Chatsworth 10696-001 Double Earthquake Bracing Kit

Overview

The Chatsworth 10696-001 is a component kit engineered to provide seismic bracing for network equipment racks. This is critical in earthquake-prone regions where standard installations risk catastrophic equipment failure and data loss. This kit ensures that your sensitive IT and surveillance hardware remains stable and operational during seismic events, minimizing downtime and protecting your investment.

Compatibility

This bracing kit is designed for use with standard 19-inch wide equipment racks. It provides a robust mounting solution for ensuring rack stability under seismic stress. It is compatible with most major rack manufacturers' enclosures and is intended for use in conjunction with appropriate seismic zone mounting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires securing the bracing components to both the equipment rack and the building structure (floor or wall), per local seismic codes and manufacturer guidelines. Ensure all mounting hardware is rated for the intended load and seismic forces. Torque specifications for all fasteners must be followed precisely to achieve rated performance. Tools required typically include a torque wrench, drill, and appropriate concrete or structural anchors (not included).
