Freestanding rack Digitus DN-19 42U-6/8-B-1

The DIGITUS Unique Series freestanding rack DN-19 42U-6/8-B-1 is a 42U network cabinet designed in Germany for demanding IT infrastructure applications. The cabinet measures 2053 mm in height, 600 mm in width and 800 mm in depth, supports standard 19" equipment and has an IP20 rating. Constructed from up to 1.5 mm sheet steel and finished in jet black (RAL 9005), it provides a stable structure with a maximum load capacity of 800 kg and modular, removable side panels and doors for easy access.

Advantages

The rack includes two pairs of galvanized 19" profile rails with rack unit markings readable in both directions and adjustable depth connected to additional depth bars. A special roof design with an unmountable lid and ventilation slits allows improved air circulation and straightforward mounting of a fan module. The cabinet features a pivot-lever lock on the front door prepared for a profile half cylinder (adapter included), a sliding cable entry with rubber sealing on the base and brush-equipped inlets in roof and floor for neat cable routing (available from 26U and with 800 mm cabinet width). The collapsible construction permits complete dismantling when needed.

Route cables through the brush-equipped roof and floor inlets or the sliding base entry with rubber seal to maintain cable organization and protect against dust. If additional cooling is required, fit a compatible fan module into the removable roof lid designed for easy mounting.

Recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, distribute load evenly across rack units, maintain clear airflow paths through ventilation slits, and use the included adapter for a compatible profile half cylinder lock. For heavy equipment, verify floor load capacity and consider anchoring the cabinet.
