Detailed specifications and the benefits they deliver

Understanding the technical details helps to match the cabinet to your needs. The CAB9WB550BLK combines practical measurements and thoughtful features that target common problems in small installations.

• External W×H×D:600 × 483 × 550 mm. This compact footprint lets you mount the cabinet in narrow comms spaces, corridors, or behind retail counters where floor-standing racks won’t fit.
• Usable internal depth:≈450 mm. This is sufficient for most small network switches, patch panels and cable managers. When selecting devices, verify overall depth including cabling space.
• Rack Units:9U (19 inch). Offers enough vertical space for a typical small network stack—switch, patch panel, router and small power distribution.

• Material:1.2 mm mild steel provides a sturdy enclosure that resists deformation and protects equipment from accidental knocks.
• Front door:Toughened glass pane in a steel frame provides secure closure with clear visibility—allowing quick inspection without opening the cabinet, useful for status checks and inventory management.
• Side panels:Removable and lockable, with vents for passive airflow yet protect against tampering.

• Depth-adjustable 19" mounting rails:Allow you to position equipment to accommodate patching and front/rear cable routing.
• Roof fan cutout:Accepts up to two fans to support active airflow for heat-sensitive equipment.
• Cable entry:Top and base entry points make it straightforward to route incoming and outgoing cabling and to run mains power safely to power distribution units.

• Rated load:≈40 kg—suitable for light-to-moderate rack loads typical of small network installations. For heavier equipment like large UPS units, a floor rack would be more appropriate.
• Weight:Approx. 20 kg—manageable for two-person wall mounting but requires proper fixings and evaluation of wall substrate and load-bearing capacity.

Use cases and scenarios where the CAB9WB550BLK excels

The CAB9WB550BLK is engineered for scenarios where space, security and neat cabling are priorities. Typical use cases include:

• Small offices and branch locations:House a switch, router, patch panel and a small PDU or single-outlet UPS in a compact, lockable cabinet to keep critical network infrastructure secure and organised.
• Retail backrooms and hospitality:Keep point-of-sale networks and Wi‑Fi controllers secure but visible, simplifying monitoring while preventing unauthorised access.
• Home labs and prosumer setups:Enthusiasts who want a clean, professional look for a compact rack of devices benefit from the glass front and adjustable rails.
• Education and small healthcare sites:Where equipment must be protected from tampering but remain accessible for authorised staff and technicians.
• Edge network and IoT deployments:Ideal for small edge installations where a few devices need rack mounting without the footprint of a full cabinet.

Comparison with similar products on the market

When evaluating a 9U wall-mount cabinet, buyers often weigh build quality, depth, ventilation options, visibility and price. Here’s how the All-Rack CAB9WB550BLK stands out:

• Versus basic metal-front wall cabinets:The glazed front door of the CAB9WB550BLK provides equipment visibility—advantageous for quick visual checks—while basic metal-front cabinets hide equipment and can feel less premium.
• Versus shallower mini-racks (e.g., 300–400 mm depth):The CAB9WB550BLK’s ≈450 mm usable depth supports a wider range of devices and leaves room for cabling at the rear, which many ultra-shallow cabinets lack.
• Versus larger floor cabinets:Floor-standing racks provide higher load capacity and more U space but require more room. The CAB9WB550BLK is the better choice where footprint restrictions exist.
• Versus premium branded wall cabinets:Some premium options include integrated PDUs, advanced airflow baffles or higher static loads. The CAB9WB550BLK offers a strong balance of construction, glass door aesthetics and practical features at a competitive price point—ideal for budget-conscious installations that still need a professional solution.

Customer feedback and testimonials

Installation, compliance and practical considerations

• Install indoors only and securely fix the cabinet to a suitable structural wall using appropriate fixings. Confirm the wall substrate and load-bearing capacity with the installer or building manager.
• Follow electrical and wiring regulations when connecting powered equipment; use a qualified electrician for mains work and PDU/UPS installations where required.
• Check supplier documentation for specific CE/UKCA compliance statements if required for your market or tender specifications.
