Product Overview

This 12U cabinet uses a double-section, hinged swing-frame design: instead of a fixed one-piece body, the equipment-carrying frame swings open on reversible hinges for full rear access to your cabling without unbolting a rear panel. It's designed so one person can install and work on it, with a lockable front glass door that's reversible and can be hung from either side.

Sized at 600mm wide × 635mm high (12U), with a stated depth of 600mm on this listing (our sourcing on this exact unit points to ≈550mm being more likely — see the Buyer Decision Tips below for what to confirm; note that genuine 600mm-deep 12U double-section cabinets do also exist elsewhere in the market, so this isn't as clear-cut as it is on our smaller Double Section sizes), it suits comms rooms and equipment racks with enough room for a proper stack of switching, patching, and power gear. This is a generic/unbranded cabinet rather than a major racking brand. Supplied through Total Security Equipment.

Key Capabilities

Swing-Open Rear Frame

The double-section hinged design lets the whole equipment frame swing open for full rear cable access.

19" Mounting Angles

Standard 19-inch mounting angles fit industry-standard rack-mount equipment.

Reversible Lockable Door

The front glass door locks with duplicate keys and can be re-hung to open from either side.

12U of Rack Space

Fits standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment up to 12U tall, with room for a fuller equipment stack.

Best For

Growing Comms Rooms

Room for switches, patch panels, a UPS, and extra kit as your setup grows past 9U.

Frequent Rear Cabling Access

Ideal where you'll be working behind the equipment often, without unbolting a rear panel each time.

Cable & Power Management

Cage nuts, earthing screws, and an optional cooling fan support tidier, safer installs.

Why Choose This Cabinet

If you'll be back inside this cabinet regularly for cable changes or troubleshooting, a fixed one-piece cabinet with a bolted rear panel gets old fast. This 12U double-section cabinet swings the whole equipment frame open for full rear access, in a lockable enclosure with enough capacity for a proper mid-to-larger equipment stack. Available from Total Security Equipment.

Buyer Decision Tips

Confirm the Exact Depth Before Ordering: This listing states a depth of 600mm. Our sourcing on this specific unit points to ≈550mm being more likely, though genuine 600mm-deep versions of this cabinet style also exist elsewhere in the market — so we can't rule either figure out without checking. Please confirm the exact measurement with our team before ordering, especially if you're fitting it into a tight space.
This Is a Generic/Unbranded Cabinet: Unlike our major networking and camera brands, this cabinet isn't tied to a single well-known racking manufacturer — it's a commonly-available cabinet design sold by multiple wholesalers. It's a solid option for the price, but if you specifically want a recognised racking brand, ask our team about branded alternatives.
Confirm Load Capacity Before Loading the Rack: A weight and maximum load rating aren't published for this exact cabinet, and comparable 12U double-section cabinets on the market show a wide spread — anywhere from around 30kg to around 60kg depending on the manufacturer. Please confirm the actual load capacity with our team before racking heavier equipment like a UPS.

FAQs

1. What does "double section" mean?
It refers to the cabinet's hinged, two-piece frame construction — a fixed base plus a swinging equipment-carrying frame — rather than a fixed one-piece body. This lets the whole loaded frame swing open for full rear cable access, rather than requiring you to unbolt a rear panel.

2. How is this different from the standard 12U Single Section cabinets?
Our Single Section 12U cabinets are fixed one-piece bodies with rear access only through a removable bolted panel. This Double Section version has a hinged swing-open frame instead, for easier repeated rear access, at a higher price point.

3. Can the door be mounted on either side?
Yes — the front glass door is reversible and can be re-hung to open from either the left or right, so you can set it up to suit your installation space.

4. What's the maximum weight this cabinet can hold?
This isn't published by the manufacturer, and comparable cabinets in the market range from around 30kg to around 60kg depending on the brand. Please ask our team to confirm the actual rating before mounting equipment.

5. Where can I buy this cabinet in Australia?
It's available directly from Total Security Equipment — confirm current stock and delivery timing with our team.
