Choosing a deeper 600mm network cabinet
A 600mm cabinet offers extra room for deeper networking equipment and cables. Before buying, check the device’s depth, how it must be supported and whether the wall can safely carry the fully loaded cabinet.
Check the practical equipment depth
A 600mm P Series cabinet has approximately 550mm of usable internal depth. We recommend planning around equipment up to about 500mm deep where practical, with room left for plugs, cable bends, rail adjustment and front-door clearance. Check your exact equipment dimensions and installation requirements.
Support heavier equipment properly
Deeper equipment may need rear support, fixed rails or a manufacturer-approved sliding-rail kit rather than hanging from its front mounting ears alone. Check the required rail spacing, mounting method and total load before ordering. Extra cabinet depth does not guarantee that every server or UPS rail system will fit.
Check the full wall load
Add the cabinet’s own weight, all installed equipment and any accessories. Our P Series equipment payload rating is not a guarantee that the wall or fixings are strong enough. Wall fixings are not supplied, so choose a suitable fixing method for the construction.

600mm Data Cabinets: Your Questions Answered
Practical answers on deeper equipment, rear support and rail kits, UPS installation, cable space and safe loading.
How deep should equipment normally be in a 600mm cabinet?
For a 600mm cabinet, we recommend equipment approximately 500mm deep or less where practical.
Usable internal depth is approximately 550mm. The approximate maximum physical equipment envelope is around 560mm, subject to rail position and required clearances.
Is equipment depth alone enough to decide whether a device will fit?
No. “Will it fit?” is really several questions disguised as one.
You also need to consider rack width and mounting format, equipment height, rail spacing, rear-support requirements, front projections, rear connectors, cable bends, equipment weight, ventilation and access for installation and maintenance.
A device can therefore be exactly the right depth and still be completely unsuitable.
This becomes particularly important with heavy or unusually deep equipment. A box may fit beautifully between the glass and rear opening while still needing support it doesn’t have, exceeding the rating of the shelf underneath it or moving the centre of mass somewhere adventurous.
The completed installation still has to fit, connect, remain supported, ventilate properly and behave itself once gravity is switched on.
Does every rack-mounted device need rear support as well as front mounting ears?
No. Plenty of lightweight, shallow rack equipment is designed to hang perfectly happily from its front mounting ears.
Heavier or deeper equipment is a different matter. Some devices require rear support brackets, fixed rails or sliding rails, and the manufacturer's mounting instructions should take precedence.
A shallow patch panel and a deep UPS may both be described as “rack mounted”, but mechanically they’re asking rather different things of the cabinet. Don’t assume the front ears are sufficient simply because the device can initially be persuaded to hang from them.
Where additional support is specified, use it.
Can equipment rails or sliding-rail kits use the adjustable rear profiles?
Potentially, yes.
The cabinets provide adjustable front and rear mounting profiles, but a particular rail kit must still be checked for its required front-to-rear spacing, mounting-hole arrangement, cabinet clearance and other installation requirements specified by the equipment manufacturer.
The presence of rear profiles does not guarantee compatibility with every proprietary server or UPS rail system.
Can I install a rack-mounted UPS in one of the deeper cabinets?
Yes, provided the particular UPS meets the cabinet's dimensional, load and mounting requirements.
Check the chassis depth, connectors, required front-to-rear rail spacing, equipment mass, ventilation requirements and any rear-support or rail system specified by the UPS manufacturer.
The cabinet's maximum equipment payload is 60kg, but this is a total cabinet payload and does not replace the mounting requirements of the UPS.
How much weight must the wall and its fixings actually support?
The whole lot.
If the cabinet weighs 20kg and you put 50kg of equipment inside it, the wall is supporting approximately 70kg. Describing the equipment as being within a 60kg cabinet rating doesn’t make the cabinet's own 20kg disappear.
And the cabinet rating tells you what the cabinet can carry. It doesn’t certify the brick, block, timber, plasterboard or whatever fixing system sits between the cabinet and the building.
Wall capacity and cabinet capacity are separate questions. Both need satisfactory answers.
