Total Protection From The World’s Environments — Water tight rigid rackmount cases provide protection from moisture, salt spray, sand and dust throughout the world’s climate extremes. Impervious to fuels, oils and solvents, they can also be decontaminated if exposed to chemical warfare agents.

Broad Range Of Sizes — Standard rackmount case sizes are available from 3U-14U in rack height and front to back rack depths of 8.63”, 13.78”, 24.00” and 30.00”. Custom rackmount sizes can also be supplied.

Equipment Weight Range — 2000 Series 19-inch rigid racks are designed for equipment weights up to 120 pounds, but may be custom reinforced by ECS for equipment weights up to 200 pounds.

CEA-310-E Compliant Equipment Racks — 2000 Series cases have CEA compliant racks with equipment mounting holes on the front and rear vertical members. Two rackmount fastener types are available - Thread locking 10-32 clip nuts or stainless steel nut bars with 10-32 tapped holes.

Unrestricted Equipment Operation — Cases are stackable with covers installed or removed. With covers removed, electronic equipment is accessible front and back for ease of cabling and operation. Exterior stacking features can be provided with quick release hardware to secure one case on top of another.

Quick Cover Removal and Installation — 2000 Series rackmount cases have gasketed 6063 aluminum closures. They are available with two alternate latch styles – externally operated lever-action latches or ECS’ unique internally engaging rotary draw-pull latches. Both closure systems permit rapid removal and installation of covers while the cases are stacked.

Military Grade — 2000 Series rackmount cases exceed the requirements of military specifications for transportable cases. Performance verification testing to MIL-STD 810 is routinely performed at ECS Composites. Originally qualified in 1965 under the severe performance requirements of MIL-C-4150.

Extremely Durable FRP Thermoset Composites – Compression molded 65% glass fiber reinforced polyester case shells provide exceptional impact resistance and rugged durability at temperatures which exceed a range of -65º F to +185º F. Optional, premium priced, polyester/fiberglass composites can be compression molded by ECS to achieve super-light rackmount case weights.

Stainless Steel Hardware — Exterior latches and handles are stainless steel and recessed for maximum protection. Anodized aluminum extrusions prevent corrosion. An automatic air pressure relief valve protects the case and enclosed electronic equipment from rapid compression and decompression during transportation.

Colors and Options — FRP rackmount cases can be manufactured in most colors, including MIL-STD-595 colors. Numerous options and accessories are available. They include almost everything imaginable…from casters, slides, drawers, and work surfaces, to air conditioners, ventilation systems, and exterior plug receptacles. Conductive materials can even be molded into the composite case shells to provide EMI shielding in accordance with MIL-STD-461.
