Secure, protected, and organised equipment. One network infrastructure.
A network cabinet is an ideal solution for centralising network infrastructure for efficient operation and long-term reliability in many environments. It is a secure location for:
- Data switches
- Patch panels
- Fibre termination pointsÂ
- Routers and firewalls
- CCTV NVR equipment
What is a network cabinet?
A network cabinet (also known as a data rack or comms cabinet) is an enclosure designed to house IT and telecoms equipment. This enclosure is designed to keep equipment locked and restricted from unauthorised access; protected from damage; and organised with clean, labelled, and structured cable management.
These cabinets also provide improved airflow and cooling for equipment that is frequently in use and may be at risk of overheating. Cabinets also allow for better maintenance and fault finding than infrastructure that isn’t contained. Without a cabinet, network equipment can easily become disorganised, vulnerable, and harder to manage.

Is a network cabinet secure?
If required, our team can design a cabinet that is lockable to restrict unauthorised access to network equipment. This is especially important in shared office spaces and public buildings where there’s a high volume of equipment that is crucial to efficient business operations.
Can you install a cabinet in an existing building?
Yes, we can supply appropriately sized network cabinets and install them in existing offices, warehouses, schools, and commercial premises. We ensure minimal disruption and seamlessly integrate the cabinet within your current structured cabling or fibre network.
What size network cabinet do I need?
The size of your cabinet depends on a few factors:
- Number of switches and patch panelsÂ
- Fibre termination requirementsÂ
- Any CCTV or server equipment
- Future growth plans
We typically assess your current infrastructure and expected expansion during our site survey before recommending sizes and either wall-mounted or floor-standing options. Contact our team today to discuss your requirements.
Should I have a wall-mounted or floor-standing cabinet?
Our team can provide either type of cabinet to suit your equipment and business needs.
Wall-mounted network cabinets are ideal for smaller network infrastructure and environments with limited space, such as small offices or retail units. Floor-standing cabinets are much more suitable for larger networks and infrastructures with a higher density of equipment, as well as comms rooms and sites requiring multiple switches and fibre panels.
Contact our team today if you’d like to discuss your cabinet requirements and your options.
