Each MDC incorporates casters for simplified deployment and can be easily expanded by purchasing Panduit accessory kits. All metal components within the cabinet are single-point bonded to ensure effective equipment operation. A dynamically rated MDC is available to support IT equipment under typical shipping conditions. This is ideal for system integrators or value-added resellers (VARs), as it allows equipment to be pre-installed, wired, and ready for rapid deployment. The heavy-duty, frame-reinforced enclosure and shock pallet have been verified and approved to support the additional weight of the equipment, and a reusable ramp allows the cabinet to be easily unloaded from the pallet. All MDCs comply with EIA-310-E, TIA/EIA-942, and UL2416 specifications.
According to Tim Houghton, Product Line Manager at Panduit: "Today's businesses are transitioning to factory networks that connect to enterprise networks, with data collection and storage being very important factors. Our preconfigured MDCs are designed and validated to facilitate a robust physical deployment of best-in-class network architectures such as CPwE (Converged Plant-wide Ethernet).".
