Versatile 19" aluminium rack cases
Released 25 July 2008

The new family of 19" rack cases from Hammond Electronics are available in 1, 2 and 3U heights and depths of 203mm, 330mm and 457mm.  They are suitable for housing a wide range of equipment, either mounted in a 19" rack or, if required, the units can be used as a desktop enclosure.  The all aluminium construction consists of a heavy-duty extruded frame, removable vented or plain top and bottom covers and optional 19" rack mounting angles and self-adhesive rubber feet.  The front and rear panels are removable and interchangeable; they are of flat construction to make machining and screening a simple process.  Front panel handles that mount to the rack mounting angles are optionally available to assist with insertion and removal from a rack; to provide greater support heavy loads, rear-mounting brackets can also be specified.  The RM family are finished in durable black powder coat paint as standard.

The units are shipped pack flat as standard to minimise shipping costs and possible damage in transit; they can also be supplied factory assembled, punched and screened to customer specification as an application-specific unit if required.
