Safety and heat dissipation? Detailed explanation of the protection design of wall-mounted cabinets

1. Safety protection design of wall-mounted cabinets

• Structural stability: prevent falling and vibration

High-strength material: high-quality cabinets are made of cold-rolled steel plates or aluminum alloys to ensure load-bearing capacity.

Lock protection: standard key lock or electronic lock to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing the equipment, suitable for sensitive scenarios such as security and finance.

• Cable management: avoid clutter and safety hazards

Wire trough design: hidden wiring trough or wire binding hole to reduce cable exposure and reduce the risk of tripping.

2. Heat dissipation optimization: avoid equipment overheating and shutdown

• Passive heat dissipation design

Ventilation hole layout: honeycomb ventilation holes are designed on the top, bottom or side panels to form natural convection heat dissipation.

Open structure: some cabinets use front mesh door + rear mesh door design to improve air circulation efficiency.

• Active heat dissipation solution

Fan module expansion: support the installation of cabinet-specific cooling fans (such as 40mm/80mm fans) for forced exhaust and cooling.

Temperature control system integration: high-end cabinets can be equipped with temperature and humidity sensors to link fan start and stop, save energy and reduce noise.

4.How do wall-mounted cabinets free up floor space?

Spatial advantages of wall-mounted cabinets

(1) Vertical utilization, say goodbye to crowded floors

Traditional floor-standing cabinets occupy floor space (usually 0.5-1㎡), while wall-mounted cabinets are directly installed on the wall or the side of the rack, achieving "zero floor space occupation".

Suitable for scenarios with small space: such as office weak current rooms, corridor wiring areas, shopping mall monitoring rooms, etc.

(2) Flexible adaptation to non-standard environments

Can be installed on columns, walls or even under the ceiling, solving the deployment problem of irregular spaces (such as curved walls and corners).

Example: Surveillance equipment in retail stores often needs to be hidden, and wall-mounted cabinets can be embedded in the ceiling or back wall to maintain beauty.

Typical application scenarios

(1) Corporate office

Problem: The weak current room in the office area has limited area, and switches, optical modems and other equipment need to be deployed, but floor-mounted cabinets block the aisle.

Solution: Use wall-mounted cabinets to "hang" network equipment on the wall, and only keep necessary cables on the ground.

(2) Smart Buildings

Problem: Building automation systems (such as air conditioners and lighting controllers) are scattered in the power distribution shafts on each floor, which are difficult to accommodate in traditional cabinets.

Solution: Install thin and light wall-mounted cabinets on each floor to centrally manage local equipment.

(3) Edge computing nodes

Problem: Edge servers need to be deployed nearby in scenarios such as factories and warehouses, but the ground space is occupied by production lines.

Solution: Shock-proof wall-mounted cabinets (with shock-absorbing brackets) are fixed to the wall or steel column to carry small servers.

Deployment key points: How to safely free up space?

(1) Wall load-bearing assessment

Light equipment (switches, routers): ordinary brick walls/gypsum board walls (reinforcement required).

Heavy equipment: must be fixed on concrete walls or steel structures, and support frames can be installed if necessary.

(2) Cable management optimization

Hidden wiring: Use the cable entry hole at the bottom of the cabinet + wall cable trough to avoid cluttered cables on the ground.

Modular design: Choose cabinets with cable management rings to simplify later maintenance.

(3) Heat dissipation and maintenance channel

Reserve heat dissipation space: The distance between the cabinet and the wall is ≥10cm to ensure air circulation.

Tool-free disassembly: The front door quick-release design facilitates equipment maintenance without occupying additional floor area.
