There are many types of network cabinets, which can be classified into different types according to different classification methods. So, what are the general categories of network cabinets?
1. Classified by function
(1) Server Cabinet: A cabinet specifically designed for installing standard equipment such as servers, monitors, UPS, etc., with requirements for depth, height, and load-bearing capacity of the cabinet.
(2) Network cabinet: mainly used in wiring engineering to store equipment such as routers, switches, displays, and wire racks.
(3) Console cabinet: an object used to store computers and related control equipment, which can provide protection for the stored equipment, shield electromagnetic interference, arrange the equipment in an orderly and tidy manner, and facilitate future maintenance of the equipment.
2. Divided by structure
(1) Profile structure cabinet: There are two types: steel cabinet and aluminum cabinet. Aluminum profile cabinets composed of aluminum alloy profiles have certain rigidity and strength, suitable for general or lightweight equipment. The cabinet has the advantages of light weight, small processing capacity, and beautiful appearance, and has been widely used; The steel material cabinet is composed of special-shaped seamless steel pipes as columns, which have good rigidity and strength and are suitable for heavy equipment.
(2) Thin plate structure cabinet: The side panels of the overall cabinet are formed by bending a whole steel plate, suitable for heavy or general equipment. The structure of bent plate and column cabinets is similar to that of profiled cabinets, with columns formed by bending steel plates. This type of cabinet has a certain degree of rigidity and strength. The structure of the bent plate and column cabinet is similar to that of the profiled cabinet, and the columns are formed by bending steel plates. This cabinet has a certain degree of rigidity and strength, suitable for general equipment. However, due to the non removable side panels, it is not easy to assemble and maintain.
3. Sort by color
The common colors of network cabinets include white, black, and gray, as well as some special colors such as orange particles, fine sand particles, and other types.
4. Classified by material
Network cabinets are classified according to materials, including aluminum profile cabinets, cold-rolled steel plate cabinets, hot-rolled steel plate cabinets, and various other types.
5. Classified by appearance
There are also various shapes of network cabinets, generally divided into three types: vertical cabinets, wall mounted cabinets, and open racks. Vertical cabinets are mainly used in equipment rooms; Wall mounted cabinets are mainly used for floor wiring rooms without independent rooms; The network technology experiments, training rooms, and comprehensive cabling experiments and training rooms established by various universities mostly use open racks to stack equipment.
