Subracks - Enclosures for Use in Industrial Diagnostics

Subracks - Storage Devices for 19-Inch Racks

Subracks are storage devices designed to be mounted as part of a standardized 19-inch rack and are commonly used for storing electrical equipment. They are used with 19-inch cabinets and can be expanded with other accessories to build a cabinet according to the desired specification.

Choosing an Enclosure for Industrial Environments

Working in an industrial environment is typically described as challenging and demanding. Therefore, it is crucial to select appropriate enclosures that are suitable for adapting to a network measurement device operating on mains power and that could be expanded in the future.

A good solution is the low-cost steel enclosures from Heitec, which are additionally powder-coated to increase resistance to harsh weather conditions and humidity.

Protection and Functionality of the Enclosure

Enclosures for measurement devices should have an IP54 protection rating (protection against moisture and dust). Appropriate gaskets play a significant role in such enclosures. Foam gaskets, applied along the front and rear panels, provide the necessary level of protection.

The enclosure for network measurement devices should also be capable of being reconfigured according to the specific needs of the application. The low unit cost should ensure that all potential configurations are financially satisfactory.

Standard enclosures for network measurement devices should also have optimized accessories and additional components to maximize the internal working space.

The choice of standard components for the enclosure is also important due to availability and proper fitting, as standard solutions shorten delivery time compared to custom-made enclosures.
