Vertiv SC129148 Side CAR Enclosure for ES-Series Racks
The Vertiv SC129148 is a 91-inch-tall side column enclosure measuring 12 inches wide by 48 inches deep, designed to extend and integrate with Vertiv's ES-series open-frame and enclosed rack systems. If you're expanding an existing ES rack row or closing off an aisle containment deployment, this unit provides a dimensional match to the full-depth ES cabinet family without requiring a full additional rack bay.
Overview
The SC129148 occupies the same 91-inch height and 48-inch depth footprint as the core ES rack lineup — including the SC69148 and SCP9148 variants — meaning it aligns flush with your existing row when installed alongside those units. The 12-inch width makes it appropriate for side-column cable management runs, containment end-caps, or structured filler positions at the end of a row where a full-width bay is unnecessary and wastes floor space.
Key Features
- 91-Inch Full Height: Matches the tallest ES rack tier exactly — no height mismatch gap at the top when paired with SC69148 or SCP9148 units in the same row.
- 48-Inch Depth: Aligns with the deeper ES cabinet variants (SC129148, SC69148, SCP9148), ensuring front-to-back alignment with your row without shimming or custom bracketing.
- 12-Inch Width: Narrow-format side column that doesn't consume a full rack bay footprint — useful for aisle-end closure, cable routing, or containment side panels where width is constrained.
- ES-Series Compatibility: Verified to pair with all ES sizes including the LRB-12, LRB-12A1, LRB-12A2, LRB-24, LRB-24A1, and LRB-24A2 accessory brackets — these bolt-on rail and bracket kits are all listed as compatible with every ES size, so you won't need to source a different bracket family for this unit.
Compatibility
The SC129148 is part of Vertiv's ES rack infrastructure line and shares dimensional compatibility with the full 91-inch, 48-inch-depth ES variants. The companion SKUs in the same height/depth tier are the SC69148 and SCP9148 — if you're planning a mixed-prefix row (SC12, SC6, SCP), all three share the same height and depth profile. For 42-inch-depth configurations, see the SC129142 and its variants. For 84-inch-height rows, the SC128448 and SC68448 cover the same 48-inch depth in a shorter cabinet. Browse the full Vertiv rack and enclosure catalog or explore the broader server racks and enclosures category to match the right depth, height, and width combination to your row layout. If you're planning cable containment or cable management infrastructure alongside this unit, the LRB-series brackets listed as compatible with all ES sizes will be relevant to your build-out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What rack series is the SC129148 designed to work with?
A: The SC129148 is designed for Vertiv's ES-series rack systems. It shares the same 91-inch height and 48-inch depth as the SC69148 and SCP9148 ES variants, ensuring flush row alignment in ES deployments.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the SC129148?
A: The SC129148 measures 91 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 48 inches deep.
Q: Which accessory brackets are compatible with the SC129148?
A: The LRB-12, LRB-12A1, LRB-12A2, LRB-24, LRB-24A1, and LRB-24A2 bracket kits are all listed as compatible with all ES sizes, which includes the SC129148.
Q: Is the SC129148 the same as the SC69148 or SCP9148?
A: No — these are separate SKUs in the same ES family. All three share the 91-inch height and 48-inch depth profile, but carry different part number prefixes indicating configuration variants within the ES line. Confirm the correct SKU for your specific deployment with your procurement team or Vertiv documentation.
Q: What if I need a shorter or shallower variant?
A: For 42-inch depth, see the SC129142 family. For 84-inch height at 48-inch depth, the SC128448 is the relevant SKU. For 79-inch height at 48-inch depth, the SC127948 applies.
The SC129148 is a narrow-format side enclosure — 12 inches wide, 91 inches tall, 48 inches deep — built to slot into the end of a Vertiv ES rack row where you need physical closure or cable routing space without consuming a full-width bay. If you're tightening up an aisle containment build or closing the lateral edge of a row, this unit's dimensional match to the core ES family is what keeps the row looking and functioning as a coherent system.
Technical Highlights:
- 91-Inch Height Match: Aligns flush with the tallest ES variants (SC69148, SCP9148) — no gap at the top of the row that would compromise a hot/cold aisle containment seal.
- 48-Inch Depth: Matches the deep-configuration ES cabinets exactly, so front-face and rear-face alignment with adjacent racks requires no shimming or custom adaptation.
- LRB-Series Bracket Compatibility: All six LRB accessory bracket variants (LRB-12 through LRB-24A2) are listed as compatible with all ES sizes — meaning you can source standard Vertiv rail and bracket kits without special-ordering a side-column variant.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 12-inch width is narrow by rack standards — confirm your containment panel or door hardware is rated for this column width before ordering, as not all aisle-containment end-cap kits accommodate sub-19-inch side columns.
- The evidence identifies three SC-prefix variants at 91-inch/48-inch depth (SC129148, SC69148, SCP9148) — if your procurement system has previously stocked one of the sibling SKUs, verify which prefix your site uses before reordering to avoid receiving a functionally identical but differently cataloged unit.
The SC129148 is best suited for data center row-end closure in ES-series deployments where aisle containment integrity or structured cable egress at the column edge is the primary design requirement.
