Telecommunications equipment

Order in a server room is not aesthetics but recovery speed. When leads are unlabelled, finding the right one during an outage takes longer than replacing the equipment itself.

What the work includes

The cabinet is sized for a specific hardware list and for how it will grow over the coming years.

Discuss the scope

Size

Height with room to grow, depth for the longest device, the type of doors.

Fixings

Shelves for devices without rack ears, rails for servers, screw kits.

The cabling

Patch panels, cable managers, labels at both ends of every lead.

Power

Power strips with the number of sockets required, with consumption metering if wanted.

Temperature

Ventilation modules, and where the cabinet is densely packed, a split system in the room.

Access

Earthing, lockable doors and, if needed, an opening sensor.

How it goes

A week for delivery and installation. It takes longer if the room has to be prepared from scratch.

01

Inventory

We compile a hardware list with dimensions, weights and power draw.

02

Selection

Cabinet, fixings, power strips, ventilation.

03

Build

We assemble, install, route and label the cables.

04

Relocation

We move working equipment, aiming to fit inside a short window.

Labelled cables are the most underrated thing in a server room. Half an hour of work at installation saves hours at every later outage. Without labels an engineer pulls the leads one by one and watches what goes dark - during working hours that is an expensive pastime.

Questions and answers

You can, provided air reaches it and the temperature stays below twenty-eight degrees. A sealed cubbyhole with no ventilation turns into an oven in summer, and the equipment starts shutting itself down on exactly the hottest days.

With ten ports you can manage without. Beyond that, the cables from the workstations run straight into the switch, and any staff move turns into rewiring. A panel separates the permanent part from the changeable one.

Yes. Without it static and interference hit the equipment ports, and if there is an electrical fault the cabinet frame can become live. It is also a safety requirement, not a wish of the engineers.

We will put the server room in order

Write what needs housing and in which room. We will cost the cabinet, the power and the ventilation.
