Acoustic Server Racks

SoundProof Cabinets

SoundProof Cabinets (also known as acoustic server cabinets) are 19” rack enclosures designed to reduce audible noise from IT equipment while keeping servers, switches, and UPS units secure in public or work areas.

19" rack 12U–42U Up to 400 kg Quiet fan modules Glass or wooden door Office-grade use

When a server room is not possible, SoundProof Cabinets help reduce noise in shared environments without exposing equipment to unauthorized access.


Where SoundProof Cabinets are used

  • Offices and open workspaces
  • Hospitals and clinics
  • Banks and branch offices
  • Retail stores and back offices
  • Reception areas and hallways

How SoundProof Cabinets reduce noise

Acoustic lining & seals

  • Acoustic lining absorbs and dampens sound inside the enclosure
  • Sealed panels and doors limit noise leakage
  • Mass + structure reduces cabinet vibration transfer

Note: Actual noise reduction depends on your equipment fan curve, load and installation. For documented results, request measurements based on your setup.

Practical expectation

  • Best results when equipment fans run at lower RPM (efficient cooling path)
  • Keep intake/exhaust paths clear inside the rack
  • Use proper cable routing to avoid blocking airflow channels

Cooling & ventilation

SoundProof Cabinets balance noise reduction with thermal management. Quiet ventilation modules remove heat while keeping acoustic performance high. Proper airflow is essential to prevent heat buildup in an acoustic server cabinet.

  • 1 or 2 fan modules with digital thermostat
  • Fan module noise level: approx. 29–30 dB (fan module only)
  • Recommended operating range: 0°C to +40°C
  • Recommended heat load: up to 1.5–2 kW (configuration dependent)

How to select & deploy SoundProof Cabinets

  1. Select rack height (U): calculate equipment RU + spare capacity for growth.
  2. Confirm depth: match deepest server + cable bend radius + airflow clearance.
  3. Estimate heat load: total equipment power (kW) to size fan modules properly.
  4. Door preference: glass for visibility, wood for premium office aesthetics.
  5. Security needs: for public areas, apply cabinet security guidance and access control.
  6. Commissioning: verify airflow path, thermostat settings, and door sealing.

FAQ

How much noise reduction can I expect?

It depends on your equipment fan speed, heat load, cabinet sealing, and installation. For projects requiring documented results, request measurements based on your equipment list.

Will an acoustic cabinet overheat my servers?

Not if ventilation is sized correctly. Provide estimated heat load and ambient conditions so the right fan module configuration can be selected.

Do I need a soundproof cabinet or a standard server rack?

If the cabinet is placed in offices, reception areas, or public corridors, a soundproof cabinet helps reduce audible noise. If you have a dedicated server room, a standard server rack is usually enough.

Is this an outdoor solution?

No. These are indoor cabinets (IP20 reference). For outdoor installations, use an IP-rated outdoor cabinet series.
