Freestanding racks - racks that are placed on the floor. Wall mount - racks that can be mounted on a wall. Versatile - which can be sued as a wall mount, desktop, or freestanding. These are three types of racks or network cabinets that you can choose to house your equipment. Before deciding on which type of cabinet or rack that you want, there are numerous factors to consider about your equipment. Here are a few basic tips for choosing the network cabinet or rack that will serve you and your equipment best.

Usable Mounting Space inside the Cabinet:Verify the usable mounting space available in the cabinet or rack that you have selected. This information is included in the specifications for the cabinet. Note that the rack or network cabinets total depth is different from the maximum usable mounting depth.Allow extra space in front and behind the equipment mounted inside the cabinet or rack if the equipment requires any type of cable hook-up such as power cables or network cables. Also consider the space required for ease in providing maintenance to the equipment.

Physical Dimensions and Weight of your equipment:First check the physical dimensions and the weight of your equipment. Some equipment is bulky or heavy and might fit only in the freestanding racks. Smaller equipment can fit inside desktop or wall mount cabinets. However, if you anticipate installing additional equipment in the future, you might want to consider a larger rack or cabinet to ensure your future equipment will fit. Thinking about this now can save you time and money later.

Specifications and Special Requirements:These factors are the preliminary key points to consider. Some network equipment may need special attention and considerations not listed here. Carefully read any restrictions that are noted by the equipment manufacturer for any special housing accommodation and look for a rack or cabinet that can accommodate these special requirements.Access Points to Equipment:While some applications and equipment require only front access, others might need side or back access. Determine what type of access you might need to use and maintain your equipment and make sure that the rack or network cabinets you choose will provide you the access that you need.What Accessories Are Necessary for your Equipment:Check to see if your equipment will require a cooling system, shelves, cable management, or any other accessories. Some heat generating equipment requires a cooling system to improve ventilation. Some equipment with intricate cabling may require a cable management system.

Often, the need for a designed rack or network cabinets is the result of a non-standard size requirement that is not available in the market. For example, if your equipment requires a 17U rack or cabinet with a depth of 16'', but you could only find that the market offers 20U racks with depths of 20'' as a standard, you may need to develop a custom rack. Keep in mind, if you only have a few racks, you may be able to get by.
