Vertiv VR3350-002 42U Enclosed Server Rack Cabinet
Overview
The Vertiv VR3350-002 is a 42U enclosed rack cabinet built for high-density server, networking, and security infrastructure deployments where structural integrity and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. At 2000mm x 800mm x 1200mm (H x W x D), this cabinet accommodates the deepest 1U to 4U servers, NVRs, and network appliances without forced cable compromise. If you are specifying a rack for a new data closet, surveillance head-end room, or network operations center, the VR3350-002 (often searched as VR3350 002) sits in the mid-range of the Vertiv rack cabinet line and is sized for environments where a standard 1000mm-deep cabinet falls short.
Key Features
- 42U Usable Height: 42U of front-rail space handles a fully populated switch stack, multiple 2U NVRs, patch panels, and a UPS in a single enclosure — no need for a second cabinet in most mid-scale deployments.
- 1200mm Cabinet Depth: The 1200mm internal depth accommodates today's longest rack-mount servers and storage arrays (commonly 900–1050mm chassis depth plus cable management clearance). Pairing this with shallow or mid-depth gear simply leaves cable runway — that is a feature, not waste. Browse enclosed server rack cabinets to compare depth options.
- 800mm Cabinet Width: The 800mm-wide footprint provides side-by-side cabling channels inside the enclosure. Standard 19-inch rail equipment mounts to the center; the extra width on each side gives structured cabling installers real working room without fighting the vertical cable managers.
- 2,253 lb Dynamic Load Capacity: Dynamic load rating (equipment in operation with vibration and movement) of 2,253 lb means you can populate every U with dense compute without worrying about frame flex. The 2,998 lb static rating tells you the cabinet will not buckle even if you push it fully loaded and stationary — relevant during build-out phases when racks sit staged.
- Powder-Coated Steel Construction: The all-steel frame with powder coat finish resists corrosion in environments that see humidity variation — machine rooms, parking structure NOCs, cold-aisle hot-aisle layouts with imperfect HVAC. Steel also provides a solid bonding point for ground straps, which matters in security and government installations. See the full rack infrastructure category for complementary PDUs and blanking panels.
- 19-Inch Rail Depth: Standard EIA-310-compliant 19-inch rails accept virtually all rack-mount equipment without adapters — servers, NVRs, network switches, UPS units, KVM drawers, and fiber patch panels all mount natively.
- RoHS and REACH Compliant: Environmental compliance is required for most government, healthcare, and EU-destined deployments. The VR3350-002 carries both certifications, so it clears procurement checklists without a waiver process. Consult your rack planning guide for additional compliance considerations.
- 3-Year Limited Warranty: Vertiv backs this cabinet with a 3-year limited warranty — longer than most commodity enclosure brands. For data center and security head-end builds, that warranty horizon aligns with typical capital equipment refresh cycles.
Integration and Compatibility
The VR3350-002 is a passive enclosure — it installs alongside any brand of PDU, cable management, KVM, or UPS without compatibility concerns. The 19-inch EIA-310 rail standard ensures broad hardware compatibility. The 1200mm depth and 800mm width match the footprint assumptions of Vertiv's own thermal management accessories, PDU vertical mounts, and side-panel airflow kits. If you are pairing this rack with a UPS system or in-row cooling, verify that the combined footprint fits your raised-floor tile grid before ordering — 800mm-wide cabinets do not always align to 600mm tile grids without an offset base. Shipping weight of 313 lb requires a liftgate delivery; plan accordingly for sites without a loading dock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the dynamic load capacity of the VR3350-002?
A: The VR3350-002 is rated for 2,253 lb (approximately 1,022 kg) of dynamic load — equipment in active use with vibration and movement factored in. The static load rating is higher at 2,998 lb.
Q: Does the VR3350-002 use standard 19-inch rack rails?
A: Yes. The VR3350-002 ships with EIA-310-compliant 19-inch rails at standard depth, accepting virtually all rack-mount servers, switches, NVRs, and PDUs without adapters.
Q: Is the VR3350-002 RoHS and REACH compliant?
A: Yes. The VR3350-002 carries both RoHS and REACH environmental compliance certifications, making it suitable for government, healthcare, and EU-destined installations.
Q: What are the external dimensions of the VR3350-002?
A: External dimensions are 2000mm (H) x 800mm (W) x 1200mm (D). Confirm floor space and ceiling clearance — 2000mm height requires standard commercial ceiling clearance but may be tight in older data closets.
Q: What warranty does the VR3350-002 carry?
A: Vertiv provides a 3-year limited warranty on the VR3350-002.
Q: How heavy is the VR3350-002, and does it require a liftgate delivery?
A: The shipping weight is 313 lb. Sites without a loading dock should request liftgate service at time of order — this cabinet cannot be hand-unloaded from a standard freight trailer.
The VR3350-002 gets specified in high-density builds where the standard 1000mm-deep cabinet has already been ruled out — typically because the BOM includes 2U or 4U servers with 1000mm+ chassis depth, or because the design calls for vertical cable management that eats into usable depth. The 1200mm depth on this cabinet solves that without requiring a custom enclosure. What I check first on any rack this size: floor load rating. At 313 lb shipping weight empty, a fully populated VR3350-002 can easily push past 1,500 lb on a raised floor — confirm your floor rating before the cabinet arrives on site.
Technical Highlights:
- 2,253 lb Dynamic Load: That rating covers real-world vibration from spinning drives and cooling fans — not a theoretical dead-weight number. In a densely populated NVR or storage rack, dynamic rating is the one that matters.
- 800mm Width: Wider than a standard 600mm rack, which means genuine side cabling channels. On a build with 48-port patch panels and structured cabling runs, that extra 200mm of internal width is the difference between a clean installation and a cable nightmare at the rear rails.
- RoHS + REACH: Both certifications are present on the VR3350-002, which clears most government and EU procurement compliance requirements without additional documentation requests.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 2000mm tall, verify ceiling clearance AND overhead cable tray routing before finalizing floor placement — this cabinet clears standard 8-foot ceilings by less than 8 inches, which makes overhead tray entry tight in some IDF closets.
- Liftgate delivery is not optional at 313 lb shipping weight. If your site does not have a loading dock, specify liftgate at order time — freight carriers will not wait for you to source equipment after the truck arrives.
The VR3350-002 is the right call for a surveillance head-end room or network operations center where you need to rack high-density NVR storage, network switching, and a UPS in a single enclosed footprint — and where a 1000mm-deep cabinet has already been disqualified by the hardware BOM.
