19 inch rack cases: standard or custom-made
Depending on the complexity of your application, you can choose between a standard solution or a custom rack case.
Standard 19 inch racks
Our standard 19 inch rack cases are designed for common applications such as:
- Servers and IT infrastructure
- Network switches and patch panels
- Audio installations
- Measurement and control equipment
These cases are available quickly and provide essential protection against the daily challenges of technical installations.
Custom rack cases (bespoke solutions)
When your equipment must perform under extreme conditions, we offer custom racks that meet strict requirements. These cases can:
- Absorb shocks, vibrations and impacts (in accordance with military standards such as MIL-STD-810G)
- Protect against water, dust and extreme temperature fluctuations
- Support specific mounting depths and configurations
At DFB Cases, we develop racks that perfectly match your technical and logistical requirements. From modular systems to fully insulated or protected flightcases, your equipment deserves the best possible protection.
What is a 19 inch rack case?
A 19 inch rack case is a standardised enclosure with a width of 19 inches (482.6 mm), an international standard for mounting various types of equipment.
This size is used worldwide for:
- Audio equipment
- Amplifiers and processors
- Network switches and patch panels
- Servers and PC systems
- Measurement and control equipment
The height of the rack is modular and expressed in rack units (U). 1U equals 44.45 mm, allowing you to easily choose heights such as 4U, 8U or 12U.
Dimensions and customisation
While the 19 inch width is standard worldwide, the height and depth of a rack can vary significantly depending on the application. Key factors for a custom rack include:
- Height (e.g. 6U, 10U, 16U)
- Mounting depth
- Overall external dimensions
- Load capacity
- Material selection and finish
At DFB Cases, we do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions when your application requires more. We develop rack cases tailored specifically to your equipment and operating conditions.
Applications of 19 inch rack cases
