Vertiv GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP 45U 750mm Wide x 1400mm Deep White Rack Cabinet

Overview

The Vertiv GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP is a 45U open-frame or enclosed rack cabinet in a 750mm-wide by 1400mm-deep footprint — a configuration well-suited to mid-density compute, networking, and surveillance infrastructure builds where depth matters as much as height. The white finish makes it a practical fit for broadcast facilities, healthcare data closets, clean-room environments, and any deployment where standard black enclosures stand out for the wrong reasons. This unit ships on a shock pallet (the MS-SP designation), which means the cabinet arrives with transit vibration protection already factored in — a meaningful detail when you're receiving expensive pre-populated rack gear. If you're comparing rack options across the Vertiv rack and enclosure catalog, the GL45UEX line sits in Vertiv's mid-to-large enclosure family targeting enterprise and data center applications.

Key Features

• 45U Usable Height: 45U gives you room to fully populate a dense deployment — enough vertical space for a mix of 1U switches, 2U servers, patch panels, and cable management without forcing you to stack a second cabinet. That headroom matters when you're planning a surveillance video recording stack alongside network gear.
• 750mm Cabinet Width: The 750mm (approximately 29.5 inches) external width is the wider of the two common rack widths (600mm and 750mm). That extra 150mm translates directly into improved internal cable management clearance on both sides of a standard 19-inch rail set — useful when you're running dense copper or fiber runs inside a server rack or cabinet build.
• 1400mm Cabinet Depth: At 1400mm (approximately 55 inches) internal depth, this cabinet accommodates full-depth 1U and 2U servers, deep UPS units, and large NVR appliances without forcing cable compression at the rear. Shallow-depth enclosures (900–1000mm) routinely create rear-cable routing problems on deep equipment — the 1400mm dimension eliminates that constraint.
• White Finish: White enclosures are a deliberate specification choice, not just cosmetic. Healthcare IT, broadcast studios, and network operations centers with light-colored interiors often specify white to satisfy facilities standards or to improve interior visibility without supplemental lighting. If your deployment environment has that requirement, this unit covers it without a custom paint order.
• Shock Pallet Shipping (MS-SP): The MS-SP suffix indicates this cabinet ships on a shock-absorbing pallet designed to protect the enclosure — and any pre-installed equipment — from transit vibration and impact. For integrators who pre-populate racks before shipping to a remote site, this reduces the risk of damage during freight handling. It also means the cabinet arrives on a pallet configuration designed for standard warehouse receiving.

Integration & Compatibility

The GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP follows standard 19-inch EIA rail mounting, making it compatible with rack-mount equipment across vendors — switches, patch panels, NVRs, servers, KVM consoles, UPS units, and cable management trays. The 750mm width and 1400mm depth spec this cabinet into mid-to-large data center footprint planning. When deploying alongside network and power infrastructure, verify your cable management pathway routing against the internal usable depth before finalizing PDU and rear-panel layouts. For surveillance-specific builds, pair this enclosure with rack-mount NVRs, PoE switches, and structured cabling components from your network switching stack. The white finish is a fixed attribute — if your environment requires black, reference the equivalent GL45UEX variant without the W color suffix. GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP (often searched as GL45UEX 75140W MS SP) is the specific white-finish, shock-pallet configuration of this cabinet line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the MS-SP designation mean on the GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP?

A: MS-SP stands for the shock pallet shipping configuration. This means the cabinet is shipped on a vibration-absorbing pallet designed to protect the enclosure and any pre-installed equipment from transit impact — important for integrators who pre-populate racks before shipping to end-site.

Q: What is the external width and depth of this rack cabinet?

A: The GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP is 750mm wide and 1400mm deep. The 750mm width provides extra cable management clearance on both sides of standard 19-inch rails, and the 1400mm depth accommodates full-depth servers, deep UPS units, and large NVR appliances without rear-cable compression issues.

Q: Why would I specify a white rack cabinet instead of black?

A: White enclosures are specified for healthcare IT rooms, broadcast studios, clean-room environments, and facilities where light-colored interiors are required by facilities or operations standards. The white finish on this unit is a fixed attribute — it is not a field-paintable option.

Q: Is this rack cabinet compatible with standard 19-inch equipment?

A: Yes. The GL45UEX follows standard EIA 19-inch rail mounting, making it compatible with rack-mount switches, servers, NVRs, patch panels, UPS units, KVM consoles, and cable management hardware from any manufacturer that adheres to the 19-inch rack standard.

Q: How many rack units does this cabinet provide?

A: This cabinet provides 45U of usable vertical space — enough for a fully dense deployment of 1U and 2U equipment, patch panels, and cable management without requiring a second cabinet for most mid-density builds.

Marty Allison

When I look at the GL45UEX-75140W-MS-SP, the spec that immediately frames the deployment decision is the 1400mm depth combined with 45U height — that's the combination that tells me this cabinet is built for real data center density, not a shallow-wall closet. White finish and shock pallet round out a pretty specific use case profile that I'll walk through below.

Technical Highlights:

• 1400mm Depth: Eliminates the rear-cable compression problem that plagues 900mm and 1000mm cabinets when populated with full-depth servers or large UPS units. At 1400mm, you have genuine rear clearance for PDU mounting and structured cabling without contorting cable runs.
• 750mm Width: Compared to the more common 600mm cabinet, the extra 150mm of internal width gives you usable side-clearance for cable management vertical trays without stealing rail depth. On dense copper or fiber builds, that clearance is the difference between a maintainable installation and one that's a liability at the next MAC cycle.
• Shock Pallet (MS-SP): Pre-population before freight is a real workflow for enterprise integrators. The shock pallet configuration means the cabinet and its contents travel on purpose-built vibration isolation — not standard wood pallet with foam wedges improvised at the dock.

Deployment Considerations:

• The white finish is a fixed specification on this SKU. If your facilities team later decides to standardize on black, you're looking at a cabinet swap — confirm the color requirement with the client before ordering, especially on multi-cabinet deployments where visual uniformity matters.
• Verify your raised-floor tile cutout or floor-mount anchor pattern against the 750mm × 1400mm footprint before delivery. A 1400mm-deep cabinet requires more floor planning than a 1000mm unit — particularly in rows where aisle width is already constrained.

This cabinet is the right specification for a healthcare data center, broadcast facility, or clean-room server room build where white enclosures are a facilities requirement and where equipment depth rules out the 1000mm options. It's not a fit for shallow wall closets or environments where footprint is the binding constraint.
