Let's talk Server Racks

by Brad on November 18, 2019

Whether you’re an I.T installer, AV installer or just want to tidy up your home office, Titan AV have a wide range of server racks from wall mounted to floor standing.

 

No place like home

With the ever-growing need for digital media in our lives things can get messy.  Cables everywhere, routers and modems, backup hard drives, server computers.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have a place to store all of that?

Many of us now have a home office, or at least a corner of a room that we have our back up hard drives, printers, internet modems, routers, switches and sometimes even patch panels.  With a wall mounted server rack we can get all of that mess up off the desk and put away in a tidy and professional looking solution.

All of our Titan AV server racks have a smart looking powder coated finish with a tempered glass lockable door.  Perfect if you want to turn the internet modem off at night and lock it so that kids can’t get to it.

 

The office

Multiple computers in the office = a lot of networking equipment.  Hubs, access points and switches, bridges and routers, print servers and files servers, we’re going to need a place to store all of that.

Depending on your needs you might find a 4RU 300m deep wall mounted rack will be perfect for a home or small business setup or perhaps a massive 42RU floor standing rack if you’re setting up for a medium to large business.

 

The technicals (that's a real word, right?)

Supplied fully assembled and made out of cold pressed steel, Titan AV server cabinets are strong, durable and secure.  Tempered glass and a lockable door with two keys included.  Powder coated black to look sleek and professional.  All of our server racks comply with ANSI/EIA RS-310-D. ETSI standard.

Selected models come with shelves and fans fitted and exterior slots to assist with cable management.

Floor standing server cabinets

Titan AV floor standing server cabinets are perfect for users who need something with a little bit more space or need that option to be able to move around the room.  With two different styles, open rack and enclosed.

Open rack – is exactly what it sounds like.  With no sides or doors these are the

perfect option for equipment that needs a bit more airflow, like audio amplifiers.

Enclosed - ideal for server rooms or free standing in offices. Features include a lockable front door with glass panel, lockable rear door, two removable side panels, cable entry via top and bottom and vented panels for cooling. Our Titan AV server cabinets are made out of cold pressed steel which makes this server cabinet strong, durable and secure.  Supplied and delivered completely 100% assembled, all you need to do is take it out of the box and start installing your hardware - it is as simple as that!  Our server racks are built around the universal 19” Rack-mount standards, perfect for use with our extensive range of 19" rack mount equipment and 19" rack mount equipment from other Vendors.  Ranging in sizes from 18RU to 42RU with a depth of 600mm

With a wide range of accessories you’re sure to be able to fit out your Titan AV server cabinet to suit your particular requirements.

Cage nuts – consisting of a square nut held inside a spring steel cage these

nuts give you the ability to screw your accessories into any RU space in your server rack. The cage nut is inserted into one of your RU mounting holes to then hold the screw in.  It is essential to use these cage nuts to screw your hardware in.  Our Titan AV server racks come with a pack of rack bolts and nuts but if you need extra we do have them available in packs of 20.
