AtlasIED 324-12 19-Inch Wide Opening Stand-Alone Wall Cabinet

AtlasIED 324-12 19-Inch Wide Opening Stand-Alone Wall Cabinet

The AtlasIED 324-12 19-Inch Wide Opening Stand-Alone Wall Cabinet is welded with center-section depths of 12 and 15-inch respectively. The basic model includes three, 16-gauge CRS sections which include a 2-inch deep, solid-steel front door, a 12 or 15-inch deep center section with adjustable mounting rails, and a 4-1⁄2 inch deep rear door.

Ergonomics

The panel space openings range from 7 RU to 35 RU. The enclosures are equipped with provisions for custom cabinet mounting, wire man­agement, equipment mounting, and structural support. The cabinet is finished in 962 black epoxy. It includes adjustable front rack rails tapped 10–32, and manufactured to standard E.I.A. 1⁄2 inch spacing. Models with RU openings of 16RU, 24RU, and 35RU are equipped with center section mounting rail supports.

Smooth Mechanism

The internal open raceways provide cable pathways in the cabinet. The corner brace supports, which straddle the back and side panel of the rear section (hinge side), also feature round (1 1⁄4 inch diameter) wire access holes for harnessing excess wire. The back face of the rear section is equipped with 1⁄4 inch deep boss detents which give contractors the field flexibility to install a custom plywood, aluminum, or steel sub-plate for mounting accessories inside the cabinet. The boss detents are on 12-inch centers and vary depending upon model height (10RU, 12RU, and 16RU models have four detents, 24RU models have six detents and 35RU models have eight detents).

Sturdy Cabinets

The cabinets have 20 conduit knockouts on the rear section, with the exception of the 307-12 which has 16. The conduit arrays are located at the top and bottom of the back panel (except 307-12 which has a centered array), as well as on the top and bottom back flanges. The panel arrays consist of four knockouts: two 1-inch (25mm) standard and two 1⁄2 inch (13mm) / 3⁄4 inch (19mm) concentric. The top and bottom flange arrays are comprised of six knockouts, three 1-inch (25mm) standard and three 1⁄2 inch (13mm) / 3⁄4 inch (19mm) concentric.

Functionality

The perforated vents, located on both sides (top and bottom) of the center section, provide ventilation for rack-mounted electronics. The cabinets offer exceptional structural support. The units’ one-piece front and rear sections are strengthened with frame flanges on the bottom, top, and sides. The center sections are plug-welded, joining bottom and top panels to side panels. The rear sections have corner brace supports which bridge the back and side panel (hinge side) giving the back (mounted) panel extra reinforcement for tension relief. These cabinets also have electric-welded seams and miters which increases the cabinet's overall bonding. The center section offers maximum reinforcement provisions, such as a uniquely designed center section guide plate that reduces potential sagging by distributing cabinet and equipment weight to the rear section. The 11-gauge, 1-7⁄8 inch wide guide plate, which mounts to the rear section’s bottom flange, provides a 3⁄4 inch lip for added support to the center section when the cabinet is open or closed. The plate also ensures that an equipment-weighted center section will close properly, by 'guiding alignment' pins into respective holes. An optional caster for carrying the weight of the center sections is available (Atlas CT31A).
