Open Frame Racks

Open Frame Racks provide simple, low cost mounting means for rack-mount equipment in IT environments. Ideal for rack-mount servers, networking, and telecom equipment where security at the individual rack level is not required, open frame racks provide unobstructed airflow and fast, easy access to installed equipment.

Open frame racks are mostly used for applications that do not require a high level of protection, since they leave much of the equipment exposed. However, they also allow for relatively easy accessibility when compared to a locked up, fully enclosed cabinet.

• Which is better open frame rack or enclosed server rack?

Open frame racks allow for more airflow and space while enclosed racks enhance security. You will likely want a 2 post (telco) rack if mounting lightweight equipment and a 4 post rack for full sized servers. Check the height, width and weight requirements of your equipment before making a purchase.

• What kind of sever open frame racks do you need for a data center?

Open frame server racks are an effective solution for many types of equipment mounting. They’re as great in the data center as they are in your back IT closet. These racks allow easy access for maintenance, they come in a variety of shapes and sizes and have many 2 post and 4 post options.

• What's the difference between 4 post rack and 2 post racks?

Both 4 Post and 2 Post racks have open frame options. This means that all sides of the rack are open to the environment around them. Open frame racks are less expensive than enclosed frame racks, but sacrifice security.

For network components, laboratory and communication equipment, or other hardware in your workstation, an open frame rack may be the way to go. We offer a selection that includes full-size two and four post racks, but that's far from all we've got. For limited space areas, we have slide-out and wallmount racks, and for areas that require frequent adjustment, reconfiguration, or expansion, we also feature a section of modular racks. No matter the need, we're sure to have an open frame solution that fits.

•  Best Reasons to Have an Open Rack Computer Cabinet 

The open-frame rack provides easy access and offers plenty of open space for cable management, making this solution ideal for network wiring closets and distribution frame applications with high-density cabling, typically used for server room and data center rack applications that don’t require physical security and don’t need added airflow control.

• Easy Access. A huge benefit of an open rack is that it doesn’t compromise access to your network, making it ideal for laboratory and communication equipment, workstation hardware, or anything else that needs frequent access. There are a number of different types to choose from, including full size and four post racks. Some slide out, while others are wall-mounted, and others yet are modular racks.

• Easy Maintenance. The benefit of an open rack is that it provides organization while keeping accessibility open. We clearly specialize in cable management and recognize that tangled cables and wires can be both a headache and damaging to the network itself. Cables that aren’t housed properly will undoubtedly have a shorter life span.

• Better Performance. In order for servers to work properly, there has to be good airflow and organization. Overheating can literally bring your entire network to its knees. To prevent that, open racks provide structure and ample airflow. It is also important for your server to stay secure in one place. Say, for example, your server is sitting on a desk or on the floor. It can easily get knocked over or moved so that things fall out of place. Open racks will keep things in place so that you don’t need to worry about any of that.
