Eaton has added a 2-Post Rack model to its RE Series of enclosed racks for use in IT infrastructure.

The 45U-high RE Series 2-Post racks are suited for both network and closet applications for copper and fibre patching, and as a passive rack in large data centres where they can be used for distributing LAN connections.

The new racks feature a simple open frame mounting solution, yet provide maximal cabling access and capacity. They are also bolted together for easy on-site assembly and have an industry leading evenly distributed static load rating of 750kg.

"The new RE Series 2-Post Rack complements the already successful RE Series IT rack range designed with value added resellers and system integrators in mind," said Rupert Jarman, product manager, Eaton EMEA.

"They can also form an integral part of Eaton’s Intelligent Power Pod which is an integrated power infrastructure system for modern IT applications incorporating power backup, distribution and management with housing and support services."

The open access design of the racks enables quick and easy installation and provides secure connectivity for all internationally recognised cabling standards, including CAT 8.

The racks also boast a pre-drilled floor mounting base, adjustable cable spools, cable managers and vertical cable baskets.
