View full detailsA data cabinet (also called a network rack or server cabinet) holds switches, patch panels, routers and UPS units in one tidy, lockable enclosure. Adepta Technologies lists data cabinets in Kenya from compact 4U units for a small office to a 22U cabinet for a server room.
How to size a data cabinet
- Rack units (U): one U is 1.75 inches (44.45mm) of mounting height. Add up the U of all your equipment, then leave spare space for growth.
- 19-inch standard: equipment mounts between rails that are 19 inches (482.6mm) wide overall, with a 17.75-inch opening between the posts. Network switches and patch panels are made for this standard.
- Depth is the usual surprise: measure your deepest device and add room for cables and airflow. Floor racks commonly come in depths of 600, 800 or 1000mm; wall-mount cabinets are shallower.
- Overall size: the cabinet is larger than its usable rack space, so allow for feet, cable entry and clearance.
- Wall or floor: wall-mount cabinets save space and suit switches and patch panels; heavier equipment such as servers and UPS units usually needs a floor-standing cabinet. Confirm the wall can carry the load.
- Security and cooling: look for lockable doors and ventilation.

Typical uses in Kenya
Offices, schools, clinics, hotels and shops use cabinets to organise structured cabling, protect CCTV recorders and network switches from dust and tampering, and tidy a messy comms corner. Pair the cabinet with a UPS for power backup and the cable management range for neat patching.
Planning the install
Before ordering, note the number of switches, patch panels and recorders you will mount, plus any UPS. Leave empty U for future switches and for cable organisers, and allow airflow around busy PoE switches because they run warmer. Label patch cables, keep power and data cabling apart where you can, and place the cabinet where you can open the doors fully.
