Choosing a rack for the job

The choice usually comes down to where the equipment lives and how the installer gets to the back of it. A swing gate rack opens outward so the rear panels can be reached, which helps when it sits inside a wall or millwork. A rotating slide rail system does a similar job in a cabinet. A designer rack suits a residential equipment room where the rack is on view, and a skeleton rack keeps an open frame for airflow and cable access. For headend work, where amplifiers, modulators and distribution gear share one frame, an 84″ equipment rack gives the most rack space in this category.

Count rack spaces for every component, shelf, power device and blank before choosing a size, and leave room for the next upgrade.
