Cabinets for CCTV and network installations

This range covers wall- and floor-mounted data cabinets, cantilever shelves and a lockable accessory box, sized for housing recorders, switches, patch panels and PDUs on a CCTV or network installation.

Sizes span from 4U up to 18U, with depths from 300mm to 600mm, so a buyer's first decision is how much equipment needs to sit inside the enclosure and how much cable slack it needs to manage.

How to choose

• Rack units (U): 4U and 6U cabinets suit a single NVR plus a small switch; 12U, 15U and 18U options give room for patch panels, multiple switches and a PDU together.
• Depth: 300mm and 350mm depths fit shallow equipment; 450mm and 600mm depths are needed for deeper switches, PDUs or servers.
• Mounting: most cabinets here are wall/floor mounted and lockable, useful where equipment needs to be secured in a shared plant room or office.
• Accessories: 1U cantilever shelves add support for equipment that isn't rack-eared; the small lockable box suits keys or minor hardware rather than active equipment.

Typical deployments pair a wall-mounted cabinet with a patch panel, PDU and one or more switches, sized to the number of cameras and network drops on the job.
