Chatsworth 40602-500 Rack Line-up Spacer Kit

Overview

The Chatsworth 40602-500 is a rack line-up spacer kit designed to provide a standardized 1U (1.75 inches) gap between adjacent equipment racks. This spacing is critical for maintaining proper airflow, facilitating cable management, and ensuring physical access to rack-mounted equipment in data center and server room environments. Proper spacing prevents thermal recirculation and allows for easier maintenance.

Compatibility

This spacer kit is designed for use with standard 19-inch wide equipment racks. It creates a consistent gap between any two racks in a line-up, regardless of the manufacturer of the racks themselves. It is suitable for use with server racks, network racks, and audio-visual racks where precise equipment placement and thermal management are required.

Installation Notes

Installation involves mounting the spacer brackets to the sides of the racks that will be placed adjacent to each other. The kit provides the necessary hardware to secure the spacers, creating a fixed 1U gap. Ensure torque specifications are met to prevent damage to the rack or spacers. This accessory is intended for use in controlled indoor environments.
