Hammond RM5U1928VBK 5U x 28" Deep Vented Aluminum Rack Enclosure

The RM5U1928VBK is the 28.00 in (711 mm) deep, vented version of the 5U RM rack-mount aluminum instrument enclosure, 8.75 in (222 mm) high and 16.60 in (422 mm) wide. With perforated top and bottom panels over the longest 5U body in the series, it is a candidate for deep, heat-generating builds such as rack computers, power electronics and audio or RF equipment.

The all-aluminum construction uses extruded side panels 0.125 in (3.2 mm) thick, extruded front and rear panels 0.125 in (3.2 mm) thick and flat top and bottom panels 0.064 in (1.6 mm) thick. The finish is a rugged textured black powder coat, so panels are not grounded to the frame; the grounding method is to be determined by the customer.

Overall dimensions are 8.75 in (222 mm) high x 16.60 in (422 mm) wide x 28.00 in (711 mm) deep, occupying 5 rack units. With the included pair of 19 in rack mounting flanges fitted, the drawing shows an overall width of 482.61 mm [19.000 in], with ear holes on 466.10 mm [18.350 in] centres. The front and rear panels measure 415.30 mm [16.350 in] wide by 221.49 mm [8.720 in] high, and handle mounting holes are provided for the 1427P1BK pull handle, available separately. Its drawing shows vent holes of Ø4.50 mm [Ø0.177 in] on 7.94 mm [0.313 in] spacing. For 4-post racks, the RM5U18BRKT adjustable-depth rear bracket kit (sold in pairs, up to 16.00 in / 406 mm added) is listed for this model.

The knockdown design ships unassembled. Each assembly includes 2 interchangeable front and rear panels, 2 interchangeable top and bottom panels, 2 interchangeable side panels, 4 self-adhesive rubber feet for desktop use, assembly hardware including screws and speed nuts, and 1 pair of 19 in rack mounting flanges with hardware. It is RoHS and REACH compliant and manufactured in North America; it can be factory modified (milling, drilling, printing), and STEP or IGES models are available.
