Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and surface finish requirements against your enclosure system specifications before ordering. Confirm that the 6U by 16 HP dimensions align precisely with your chassis cutouts. Ensure compliance with local environmental regulations regarding RoHS certification. Check for any required accessories such as mounting hardware or labeling options that may not be included in the base unit package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a rigid, non-shielded front interface is required for 6U systems. The aluminum construction offers thermal dissipation benefits compared to plastic alternatives. Ensure the 16 HP width matches the internal module spacing of your target application. This part is suitable for general-purpose rack mounting where electromagnetic shielding is not a primary requirement for the front face.
