WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., January 2008—Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI), a leading manufacturer that sets the BENCHMARK by providing superior structural support to organize, store and secure IT infrastructure equipment offers the Adjustable Rail QuadraRack™ (ARQR) and Adjustable Rail ServerRack (ARSR) with adjustable depth rear mounting rails, RMU marked front mounting rails and enhanced cable management and grounding and bonding features.
The ARQR and ARSR present a fixed depth four-post frame with adjustable rear mounting rails that allow the front-to-rear mounting depth of the rack to match equipment requirements, even after assembly and installation. The rear mounting rails are independent of the welded frame, and can extend from 15” (380 mm) up to the rack footprint, plus 6” (150 mm) beyond the rear of the frame to hold equipment that is deeper than the rack. The ARQR and ARSR are available in two footprints and three heights, 24” (600 mm) wide by 24” (600 mm) deep and 24” (600 mm) wide by 36” (900 mm) deep with heights of 6’ (1800 mm), 7’ (2100 mm) and 8’ (2400 mm). Both racks have a superior weight capacity rating of 2204 lb (1000 kg) and are UL Listed.
Front equipment mounting rails of the ARQR and ARSR are marked and numbered by RMU on both the front and back side of the rails, and can be mounted so that the RMU numbers begin at the bottom or top of the rack. Additionally, the front mounting rails can be mounted in a recessed position to provide extra cabling space in the front of the rack and to help maximize side-to-side airflow through network switches.
Both racks include one Top-Mounted Cable Waterfall Tray with an adjustable radius drop, which allows for easy side-to-side routing of patch cords and enhanced cable management. Each rack comes with one sample 7 RMU T-shaped Cable Guide that snaps onto the front or rear of the rack and aligns with each RMU space. The ARQR and ARSR provide integrated grounding and bonding features which include a Two Mounting Hole Ground Terminal Block and Antioxidant Joint Compound for easy attachment to the Telecommunications Grounding Busbar. In addition, side panel options are available to cover the ends of the racks and can be mounted to CPI’s vertical Cable Management Products.
The difference between the two racks is that the ARQR includes equipment mounting rails with #12-24 threaded mounting holes (with screws included) to speed installation of patch panels, fiber enclosures and network switches. While the ARSR has square-punched mounting rails that accept cage nut hardware (included) with various threads to match computer server and data storage equipment mounting requirements.
