The 8U MiniRaQ Convertible Tall is a wallmount rack that includes a 4.5″ deep backplate and (2) 2U side panels. The upper section of the backplate features a 4U space dedicated for installation of up to 96 ports of patch panel hardware. The 4U side panels are capable of holding over 400 lbs. of equipment mounted in a vertical orientation. Internal to the backplate is set of 2U rails that can also be used for installation of equipment in a vertical orientation. These 2U rails line up perfectly with the side panels enabling installation of equipment that starts on the 2U internal rails and ends on the side panels. This open rack extends only 8.3″ from the wall and can accommodate rackmount equipment with any depth/length. Three pairs of removal access plates on the top, bottom, and lower sides of the backplate can be used for routing of large data cable bundles or power cable routing. These rectangular plates can also be replaced with many of our MiniRaQ options further increasing the capabilities of the MiniRaQ. An integrated level and grounding lug assures that a single technician can quickly & accurately install the MiniRaQ and properly ground all installed equipment. The 8U Convertible Tall model can be upgraded in the field to any SECURE Compact model. All MiniRaQ products are modular and qualify for shipment via UPS or FedEx Ground, eliminating the need for a costly liftgate or forklift at the delivery site.
