Wall Mount Cabinets

About wall-mount network cabinets

Wall-mount network cabinets for a comms room, shop or office: glass-door units for switches, patch panels and small rack equipment. New stock, held in Doha for delivery across Qatar.

A wall-mount cabinet puts a small amount of 19-inch equipment, typically a switch, a patch panel, a router and a small UPS, into a lockable steel box on the wall of a comms room, shop, clinic or office, where there is no floor space for a full cabinet. The range is new APSYS wall-mount cabinets; the stocked model is the 6U APWM-6406 with a glass front door.

It is for small sites and branch offices in Qatar, and for tidying a wall of patch leads and a switch sitting on a shelf into something secure. Other heights and depths in the APSYS range are sourced to order.

Choosing a wall-mount cabinet

  • Height. Count the rack units: a 24-port switch and a patch panel take 2U, a cable manager 1U, a small rack UPS 1U or 2U. Leave a U or two spare.
  • Depth. Most switches and patch panels are under 350 mm deep, so a 450 mm cabinet leaves room for plugs and cable bends. Deeper equipment, such as a rack server, needs a floor-standing cabinet instead.
  • Weight and wall. The 60 kg rating assumes the cabinet is fixed to a solid wall with suitable anchors. Hollow partitions need a backing board or a different location.
  • Ventilation. Switches and routers run warm. Leave space around the cabinet, and consider a fan tray for a cabinet that will be full or in a hot room.
  • Single or double section. A single-section cabinet opens at the front only. A double-section cabinet hinges away from the wall for access to the back of the equipment, useful where cables enter from behind.
