There are many types of cabinets, which can be classified into different types according to different classification methods. So how can cabinets be classified?
1. By function
(1) Server cabinet: A cabinet specifically designed for installing standard equipment such as servers, monitors, and UPS, with requirements for depth, height, and load-bearing of the cabinet.
(2) Network type cabinet: mainly used for wiring engineering, storing equipment such as routing, displays, switches, and wire racks.
(3) Console cabinet: Used to store computers and related control equipment, it can provide protection for storage equipment, shield electromagnetic interference, arrange equipment in an orderly and orderly manner, and facilitate equipment maintenance in the future
2. Divided by structure
(1) Profile structure cabinet: There are two types of cabinets: steel cabinet and aluminum cabinet. The aluminum profile cabinet composed of aluminum alloy profiles has a certain degree of stiffness and strength, and is suitable for general or light equipment. The cabinet has the advantages of light weight, small processing capacity, and beautiful appearance, and has been widely used; The steel material cabinet is composed of special-shaped seamless steel pipes as columns, which have good stiffness and strength and are suitable for heavy equipment.
(2) Thin plate structure cabinet: The side panels of the overall board cabinet are formed by bending the entire steel plate, suitable for heavy or general equipment. The structure of the bent column cabinet is similar to that of the profile structure cabinet. The columns are formed by bending steel plates, which have a certain degree of stiffness and strength and are suitable for general equipment. However, due to the non detachable side panels, they are not easy to assemble and maintain.
3. Sort by color
There are three common colors for network cabinets: white, black, and gray, as well as some special colors, such as orange particles, fine sand particles, and other types.
4. Classified by material
Cabinets are divided by material, including aluminum profile cabinets, cold-rolled steel plate cabinets, hot-rolled steel plate cabinets, and other types.
5. Divided by appearance
There are also various shapes of network cabinets, generally divided into three types: vertical cabinets, wall mounted cabinets, and open racks. Vertical cabinets are mainly used in equipment rooms; Wall mounted cabinet is mainly used for Wiring closet on floors without independent rooms; The network technology experiments, training rooms, and comprehensive wiring experiments and training rooms established by various universities mostly use open racks to stack equipment.
