NavePoint, an Infinite Electronics brand and provider of IT networking and A/V equipment, has announced the launch of 23”-width rack accessories.
These network rack and cabinet accessories fit in 23”-wide equipment mounting rails instead of standard 19”-wide racks. They include rack-mount drawers, shelves, horizontal cable management, and blank panel spacers, as well as brackets for mounting 19” components in 23” racks.
The new 23” rack-mount drawers come in three sizes: 1U (1.7” tall), 3U (5”) and 4U (7”). The steel, locking drawers are all 13.3” deep and can hold up to 22 pounds of gear.
NavePoint offers two types of 23” steel shelves. The 1U fixed shelf is made for four-post racks, is 14” deep and holds up to 220 pounds. The three 2U cantilever shelves hold less weight (55 pounds) but require only two attachment points. They come in depth options of 14”, 16”, or 18”.
The new 1U horizontal cable manager has six sets of 3.3”-deep brackets that neatly route cables away from the face of a 23” rack.
NavePoint’s steel mounting brackets enable the mounting of 19”-wide components into 23” racks. Choose between five or 10 sets of brackets.
The product launch includes a wide array of steel, 23”-wide blank panel spacers for closing off empty rack spaces. Choose from 1U, 2U, or 3U sizes, each available in three designs. Perforated spacers enable ventilation, while slotted spacers offer both ventilation and cable attachment points. Solid spacers have no ventilation openings, which prevents dust ingress and promotes directed air pathways inside a rack.
“Our 23”-width network racks hold a greater variety of gear than standard racks do and offer more port density and cable space,” said Product Line Manager Tim Houghton. “These accessories are key to truly unlocking the potential of the wider racks.”
