This component serves as a structural element within modular rack systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides shielding via integrated textile gasket
• Designed for 3 U vertical space allocation
• Compatible with ratiopacPRO frame structures

Applications

• Modular electronics cabinet assembly
• Rack-mounted equipment housing
• Shielded subrack construction

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number 24813242 against official nVent SCHROFF documentation to ensure compatibility with existing ratiopacPRO frames. Confirm that the textile gasket specification meets environmental sealing requirements. Check dimensional constraints against the installation site. Ensure the 3 U height fits within the designated rack slot without obstruction.

Selection Notes

Select this unit when a shielded 3 U front panel is required for ratiopacPRO systems. The textile gasket indicates a need for EMI/RFI mitigation rather than liquid-tight sealing. Verify that the 315.50 mm x 448.90 mm footprint aligns with the specific chassis design. Consider maintenance access needs when choosing front-panel configurations.
