Hammond Electronics RM series rack-mounting and desktop enclosures

Hammond Electronics has introduced 4U high versions and added extended 559 mm depths to all heights of its RM family of 1–4U 19″ rack-mounting and desktop enclosures. 1–3U half-width versions are also available.

The all-aluminium construction consists of a heavy-duty extruded frame with removable vented or plain top and bottom covers. 19″ units are supplied with rack-mounting angles; both 19″ and half-width variants come complete with self-adhesive rubber feet for when the enclosure is to be used as a desktop unit.

The front and rear panels are removable and interchangeable; their flat design makes machining and printing a simple process. Front panel handles are optionally available to assist with insertion and removal of the 19″ units from a cabinet. Adjustable rear panel mounting angles are also available as an accessory for the 457 and 559 mm-deep units to give greater support for heavy components.

Four heights and five depths are available. The half-width units are available in depths of 108 and 203 mm and 1–3U heights. 1–4U full-width 19″ units are available in depths of 203, 330, 457 and 559 mm.

The standard finish is durable black powder coat paint. Custom finishes, modified and silk-screened front and rear panels, and other variants to meet customer specifications can be supplied through Hammond’s in-house modification service. The series is shipped flat-packed to protect against damage in transit.
