Rittal TS IT rack system

A rack system, known as TS IT, is being envisaged as a future world standard for network and server technology, according to the maker.

An intelligent modular system of rack and accessories, as well as reduced complexity and easy-to-install plug-and-play, ensure efficiency in ordering and assembly.

The standardised basic equipment of the IT rack includes, for example, a flexible 482.6 mm (19″) assembly level, divided side panels with quick-release fastener, and optimised cable entry with brush strips.

For the user, rapid assembly using accessories such as component shelves and sliding rails can be assembled single handedly without tools.

The system can be adjusted to the 482.6 mm (19″) levels. The mounting level distance can also be locked in position with no tools required and widths of 21, 23 and 24″ are possible. The rack can be just as easily expanded (even while the system is operational) by adding an RFID bar for the automated inventory of all the components installed, such as servers and switches.

With a total load capacity of 1500 kg on the 19″ level, the rack is also stable.

Users can choose between perforated and solid rack doors. The perforated doors, with their free ventilation area of 85%, claimed to be something never achieved before, are suitable for use in rooms and for the climate control of suites. All doors are equipped with practical 180° hinges and permit maximum accessibility.

The divided rear door (a standard feature) guarantees that space is used optimally. The TS IT rack also has a sufficiently tight gasket to make it suitable for gas extinguishers to be used if there is a fire and it is, of course, suitable for rack climate control.

As an alternative to the conventional sheet steel bases/plinths, the TS IT is also available with the Flex-Block system, which can be assembled without tools and allows the base/plinth to be used as required.
