Description
Overview
The RAXX WC16U is a professional-grade 16U wall mount rack cabinet designed for business and home network installations. Built from cold-pressed steel, this sturdy enclosure securely houses your networking equipment, patch panels, switches, NVRs, and other 19-inch rack-mountable devices while keeping them organised and protected.
With a generous 450mm internal depth and 60kg static load capacity, this cabinet accommodates small to medium servers and networking equipment with ease. The lockable tempered acrylic glass front door provides visibility of your equipment status and indicator lights while maintaining security. Side panels are also removable and lockable, giving you flexible access for installation and maintenance.
Arriving fully assembled, the WC16U is ready for immediate wall mounting—saving valuable floor space in server rooms, offices, and commercial premises. The reversible door hinge allows you to configure the opening direction to suit your installation environment.
Key Features
The cabinet features depth-adjustable 19-inch mounting posts, allowing you to position equipment optimally within the enclosure. Cable management is straightforward with dedicated entry points at both the top and bottom of the cabinet, keeping your structured cabling neat and accessible.
Passive ventilation is built in through vented panels, and there’s provision for installing a 120mm cooling fan in the top panel for active airflow when housing heat-generating equipment. This makes it suitable for switch stacks, PoE switches, and other equipment that benefits from additional cooling.
Security is well-considered with separate locks for the front door and side panels, each supplied with two keys. The robust construction and secure locking mechanism protect your critical infrastructure from unauthorised access and accidental interference.
