The NetRack
These fully welded and assembled racks are constructed of heavy 12-gauge steel. The mounting angles, also
made of 12-gauge steel, are tapped with #10-32 thread in the E.I.A. RS 310-D universal pattern. There’s ample
space inside the frame sides for cabling, so large bundles of wire and cable fit without a problem. Plus, there’s a
locking door with a “slam latch” that provides quick access and security. And the doors can easily be changed
from left- to right-opening with a quick-release pin.
