Varioflex-N

The network cabinets in the Varioflex-N series have been designed and produced for optimum cabling of network components. Sophisticated optimizations offer market-compliant stability with maximum flexibility. A modular base chassis, which can be opened using screwed 483 mm (19") blind panels, offers sufficient space for cables of all kinds. In addition, there are two cable inlets with brushes at the top and bottom of the cabinet, as well as another at the rear of the base chassis. Generous vertical cable ducts with plastic cable routing aids and covers, installed in the front, perfectly round off the versatile features of the network cabinet.

A separate, removable cover with ventilation slots ensures improved air circulation. This sits over a special construction for easy mounting of a fan module. Four cranked, galvanized 483 mm (19") profiles are integrated inside the enclosure, which are connected to the base frame of the enclosure at several points via depth braces. They are depth-adjustable and have a marking of the respective height unit, legible in both directions. Each cabinet is a robust steel construction made of up to 1.5 mm thick sheet steel. The coloring takes the form of electrostatic powder coating in the standard colors grey (RAL 7035) and black (RAL 9005).
