Vertiv VR3107-013 48U Open Frame Rack — 3000 lb Static Capacity, 1100mm Depth

Overview

The Vertiv VR3107-013 is a 48U open-frame steel rack built for high-density data center and network equipment deployments where load capacity and depth matter. Rated at 3,000 lb static and 2,500 lb dynamic, it handles fully loaded server, storage, and networking configurations without compromise. At 1,100mm deep and 89.2 inches tall, this frame accommodates deep 2U servers, large UPS units, and extended switching gear side-by-side in a single footprint. If you're provisioning a new row or expanding an existing data hall, the VR3107-013 (often searched as VR3107 013) gives you the structural headroom to grow without mid-cycle rack replacements.

Vertiv's VR rack line is designed for commercial and enterprise environments where structural integrity and long-term serviceability are non-negotiable. This unit ships at 217 lb and installs in standard raised-floor or concrete-slab configurations typical of open-frame server rack deployments.

Key Features

• 48U Usable Height (89.2 inches): Forty-eight rack units of usable vertical space gives you room to consolidate what would otherwise require two mid-size racks — fewer footprints, fewer PDU runs, and less horizontal cabling between enclosures. At 89.2 inches overall, it fits standard 9-foot raised-floor rooms without ceiling interference.
• 3,000 lb Static / 2,500 lb Dynamic Load Rating: The 3,000 lb static rating supports fully populated high-density server rows. The 2,500 lb dynamic rating means the frame handles load movement during live equipment installation — no need to depopulate before adding gear mid-project. That distinction matters on active production racks where downtime windows are tight.
• 1,100mm Usable Depth: At 43.3 inches deep, this rack accommodates extended-depth 1U and 2U servers (720–800mm chassis), dual-post cable management, and rear-mounted PDUs simultaneously. Shallow racks that force door removal or cable routing compromises are not a factor here.
• Steel Construction: The all-steel frame maintains structural integrity under uneven loads — common in mixed server/storage/networking configurations where weight is front-heavy. Steel also simplifies grounding continuity for bonded rack systems required in many data center standards.
• 23.6-inch Width (600mm): Standard 600mm width fits EIA-310 19-inch equipment and aligns with raised-floor tile grids. Compatible with standard rack accessories including side panels, blanking panels, and cable management arms from most major vendors.
• RoHS and REACH Compliance: Both RoHS and REACH certifications confirm the unit is free of restricted hazardous substances — a procurement requirement for EU deployments and increasingly expected in US federal and enterprise purchasing contracts.
• 357 lb Installed Weight: At 357 lb unloaded, floor load calculations must account for this base before equipment weight. For raised-floor environments, confirm tile and stringer ratings before placement — particularly in older data halls not built to modern 2,000+ lb-per-tile specs.

Integration & Compatibility

The VR3107-013 follows standard EIA-310 rack unit spacing, making it compatible with rack-mount equipment from virtually every major server, storage, and networking vendor. The 600mm width aligns with standard aisle containment systems and hot/cold aisle configurations. Open-frame construction allows unrestricted front-to-rear airflow, which pairs well with in-row or overhead cooling deployments without requiring active airflow management panels. For environments running structured rack PDU installations, vertical PDU channels on both rear posts accommodate 0U PDU mounting without consuming rack unit space.

The 1,100mm depth also supports rear-mounted patch panels and cable management, keeping structured cabling organized without front-of-rack congestion that would otherwise obscure airflow or complicate equipment access during maintenance windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the static load capacity of the VR3107-013?

A: The VR3107-013 is rated for 3,000 lb static load capacity and 2,500 lb dynamic load capacity.

Q: What are the overall dimensions of the VR3107-013?

A: The overall dimensions are 89.2 inches tall × 23.6 inches wide × 43.3 inches deep (approximately 2,265mm × 600mm × 1,100mm).

Q: What compliance certifications does the VR3107-013 carry?

A: The VR3107-013 carries RoHS and REACH compliance certifications, confirming it is manufactured without restricted hazardous substances. These are standard requirements for EU deployments and many enterprise procurement frameworks.

Q: What is the warranty on the VR3107-013?

Q: How much does the VR3107-013 weigh, and what is the shipping weight?

A: The VR3107-013 weighs 357 lb installed. The shipping weight is 217 lb, reflecting the knocked-down/packaged state for freight delivery.

Q: Is the VR3107-013 compatible with standard 19-inch rack equipment?

A: Yes. The VR3107-013 follows EIA-310 19-inch rack unit spacing standards and accepts standard rack-mount equipment at 600mm (23.6 inches) internal width, compatible with servers, switches, patch panels, and PDUs from all major vendors.

The spec that defines whether the VR3107-013 belongs in your data hall is the 3,000 lb static / 2,500 lb dynamic load rating — and it's not one to gloss over. High-density GPU server nodes, enterprise SAN arrays, and stacked switching gear can approach or exceed 1,500 lb per rack in fully populated configurations. This frame has the structural margin to handle that without engineering review flags or mid-lifecycle replacements when loads creep up.

Technical Highlights:

• 3,000 lb Static Load: Supports fully populated high-density configurations including blade chassis, dense storage arrays, and stacked core switching — without the load anxiety that comes with lower-rated commodity frames.
• 1,100mm Depth (43.3 inches): Accommodates extended-chassis servers (720–800mm body) plus rear-mounted 0U PDUs and cable management simultaneously — no forced tradeoffs between equipment depth and PDU placement.
• 48U Height at 89.2 inches: Full 48U gives integrators room to consolidate two standard 24U deployments into a single footprint, cutting floor tile consumption and simplifying power and cooling zone planning.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 357 lb unloaded, confirm raised-floor tile and stringer ratings before placement — older data halls with 1,500 lb-per-tile ratings will hit their floor load ceiling quickly once equipment weight is added to this base.
• Open-frame construction means no built-in EMI shielding — if your deployment is in a mixed RF environment or requires cage-level containment for compliance, plan for side panels or an enclosed variant instead.

The VR3107-013 is purpose-sized for enterprise co-location build-outs and on-premises high-density compute rows where load ratings are a real engineering constraint — not a checkbox. It's the right frame when the alternative is over-engineering two lighter racks to share a load this unit handles in one.
