Plug & Play time with new 19-inch fastener

The time-consuming business of assembling and positioning of components in IT racks is now said to be a thing of the past.

Components can be quickly and easily installed on, or removed from, the 482.6 mm (19") mounting level of racks with Rittal’s new fastener, the company states.

Following the ‘plug and play’ principle, the 19-inch fastener is simply slid onto the rail from the inside and then locked. At the same time, the integrated contacting ensures the potential equalisation needed. “Integrating three captive nuts within the mounting profiles in just one click saves time – and nerves”, says Clive Partridge, product manager IT Infrastructure at Rittal.

The fastener has robust construction, ensuring it can be repeatedly dismantled and reused, and can be employed with every enclosure in the Rittal product range straight away, states the company. It is available as a pre-assembled 1U support with three captive nuts, including centre attachment, to standard EIA 310.
