Custom Manufactured Racks, Cabinets and Patch Cable
Our company offers custom configured racks to suit many different types of applications and needs. Some situations require advanced rack cooling and power installations which mean a system engineer is necessary to design and configure them.
Since MDI Electrical Construction is capable of manufacturing custom network and server racks and cabinets based on a customer’s specification and need, we often get inquiries involving this customization and would therefore like to point out the benefits of this procedure and what is involved in this process.
The numerous benefits of using a customized rack or cabinet based on your specific requirements include increased effectiveness, comfort of usage since it is designed to accommodate specific equipment, and it might contribute to cost reduction. When you customize your own rack or cabinet, you can provide specifications for your new design which can include options such as:
- Specifying a non-standard size in terms of height or depth. For example, an uncommon 11U rack or cabinet with a low or high depth, depending on your equipment
- Access points specifically made for the equipment being mounted in the rack or cabinet
- Perforated or solid metal or glass door
- Solid or perforated side panels
- Wall mount, desktop, or free standing rack or cabinet
- Leveling feet or castors
- Color
- Type of locking mechanism using a key or combination lock
- Built in accessories which may consist of cooling systems, shelving, cable management, etc.
- Any other requirement that you may have for your specific equipment
Designing a custom rack or cabinet based on a customer’s unique specifications requires engineering, designing, and prototypes. Because these rack and cabinets are custom we can manufacture in any quantity. MDI Electrical Construction is proud to have customers both in the United States, Canada, and overseas that utilize our capabilities of manufacturing quality custom racks and cabinets. Once we have completed the collaborative design process, we then present a prototype to the customer for approval. After approval, the next stage would be production and delivery.
