SHALLOW 19” RACK CASES OFFER SPACE-SAVING INSTALLATION AND OPTIMISED AIRFLOW

Shallow-depth rack cases are smaller and weigh less so they’re significantly easier to handle and install, an essential feature for applications where space inside the rack is at a premium.

Devices designed to operate in shallow-depth rack cases typically generate less heat compared with larger, more power-intensive equipment. This makes cooling less complex and more efficient. Where case ventilation is not available as standard, METCASE enclosures can be customised to feature vented panels and integrated fan options to ensure proper airflow.

This enhances reliability by preventing overheating in compact setups. These features are particularly advantageous for applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications or edge computing, where simplicity and energy efficiency are valued highly.

APPLICATIONS FOR SHALLOW 19” RACK CASES

Shallow-depth case applications in automation typically include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motor controllers and remote input/output (I/O) modules for data acquisition and control. For networking and communications, the cases are specified for switches, IoT/IIoT gateways and fibre-optic distribution units.

In test and measurement, shallow cases can be used to house data logging, signal generation or spectrum analysis devices. These cases are also specified for A/V and broadcasting applications such as digital signal processors, video switchers, stage lighting/digital multiplex (DMX) controllers, portable recording equipment and rack-mounted computers for editing and playback.

Shallow cases are also used to house medical imaging equipment (ultrasound or portable X-ray machines) and diagnostics instrumentation in laboratories or mobile healthcare units. They also find favour with the military for radar control units and communications relay systems in field deployments.

They’re often used in outside broadcast vans that require a compact yet robust housing for video switchers, recording equipment or communications systems. Meanwhile, the retail sector specifies shallow cases for point of sale and for driving digital signage displays.
