In today's digital age, data centers are the backbone of many businesses, and they rely heavily on the proper functioning of their IT infrastructure to ensure smooth operations. However, with the increasing frequency of cyberattacks, it's not enough to just have secure data networks. Physical security of the equipment is equally important to prevent unauthorized access and tampering. This is where the CABLExpress Rack Mount Security Enclosure (RMSE) comes in handy.

The CABLExpress RMSE is specifically designed to ensure maximum physical security for the equipment in your racks. It's ideal for use in highly secure data centers, shared spaces, co-location facilities, and other areas where physical security is critical. The RMSE's hinged mesh doors provide additional ventilation while ensuring maximum security for your equipment.

The RMSE is designed for use in open racks or partition cabinets where multiple tenants may have access. Its two-piece design allows for easy mounting, making it a breeze to install and set up with two people. The RMSE comes in various sizes, including 12U/10U usable, 8U/6U usable, 6U/4U usable, and 3U/1U usable space, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

One of the key features of the RMSE is its two-lock system on both the front and back doors. This provides the option for two people to be required to gain access to the enclosure, enhancing the security even further. The RMSE's access doors have bends, and a piano hinge on the bottom of the door, making it almost impossible to tamper with. Additionally, the RMSE's 3-point primary lock provides an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized access.

Cable management is crucial in any data center, and the RMSE takes care of that too. It comes with multiple knock-out options and rear brush grommets for easy cable management, ensuring your fiber optic cables are organized and easily accessible. This cable management feature reduces the risk of cable damage, improves airflow, and makes troubleshooting and maintenance easier.

In conclusion, the CABLExpress Rack Mount Security Enclosure is an excellent choice for anyone looking for maximum physical security for their data center equipment. Its two-lock system, sturdy design, and cable management features make it an indispensable component in any highly secure data center environment. With various sizes available, you can choose the one that best suits your specific requirements.
