How to Choose the Right Rack Case Size
Before requesting a quote, it helps to confirm your rack width, rack depth, rack height, and equipment weight. These details help determine the correct shockmount rack case configuration.
Rack Depth
Rack depth is measured from the front rail to the rear rail, helping ensure the case has enough room for your equipment, wiring, airflow, and service access.
Rack Height
Rack height is based on rack units. One rack unit, or 1U, equals 1.75 inches of vertical rack space.
Built to Your Specifications
Anvil rack cases are custom-built, so you are not limited to fixed stock sizes when your equipment requires a specific rack depth, height, or transport setup.
