Desktop and caseframe enclosures

25 May 2011 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

Manufactured as standard in 3U, 4U, 6U and 9U heights and depths of 322, 422, 522 and 622 mm, the Diplomat is particularly suitable for medical technology application, the research environment and as a housing for a wide variety of desktop instruments.

With power densities steadily increasing, effective ventilation is of paramount importance. All horizontal cases and caseframes can be fitted with a filtered ventilation plinth that replaces the standard base cover. The plinth can be fitted with fans to push air into the unit or it can provide increased air throughput if fans are mounted in the rear panel to draw air out of the case. The cool air is directed through the active equipment area by a duct plate that blanks off the space behind circuit boards.

For applications that require enhanced EMC attenuation, both cases and caseframes are available as Diplomat-RF versions, which, while externally identical to the standard units, include beryllium copper finger gaskets that can be fitted to the top and bottom covers at variable spacing depending on the attenuation level required. EMC panels and, for ventilated plinth versions, an alternative finely pierced base cover, enable attenuation levels of around 100 dB at 1 MHz to be achieved.

Optional extras include a range of transparent front doors formed from strong, shatterproof tinted acrylic. The U-section lockable doors can be vertically or horizontally hinged and incorporate coloured styling trims. Also available are rear bump down feet, a heavy-duty carry handle, telescopic slides for subrack/chassis mounting in the 19” case versions and carpet gliders for the tower versions.
