NorStone Rack 42U
Overview
The Norstone Pro 42U Rack offers a storage and organization solution for audiovisual professionals. Combining security, modularity, and efficient thermal management, this rack provides an optimal environment for your 19-inch equipment. Its satin black metal construction, 42-unit capacity, and 540 mm usable depth make it an ideal choice for audiovisual installations.
A robust design for optimal protection
The Norstone Pro 42U Rack stands out with its solid satin black metal construction. This finish combines aesthetics and durability, fitting seamlessly into professional environments while resisting wear over time. With precise dimensions of 600 mm in width, 2055 mm in height (with casters), and 600 mm in depth, this rack offers substantial storage space without compromising stability. Without the casters, its height is 1975 mm, providing installation flexibility.
The tempered glass door, equipped with a butterfly handle and key lock, adds a touch of elegance while allowing quick visual monitoring of the equipment. Its reversibility is a major advantage, offering appreciated installation flexibility in constrained spaces. The removable side panels facilitate installation and cabling, while the perforated square holes allow the use of clip-on cage nuts for secure equipment mounting.
Intelligent thermal management for optimal performance
One of the highlights of the Norstone Pro 42U Rack is its advanced thermal management. Two integrated fans at the top create a constant airflow, crucial for maintaining an optimal temperature within the rack. This efficient air circulation is reinforced by ventilation grilles integrated on the top and a vented rear door, thus preventing equipment overheating.
For installations requiring even more precise thermal regulation, Norstone Pro offers compatible accessories such as additional ventilation trays (NPR2FANSWITOP) or trays with integrated thermostats (NPR2FANPWRSUP1U), enabling automated temperature control.
Mobility and stability: a perfect balance
The Norstone Pro 42U Rack excels in its ability to combine mobility and stability. Its four sturdy 80 mm casters make it easy to move, even when the rack is loaded. At the same time, the four height-adjustable feet ensure perfect stability once the rack is positioned. This duality between mobility and firm anchoring makes this rack an adaptable solution for various space configurations and the evolving needs of professional audiovisual installations.
Modularity and accessories: customize your setup
The versatility of the Norstone Pro 42U Rack is evident in its compatibility with a wide range of accessories. The three included fixed shelves are just the beginning of the layout possibilities. Norstone Pro offers a variety of options, including:
- Fixed shelves (NPRSHELFFIX) and sliding shelves (NPRSHESLI1P5U)
- 24 x RJ45 CAT6 patch panels (NPR24RJ45CT6PAN)
- Cable brush strips (NPRDUSCOVBRU1U) and cable organizers (NPRCABMAN1U)
- Power strips with 8 or 10 Schuko outlets, with or without switches
Additionally, a complete range of blanking panels (1U to 4U) and vented panels (1U to 4U) allows for optimized airflow and installation aesthetics.
Installation and maintenance: simplicity and efficiency
Despite its robust design, with a net weight of 68.8 kg, the Norstone Pro 42U Rack has been designed to facilitate installation and maintenance. Delivered unassembled, it comes with all necessary screws, a detailed plan, and the required tools for assembly. The packaging in three separate boxes (dimensions and weight details provided in the specifications) simplifies initial handling.
The 19” mounting profiles are depth-adjustable at the front and rear, offering maximum flexibility for equipment installation, with a maximum usable depth of 540 mm.
