Vertiv Cmrx 59U 24 in 30 in White - CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6

Vertiv CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 59U Open-Frame Rack — Winter White, 30-Inch Depth, M6 Square-Hole Mounting

Overview

The Vertiv CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 is a 59U open-frame rack built for data center, network closet, and AV/security head-end deployments where airflow, accessibility, and a clean visual finish matter as much as structural integrity. The 59U height gives you maximum vertical density in a standard footprint — fitting more 1U and 2U devices per rack than the common 42U or 45U alternatives, which directly reduces your rack count and floor-space cost in dense installations. The 30-inch depth accommodates most 1U servers, network switches, patch panels, and NVR appliances without the wasted space of a deeper cabinet footprint. Winter White finish suits environments where racks are visible — broadcast studios, executive briefing centers, clean-room IT, or integrated physical security control rooms where aesthetics are part of the deployment spec.

Key Features

• 59U Usable Height: Roughly 40% more rack space than a 42U frame — deploy more equipment per rack and reduce the total number of racks needed in your row or room, cutting both hardware and cabling costs.
• #12-24 Tapped M6 Square-Hole Rail (SQM6): The industry-standard M6 square-hole pattern means standard cage nuts and rack screws work without adapters. The #12-24 thread is compatible with the vast majority of 19-inch rack-mount hardware, so you won't be hunting for proprietary fasteners on install day.
• 30-Inch Depth: Sized to fit 1U switching, patch, and compute gear without overhanging rear cable tray or front-door clearance issues. Shallower than a full-depth cabinet, which matters in tight IDF closets or against a wall.
• Winter White Finish: Purpose-selected for visible or design-sensitive environments. Consistent with broadcast, control room, and retail security back-office installs where black rack finish is off-spec.
• UL2416 Listed: Meets the UL standard for information technology and telecommunications equipment racks — confirms the structural and safety testing that insurance, facilities, and AHJ inspectors require in commercial deployments. Do not substitute an unlisted rack where UL2416 is specified.
• RoHS II Compliant: Restricts hazardous substances per EU Directive 2011/65/EU — required for any deployment shipping into or operating within EU member states, and increasingly demanded by enterprise sustainability procurement.
• Twenty 3.5″ × 5″ 1/4-Turn D-Rings (Included): D-rings ship in the box, so cable management is ready on day one. The 1/4-turn design speeds installs and simplifies future moves, adds, and changes without tools.

Integration & Compatibility

The CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 (often searched as CMRX 59U30 W SQM6) uses the #12-24 tapped M6 square-hole rail standard, compatible with standard 19-inch EIA-310 rack-mount equipment from virtually every enterprise hardware vendor — servers, NVRs, network switches, KVM units, UPS systems, patch panels, and AV distribution gear. Open-frame construction means no door or side-panel interference with airflow or cable routing, and it allows overhead cable drops or floor conduit without cutting panels. The Winter White color variant ships as a dedicated SKU; if your deployment calls for black, select the corresponding CMRX black-finish model in the same family. Both variants share identical rail geometry and mounting hardware, so mixed-color rows remain dimensionally consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What mounting rail standard does the CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 use?

A: The rack uses #12-24 tapped M6 square-hole rails — the SQM6 designation in the model number confirms this. Standard cage nuts and #12-24 rack screws fit without adapters, compatible with virtually all 19-inch EIA-310 rack-mount equipment.

Q: Is the CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 UL listed?

A: Yes. It carries a UL2416 listing, which covers the structural and safety requirements for IT and telecom equipment racks. This is the certification most commonly required by facilities managers, insurers, and AHJs for commercial data center and network room installations.

Q: Does this rack come with cable management hardware?

A: Yes — twenty 3.5″ × 5″ 1/4-turn D-rings are included in the box. The 1/4-turn mechanism allows tool-free cable organization and simplifies future MACs (moves, adds, changes).

Q: What is the depth of the CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6?

A: The usable depth is 30 inches, suitable for standard 1U and 2U servers, network switches, NVR appliances, and patch panels without rear-cable clearance issues.

Q: Is the CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. It complies with RoHS II (EU Directive 2011/65/EU), restricting hazardous substances. This is required for deployments operating in or shipping into EU member states, and is increasingly a procurement requirement for enterprise sustainability programs.

Q: What color options are available in the CMRX family?

A: The CMRX line is available in at least two finishes: Winter White (this SKU, the -W- designation) and Black. Both share the same M6 square-hole rail geometry, so mixing colors in a multi-rack row doesn't affect equipment compatibility.

Karl Wilson

The CMRX-59U30-W-SQM6 comes up regularly in physical security head-end and hybrid IT/AV buildouts where the integrator needs maximum vertical density and the finished installation is client-visible. The 59U height is the main reason to spec this over a standard 42U — you're adding 17U of usable space in the same floor footprint, which on a 10-camera NVR rack with patch panels, a UPS, and a managed switch can be the difference between one rack and two.

Technical Highlights:

• UL2416 Listing: Not just a checkbox — most commercial building codes and insurance carriers require UL-listed racks in telecom rooms and data centers. Having this on the spec sheet closes that conversation before the AHJ visit.
• M6 Square-Hole Rail (#12-24): Every mainstream enterprise vendor — Cisco, HPE, Dell, Hanwha, Milestone server appliances — ships hardware that mounts directly to this standard. No adapter plates, no thread taps, no surprises on install day.
• 20x 1/4-Turn D-Rings (Included): Enough for a fully dressed vertical cable run front and rear. The 1/4-turn design is the right call in any rack that gets touched post-install — no screwdriver needed to re-route a cable.

Deployment Considerations:

• Open-frame construction means no door-swing clearance requirement, but it also means no physical security barrier — in any shared or semi-public space, pair this with a locking rack enclosure instead, or deploy in a locked IDF room.
• Winter White is a dedicated SKU; ordering the wrong color finish on a large deployment is a real cost. Confirm -W- in the model number at PO time — it won't be obvious from a small product image.

Best fit: security operations centers, broadcast control rooms, and client-facing IT rooms where rack aesthetics are part of the design brief and open-frame airflow is a requirement — not a general-purpose data center row where cabinet enclosures are the norm.
