Industrial computer cabinets protect sensitive equipment

17 November 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services Security Services & Risk Management Financial (Industry)

Sarel PC cabinets have been specifically designed for protection of personal computers used in industrial applications where the PC requires protection from difficult environments. The cabinets are rated IP55: low pressure hose water- and dust-proof when closed.

The cabinets are available either in powder coated steel or 304L/316L stainless steel. Sizes are 1600 x 600 x 600/800 mm or 1800 x 600 x 600/800 mm (HxWxD), all with lockable front and rear doors. Access is 'tamper-proof' as the side covers and roof can be removed only from inside.

The 1600 mm high versions have three compartments. The top compartment can accommodate either a 14" or 17" monitor on an adjustable shelf. The mid-compartment is fitted with a latching keyboard shelf with a sliding mouse pad, suitable for right- or left-handed persons. The bottom compartment can accommodate tower type PCs, hubs, UPS and other accessories.

The 1800 mm high versions have four compartments. The additional compartment is situated above the keyboard/mouse pad section and is used either for a desktop type PC, hub, documentation, etc.

The PC cabinets can be easily and quickly integrated into suites of cabinets, either side-by-side or back-to-back with other Sarel Series 6000 cabinets.
