Improved COMBIMET 19″ now offers greater rigidity and more usable panel space

METCASE is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its bestselling COMBIMET 19″ rack cases by launching a new, even stronger design.

COMBIMET is ideal for a wide range of rack applications including networking and communications, industrial computers, sound and studio systems, laboratory instruments and industrial control.

These advanced aluminum enclosures now feature new improved tabs that create stronger connections between the enclosure components – further increasing rigidity and robustness. COMBIMET also now has enlarged hidden apertures behind the front and rear panels – providing even more usable panel space for displays, controls, switches, connectors and ventilation.

Fifteen years of smart design have made COMBIMET the most versatile and also the most cost-effective 19″ rack case model in the METCASE range. Its removable top, base and rear panels offer easy access to the electronics. Both the top and base can be supplied ventilated or unventilated as standard. Inside, there are mounting holes for PCBs/chassis, along with M4 earth studs on all panels.

The COMBIMET range now offers 68 standard model/size/color permutations. They include open-top COMBIMET T, Super-deep (24″) cases for server racks, and the elegant Solid Top variant with wraparound cover (that has no visible fixing screws on the top). Cases are supplied fully assembled.

Standard heights range from 1U to 6U. There are three depths – 10.43″, 14.37″, 24.00″ – and two standard colors: light gray (RAL 7035) and black (RAL 9005). Custom colors are available on request.

Accessories include mounting plates, 19″ mounting kits, a PCB mounting kit and PCB/panel fixing screws.

METCASE can supply COMBIMET fully customized. Services include custom heights, widths and depths, custom front panels, CNC machining, fixings and inserts, painting and finishing, and photo-quality digital printing of legends, logos and graphics.
