Celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas, Day 7: MegaFrame Cabinets

December 16, 2008

Celebrate the holidays with CPI’s “The 12 Days of Christmas Solutions” for your data center. Each topic will feature a unique solution to meet your data center needs.

On the 7th day of Christmas my CPI Distributor provided me …

The M-Series MegaFrame is a classic cabinet. The styling is clean and timeless. This cabinet line is now eligible for its own ten year company pin. It continues to be popular and its longevity is due, in part, to a clever design that has allowed it to adapt to the changing requirements in the field. When this cabinet was launched in 1997 it consisted of a dozen part numbers! It quickly evolved into a full line of cabinets each with specific features to match unique requirements. Examples of the versatility include the C-Series SlimFrame®, that’s one floor tile wide, or the multi-compartmented E-Series ISP Co-Location Cabinet, and even a Zone 4 rated Seismic Frame® Cabinet. Heights range from 28” to 84” and depths from 24” to 39” depending on the series. Another important feature of this cabinet is that most MegaFrames are available in a partially assembled state. This is really important in small offices where it may be difficult to deliver a fully assembled cabinet. Assembly time is typically half an hour or less. There is a large selection of accessories that complement the MegaFrame Cabinet line. This includes shelving products, cooling components as well as cable management products.
