Vertiv GL720E-2936-B-SQM6P 37U 29x36 Black Server Rack Enclosure
Overview
The Vertiv GL720E-2936-B-SQM6P is a 37U open-frame-style enclosed rack cabinet sized at 29 inches wide by 36 inches deep in black — a purpose-built enclosure for IT, networking, and physical security infrastructure in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise wiring closets. This configuration ships with a plexi (clear acrylic) front door and a solid perforated-ventilated (PV) rear door, giving you front-panel visibility without tools while the solid rear keeps rear cabling organized and partially shielded from ambient dust. For teams managing network switches, NVRs, patch panels, and PDUs in a mixed rack environment, the 36-inch depth provides comfortable clearance for most 1U–4U appliances without forcing cable management compromises.
The GL720E-2936-B-SQM6P (often searched as GL720E 2936 B SQM6P) belongs to Vertiv's Vertiv rack enclosure line, a broad family of enclosures spanning 13U through 44U in multiple widths and depths — so if this footprint doesn't match your floor plan, a direct sibling likely does without requiring a different vendor or accessory ecosystem.
Key Features
- 37U Usable Height: 37U gives you meaningful headroom — enough to mount a full-depth UPS, a 24-port PoE switch, an NVR, a patch panel tier, and still have spare U-space for growth. Vertiv's family also offers 13U, 24U, 31U, and 44U variants, so you're not forced to over-buy rack space for a satellite or edge location.
- 29-Inch Width: The 29-inch wide footprint is a practical middle ground between the standard 24-inch EIA rack (tight for high-density cable management) and a full 30-inch wide enclosure. This width accommodates wider blanks, side-mounted PDUs, and accessory cable channels without blowing out your floor plan. The 24-inch width variant is available in the same family if aisle space is the constraint.
- 36-Inch Depth: Thirty-six inches of depth handles full-depth servers, NVR appliances, and UPS units with room for rear cable bend radius. If you're deploying exclusively shallow networking gear (1U switches, patch panels), the 32-inch depth sibling reduces rack footprint. At 36 inches, you're covered for the mixed hardware most physical security and IT convergence racks carry.
- Plexi Front / PV Solid Rear Door Configuration: The clear plexi front door lets staff visually inspect LED status indicators, port activity, and hardware without opening the door — useful in high-traffic wiring closets where quick triage matters. The solid perforated-ventilated rear door maintains passive airflow while limiting rear-access to authorized personnel. If your environment mandates full mesh for high-airflow density deployments, the mesh front/rear door variant is available in the same family.
