NavePoint Adds Hinged Open Frame Wall-Mount Network Racks

NavePoint, the Libertyville, IL, manufacturer of IT and AV infrastructure components for installers has introduced Hinged Open-Frame Wall-Mount Network Racks to their existing Swing Gate Racks product line.

The open-frame racks incorporate a rear hinged design that enables the entire frame to swing away from the wall for easy access to equipment and cabling during installation and maintenance.

The hinged wall-mount network rack offers all the benefits of a standard four-post open frame rack along with additional hinged design advantages. The rack ensures easy access to all sides of standard 19-inch servers, AV, network, and telecom equipment in offices, network closets, retailers, classrooms, and other areas with limited floor space.

NavePoint Offers Hinges on Either Side

When installing the rack, the symmetric design allows the swing frame hinge to be assembled on either side, allowing the rear door to open in the direction that works best for the build.

The open four-post rack design allows for maximum airflow which helps keep equipment cooler, resulting in efficient operation and longer life.

“It’s exciting to release new products at the start of 2021 and to continue our expansion of the swing gate rack product line,” stated Evan Schoenberg, president of NavePoint. “These wall-mount racks offer a modern convenience enabling customers to install and service equipment more effectively and efficiently from all sides. We will continue to launch new products this year that focus on solutions that deliver continued quality, reliability and value.”

Three Rack Configurations Available

The hinged network racks are available in 9U, 12U, and 15U configurations in 22-inch depths. They are built with durable high-quality 1.5mm cold rolled steel construction in a classic black powder coated finish.

Fixed rack rails are cage nut style, and clearly marked and numbered, for a quick and organized installation. All assembly, wall and equipment mounting hardware is included for hassle-free installation.

The racks are compliant with: CE, DIN 41494, EIA/ECA-310-E, IEC-60297-3-100, RoHS. Bulk pricing is available along with free standard shipping when ordering from www.navepoint.com.
