CIP42

Overview

The CIP42 is a full-height mounting profile manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for industrial floor-standing enclosures. Constructed from 14-gauge mild steel with zinc plating, it supports 19-inch equipment installation. The component measures 1.77 inches in width and 1.14 inches in depth, with an overall height of 82.76 inches (2000 mm). It is specifically engineered to fit 42U 2000 mm high cabinets, providing a standardized mounting interface for rack-mounted hardware within the CIP series enclosure system.

Feature Summary

• Provides standardized 19-inch mounting profile for industrial equipment
• Constructed from durable 14-gauge zinc-plated mild steel
• Designed as a full-height solution for 2000 mm floor-standing enclosures

Applications

• Installation of 19-inch rack-mounted equipment in industrial settings
• Assembly of 42U 2000 mm high floor-standing enclosures
• Integration into nVent HOFFMAN CIP series cabinet systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required quantity matches the standard packaging, which typically includes two rails per unit. Confirm compatibility with specific 2000 mm enclosure models before ordering. Ensure the zinc-plated mild steel material meets environmental requirements for the intended installation site. Check for any specific handling instructions due to the length and weight of the profiles.

Selection Notes

Select the CIP42 when retrofitting or building 42U enclosures requiring precise 19-inch alignment. It is suitable for environments where robust steel construction is preferred over aluminum. Consider the total weight capacity and spacing requirements of the mounted equipment to ensure the 14-gauge steel provides adequate structural support without deformation under load.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman CIP series, a line of industrial enclosure solutions. The CIP42 serves as a critical internal structural element, enabling the conversion of empty floor-standing cabinets into functional server or control racks. It complements other CIP accessories such as panels and mounting plates to create complete enclosure assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific Hoffman Enclosures component. Alternative mounting solutions may require custom fabrication or adaptation of different rail systems, potentially affecting equipment alignment and enclosure integrity.
