The wall-mounted enclosure follows the style and colour of the floor-standing IMnet; the unit is suitable for use as a breakout or distribution cabinet in larger systems, or as a server housing in smaller installations. Available in heights of 7, 12 and 17U, in depths of 400 and 500mm and with a static load rating of 40kg, the IMnet 310 can be transformed from a set of component parts in a carton to a finished unit on the wall, ready to accept equipment or cables, in under ten minutes by one man. The IMnet 310 is fitted with ventilated top and bottom covers, both of which have a cable entry gland at the rear. The front door is reversible, and the units can be bayed together side by side or one above the other to allow for future system expansions. Cross patching between bayed units is achievable behind the front door in side-to-side installations. A full height back panel is mounted on the wall and two C-section cantilever frames support the mounted equipment. The reversible 19" or ETSI panel mountings attach to the C-sections; they can be recessed on 50mm increments, providing variable depth options to accommodate front patch cords or slack cable. If incoming cables are to be IDC terminated on the rear of patch panels, a 19" swingframe unit can be hinged on the left or the right to suit the application. It is equally suited for use with both patch panels and active equipment: if deep hubs and routers are housed, the opposing side panel is easily lifted out to give clearance for it to swing. The frame is extremely rigid, so that IDC terminations at the rear of patch panels can be made using standard punch down tools without danger of the frame flexing during the termination process. *** Ends: 319 words *** Notes to Editors.
