The Novastar cabinet from Schroff provides a robust enclosure for 19inch rack-mount equipment. Built around a lightweight die-cast aluminium frame, the cabinet is available in standard and heavy-duty versions offering static load-carrying capacities of 200 and 400kg, respectively. It can be used either without a door, or with a steel or fully glazed door which has an opening angle of 180°. The side panels are said to be quick-release and are fitted flush creating a cabinet width of just 553mm. The cabinet is available in more than 20 colours and in a range of standard sizes and with heights up to 2145mm; there is a choice of depths of 500, 600 or 800mm. For good mobility, there are four different castor designs, including one version with built-in adjustable feet and one anti-static version made from conductive material. A T-slot integrated into the heavy-duty cabinet frame enables a support-arm system to be attached, according to the company. Accessories such as fixed or pull-out shelves, slide rails, lifting eyes, a stacking kit and a side-by-side mounting kit are also available. In addition, the cabinet is available with custom cut-outs, drilling, or special printing.
