How to use

Position the connector between adjacent rack enclosures so that the mounting points on both racks align with the connector flanges. Secure the connector using the appropriate fasteners supplied with or recommended for the rack system, ensuring even torque to preserve alignment. After fastening, verify that the racks are flush and that doors, panels and cable passes operate without obstruction. Installation should follow the rack manufacturer’s assembly instructions and any site-specific safety procedures.

Recommendations

Use stainless-steel connectors in environments where moisture or aggressive cleaning agents may be present to minimize corrosion. Check compatibility with VX IT and TS IT mounting profiles before installation and inspect connections periodically to confirm fastener tightness and structural integrity.
