Relay Racks, they re less confining Equipto Electronics Relay Rack is ideal when space, installation or price constraints do not allow for a fully enclosed rack. Designed for maximum flexibility and strength, the Relay Rack features a variety of accessories that make it ideally suited for telecom and data center application. Relay Rack features: All steel 12-gauge construction Flexible design with wire management details Tapped on front and rear (10-32 or 12-24) Formed base for stability Variety of accessories Holds up to 800 lb. of equipment securely Comes knocked-down to minimize shipping charges Easily assembled by one person Also available is a earthquake resistant rack Joining racks or tying down cable is easy with Relay Racks versatile vertical channels. Channel sides are punched with obround pairs. The extra deep channel (3.5 ) provides ample room for cabling within the rack. Channels are tapped on both front and rear faces, either 10-32 or 12-24. For a computer tower or heavy chassis use our heavy duty shelf that fastens to both the front and rear faces of the Relay Rack. Made of 16 gauge steel it s available plain or grilled. Edges are folded flat for maximum strength and to allow equipment to extend over the edge. Many different types of equipment can be supported with our half shelf. For instance, a chassis mounted on the front face of the Relay Rack can be supported by a half shelf mounted to the rear face for increased stability and safety. Two half shelves mounted front and rear provide more strength than a single cantilevered shelf. Made of 16 gauge steel, the shelf s edges are folded flat for maximum strength and to allow equipment to extend over the edge. Needs only 2U of rack space. Our Relay Rack s all steel base is formed with integral gussets for maximum strength. The base design allows the frame to be bolted directly to the floor or placed on casters. Unlike aluminum frames, floor bolting is not required for a stable Relay Rack assembly. Keyboard or monitor, this shelf accommodates both making our Relay Rack ideal for loading computer systems. The keyboard portion extends flush with the edges of the rack and accommodates standard keyboards. Made of 16 gauge steel, the shelf is available plain or grilled and only requires 3U of rack space. 9
