 21U. The cabinets are available in a choice of colours (black or light grey), assembled or in self-assembly kit form, with fixed or removable side panels and glass or steel doors. The 19inch profiles are adjustable (cabinet dependent). The cabinets are ideal solutions for housing cable routers, cable patch panels, switches, fibre connections, network, Wi-Fi, remote environmental monitoring, and modem devices. They provide a secure housing when network devices need to be wall mounted in hard to access spaces outside a server room or data centre. Examples include small offices, retail and warehouse spaces, hotels, industrial and process engineering sites. In addition to our standard range, we also offer sound proofing acoustic cabinets for wall mount applications.
A Guide to Wall Mount Data Cabinets
The standard width of a wall mounted cabinet is 600mm. It is the height and dept that will vary in size from 6 to 21U and 400 to 600mm in depth. Inside the cabinets are 19inch profiles (also referred to as vertical struts) to which can be attached the devices to be housed using M6 fixings or shelves onto which you can place your devices.
The depths quoted are the external depths (400-600mm). Each cabinet will have a maximum internal depth and it is important to ensure that your computer and networking devices will fit inside the cabinets with enough room for cable (power or network) connections and their bend radius.
Data Cabinet Height Conversion Table
The following table shows the height of a data cabinet in metric and imperial measurements. This is the internal ‘usuable’ height. The overall physical height will be larger dependent upon the type of rack or cabinet.
The table can also be used to calculate the total ‘U’ height of the equipment to be located in the cabinet and how much space capacity is available for future expansion. For example total the height in millimetres (mm) and divide by 44.45 to get the approximate U height.

Data Cabinet Accessories
For each data cabinet we supply a range of rack cabinet accessories.
Sound Proof Data Cabinets
Wall mounting data cabinets are designed to house computing and IT devices in areas away from the main server room or data centre. They are typically mounted high on a wall and so any noise from internal devices may not impact those working nearby. For projects requiring sound proofing, we also offer a range of wall mounting acoustic cabinets that will reduce noise levels by approximately 95%.
For further information on our data cabinets including bespoke and custom solutions please contact our projects team.
