Vertiv CMRX-59U10-B-1224 59U Open Frame Rack Cabinet

Overview

The Vertiv CMRX-59U10-B-1224 is a 59U open frame rack in a compact 24-inch-wide by 10.5-inch-deep footprint, finished in black. At 59U of usable space, it accommodates full-height deployments of patch panels, switches, NVRs, and server equipment in a single enclosure — without the bulk of a fully enclosed cabinet. The open frame design maximizes airflow and provides unobstructed front and rear access, which matters when you are routinely adding or reconfiguring equipment in an active installation. If you have been searching for this unit as CMRX 59U10 B 1224, this is the same product.

Key Features

• 59U Capacity: Fifty-nine rack units gives you room to consolidate network, power, and security hardware in one structure — reducing cable runs between separate racks and simplifying maintenance access in a single location.
• 24-Inch Width: The 24-inch form factor fits standard rack-room footprints and two-post or four-post configurations without requiring wide-aisle clearance, making it viable in server closets and IDF rooms where space is tight.
• 10.5-Inch Depth: At under 11 inches deep, this rack suits shallow-depth installations — wall-alcove deployments, narrow server rooms, or environments where rear cable management depth is constrained.
• Black Finish: The black powder-coat finish integrates cleanly into data center, NOC, and security operations center aesthetics without requiring additional panel dressing.
• Open Frame Construction: Unrestricted front-rear and side access means technicians can dress cables, swap equipment, and add components without removing doors or side panels — a real time saver during commissioning and moves-adds-changes.

Integration and Compatibility

The CMRX-59U10-B-1224 is part of the Vertiv rack and enclosure line, designed to accept standard 19-inch EIA rack-mount equipment. It is suited for housing NVRs, PoE switches, patch panels, KVM equipment, and UPS units in security and IT convergence installations. Pair it with appropriate PoE network switches and UPS power equipment for a complete infrastructure stack. For full rack and enclosure options across the Vertiv line, browse the broader catalog. Consult a physical security integrator when planning rack layout for NVR-dense or high-channel-count video deployments.

Marty Allison

The CMRX-59U10-B-1224 stands out for integrators who need a high rack-unit count in a surprisingly shallow chassis — 59U at just 10.5 inches of depth is not common in open frame designs, and it opens up deployment options in wall-alcove or shallow-closet environments that a standard 32-inch-deep rack simply cannot fit.

Technical Highlights:

• 59U Capacity: Full-height rack density in a single structure means fewer inter-rack cable runs and a more manageable installation footprint for large NVR or switch stacks.
• 10.5-Inch Depth: Shallow-depth open frame construction suits IDF closets, telecom rooms, and security head-end rooms where rear wall clearance is limited to under 12 inches.
• Black Powder-Coat Finish: Matches standard NOC and security operations center aesthetics without additional cosmetic work — a minor but real factor on visible installations.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 10.5 inches deep, verify that all mounted equipment — especially NVRs with rear-facing storage drive bays — fits within the usable depth including cable management allowance before committing to this enclosure.
• Open frame racks provide no physical security against unauthorized access; if the installation environment is not in a locked room, evaluate a closed cabinet alternative from the same Vertiv line.

This rack is a strong fit for shallow-depth security head-end rooms or IDF closets in commercial buildings where a standard deep rack is impractical but full 59U capacity is still required.
