APW extends IMstart range with 800mm deep version and baying option
Released 10 October 2003

APW Standard Products Group has added an 800mm deep version and additional bays for its IMstart entry level racking family, launched earlier this year. Available exclusively through APW's extensive network of dedicated stocking distribution partners, and supported by strategically located local APW sales offices, IMstart is now available in heights of 40 and 45U, widths of 600 and 800mm and depths of 600, 800 and 900mm. IMstart is a cost-effective 19" cabinet, designed to serve the requirements of the traditional 19" rack user in general applications such as electronics, broadcast, instrumentation, data recording and other sectors. Without compromising core functionality, the IMstart design, combined with automated manufacturing techniques, enables the product cost to be minimised. It is available with either a glass or steel front door.

In addition to the new 800mm deep versions, all six sizes in the family are now available without side panels for use when suites of individual cabinets are bayed together. The baying kit, supplied as part of the assembly, enables additional bays to be added to populated racks without having to demount any equipment already installed.

A full range of fixed and sliding shelves, fan trays, chassis, chassis supports, cable management panels and cable trays are available.
