Bonus Aluminum Bottle Opener Key

Removable Power and Fan Module
The NS282416VFA1R2C-R8U features a removable power and fan module that attaches to the bottom of the enclosure. Constructed of rugged aluminum, this can be easily removed for servicing and is fully gasketed to ensure a proper seal. This power module features a single pre-wired duplex 120VAC power outlet (2 outlets total) and a pre-wired 5 foot power cord, so no additional wiring is required.

For applications that require additional power outlets, the NS282416VFA1C-R8U features two pre-wired duplex power outlets (4 outlets total).

Dual Cooling Fans Ventilation
This enclosure features dual 3" vents and dual thermostat controlled cooling fans. The low noise, high airflow fans helps maintain lower internal temperatures by allowing air to be either pushed or pulled through the enclosure. The fans turns on when the internal temperature reaches 100°F (38°C) and turns off when it drops to 79°F (26°C). Both fans are wired internally so it does not require the use of the AC outlets leaving them available for internal equipment use.

This enclosure is also available with a lower fan turn-on temperature of 85°F (30°C). See NS282416VFA1R2C-85-R8U.

It is designed to accommodate a wide range of equipment such as network switches, rack mount audio/video equipment and most other rack mountable equipment. Featuring heavy duty powder coated 15 gauge steel construction, the vented design of this 8U rack frame ensures maximum air flow around installed equipment. The rack frame mounts to a 18 Gauge (1.2mm thick) galvanized steel plate which can also be drilled and modified by the installer to unique site requirements.
