FAQ

W Line cabinet vs floor standing rack: which one should I choose?

A wall mount rack cabinet saves floor space and is preferred for compact installations. Floor standing racks are used when higher U capacity, heavier loads, or frequent rear access is needed.

Does W-Line support active cooling?

Yes. The top cover supports fan installation (optional fan module). For many indoor deployments, passive airflow is enough if cabling does not block vents and heat load is moderate.

Is W-Line suitable for outdoor use?

No. W-Line is designed for indoor installations (IP20). For outdoor environments, use an IP-rated outdoor cabinet series.
