19" rack strip


Yorkie

Recommended Posts

I find myself specifying a custom built cabinet, and having acquired some Penn R0863 Rack Strip to give to the cabinetmakers I'm struggling to decide on the precise width of the cabinet. I take it that 19" is the clear width the front panel requires? Various rack cases I have use different sorts of strips so the box widths that the strips are fitted to are different by up to 6 mm (where wider aluminium strip is used)

 

Does anyone here have a given box width they use for the R0863 (1.5mm steel) strip?

The spec is fixed, so I've always gone by these measurements - in particular, the face to face distance - which at 486mm has always worked for no matter what rack strip I have used.
