Those good old days, when local networks were just beginning to take over the world and somehow managed without server equipment, are long gone.
The power and volume of work entrusted to modern networks has increased from hundreds, if not thousands of times, and only a specially prepared device - a server, equipped with active server equipment: routers, switches, patch panels - can cope with such a flow of processed information.
Telecommunication cabinets
As a rule, all this server economy is concentrated in one place, which is called the server room. To concentrate equipment in one place, in order to obtain free and convenient access to it, use a server cabinet or 19-inch server racks .
Server cabinets are a very important element of a LAN, where all the subtleties and nuances that appear during the operation of the network are thought out. Cabinets are typically 19 "wide.
Cabinets are equipped with a system of protection against unauthorized access, equipped with locks and can have an alarm system that reacts to opening, a ventilation system can be installed on them. Cabinets can be of various specializations, floor-mounted or wall-mounted.
Floor-standing cabinets are attached directly to the server room with special fastening bolts, while wall-mounted cabinets can be fixed in any convenient place on the wall. Transparent cabinet doors allow you to control the network operation process without opening it and quickly identify a disconnected workstation.
