Protection of electronic equipment varies depending on the application and the requirements. Pentair offers a wide range of solutions, from aesthetically pleasing, functional and simple electronics cabinets to high-frequency shielded, shock and vibration protected versions, with flexible Schroff Varistar and Schroff Novastar cabinet platforms and an extensive selection of accessories.
In addition to the range of standard cabinets, all Schroff cabinets can be individually configured to specific applications by combining off-the-shelf components. Customers can choose from more than 100 standard cabinet dimensions and a wide selection of accessories and modifications, including additional cut-outs (e.g. for fans or connectors) and special colours. If customer requirements cannot be met by combining or modifying standard components, both modular cabinet platforms provide the basis for customised 19” cabinets.
Novastar is a screw-assembled 19” aluminium frame platform offering slim cabinets only 553 mm wide. Visible uprights with a T-groove are provided to mount accessories on the frame, and inset cladding components boast an innovative quick-release fastening system. The system can be configured for standalone, side-by-side and/or stacked solutions.
For extra stability up to 1600 kg static load and mechanical stability to earthquake zone 4 in accordance with IEC 61587-2, the Varistar platform provides up to IP55 and HF-shielding directly through the cladding to achieve performances of 60 dB at 1 GHz and 40 dB at 3 GHz. Variable cooling concepts are catered for with integrated air to water heat exchangers up to 40 kW cooling capacity.

A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
