Product Description
CPI’s Seismic Frame® Two-Post Rack is designed specifically to support network equipment in areas with seismic activity. When earthquakes occur, equipment racks move back-and-forth with the building causing violent vibration through racks and equipment. An earthquake can easily damage or destroy non-seismic racks and equipment that are not carefully braced.
The welded, steel Seismic Frame Two-Post Rack resists the swaying motion caused by earthquakes to reduce the amount of vibration transferred through the rack to equipment and is less likely to be damaged during a seismic event, which means faster network recovery.

Product Information
Design Tools
NEBS‑Certified Construction Reduces Vibration
The SeismicFrame® Two‑Post Rack is engineered as a dedicated seismic rack to safeguard critical network gear in regions prone to earthquakes. Its welded steel construction provides a rigid backbone that absorbs and dampens building motion, minimizing vibration transfer to attached devices. This design makes the rack a reliable choice for any 2 post rack deployment where equipment uptime is essential. Seismic hardware such as reinforced corner brackets and precision‑drilled mounting points give the frame exceptional stability during seismic events. With a certified 1 000 lb (453.6 kg) load rating, the rack can support dense configurations of servers, switches, and patch panels without compromising safety. The robust build also reduces the risk of rack deformation, extending the lifespan of valuable hardware. CPI's seismic rack meets Telcordia® GR‑63‑CORE NEBS Zone 4 requirements, a rigorous standard for seismic resilience in telecommunications and data‑center environments. Independent testing verifies that the frame maintains alignment and protects mounted equipment throughout the full range of expected ground motion. Compliance with this benchmark assures customers of industry‑accepted performance and regulatory adherence. The 2 post rack is available in standard 24‑inch (610 mm) width, allowing it to sit within a raised‑access‑floor tile, while an optional 28‑inch (711 mm) width accommodates larger cabling bundles. It supports 19‑inch EIA‑310‑D equipment and a 23‑inch wide variant for specialized applications, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Adjustable‑depth rails--either square‑punched or tapped #12‑24--provide flexibility for a wide array of devices. CPI supplies comprehensive design tools, including CAD, BIM, and Visio stencil files, so engineers can model the SeismicFrame® rack within their projects. Expert consultation services are available to tailor configurations to site‑specific seismic requirements. By choosing this seismic rack, organizations gain a resilient foundation that protects their investment and accelerates recovery after an event.
