The Soundproof Cabinet range from Black Box provides all advantages of a well-equipped server room, but takes less than a square metre in footprint of your valuable office space. The investment in a soundproof cabinet pays off quickly ensuring a safe, secure, well-tempered and resilient home for your servers and other IT-equipment including USPs, switches and routers. Even better, their appealing design fits in any area including offices, receptions, hallways, cupboards etc., without concern for noise pollution of employees and customers.
The soundproof enclosures have been successfully tested by MIRA Test Laboratories (Sound Power Measurement in accordance with ISO3744) and are fully compatible with all the leading server brands including the full range of blade servers available.
31dBA IT noise reduction
Typical office environments tend to have noise levels of between 48dBA for a quiet office and 78dBA for a noisy office. A human whisper is around 23dBA. The Black Box Soundproof Cabinets remove up to 31,5 dBA (99,9%) of IT noise — quiet enough to be unheard in a normal office environment.
12kW heat dissipation
Servers, switches and equal IT-equipment is expensive. A temperature controlled environment is an important factor to ensure o long-lifetime of these devices. The smart cooling design of the Soundproof Cabinets can dissipate up to 12kW of heat in a 42U cabinet size.
Configuration with active and passive cooling
The soundproof cabinets are available with either active cooling or passive cooling configurations. Cabinets with
passive cooling rely on the fans of the IT devices itself to draw ambient air from the front of the cabinet, where it flows over the equipment, and is expelled at the rear. Passive cooling allows up to 2,75kW of heat removal – suitable for devices such as network switches and UPS with a cumulative power consumption of 1.700 watts.
Cabinets with
active cooling are ideal for servers, blade servers, or other IT devices with a total heat output at or above of 1700 watts. They feature variable speed fans on the rear doors to deal with these increased heat loads in an energy efficient way.
Integrated Environmental Monitoring
The cabinets feature a build-in graphical user interface for environmental monitoring that can be accessed via web browser. It can provide real time status for temperature, fan speeds, power, security and more, send alerts and configurable reports.
Cabinet design
The soundproof cabinets are available in three heights: 12U, 24U and 42U. All are 780mm wide and 1100mm deep, perfect suitable for active network equipment, servers and blade servers alike. For enterprise high speed servers with a larger depth, choose the retro-fittable Extra Depth Server Extension Kit giving you 200mm additional depth without comprising the cabinet performance. All cabinets are shipped with load bearing castors, to move them easily upon delivery or during cabinets relocations.
The cabinets come complete with an acoustic foam cladding to the sides and doors, which is tested for flammability to the following standards: FMVSS 302 — Pass. UI94: V0, HF1 ISO 9001 Accreditation. All the foam cladding is easily removed and heat management can be added by using the quick fit blanking panels, which add a further 0.5dBA of noise attenuation. Air flow is designed into the cabinet, with cold air being drawn into the front of the cabinets, and the hot air exhausted through the rear of the cabinets. All doors and panels can be easily removed while maintaining IT equipment.
The cabinets feature six cable entry points (three to the top and three to the bottom). They are specially designed to retain soundproof integrity and IP ranking featuring. Cable trunking pair and cable managers are also available for a smart cable management. Fully adjustable 19” rails at the front and the rear give allow convenient mounting of your IT equipment. A
Accessories
As a further option, dust ingress protection is available through the use of dust filters. Each cabinet can also be optionally installed into the universal plinth. For harsh environment, the soundproof cabinets can be upgraded with an IP54-protected housing that remains full attenuation and heat dissipation capabilities. A range of shelves and cable management tools is also available. Finally, to complete the installation, earth bonding kits are available for both the passive and active ranges of cabinets.
