Description
The Skydyne Company built this Patriot Removable 3U Rack Carbon Fiber Case to the U.S. Navy’s requirements. This and similar rackmount cases protect sensitive electronics including servers, switches, routers, and can be used to house audio/visual, industrial automation, broadcasting, and military equipment.
Using Carbon Fiber in a thermoset resin provides a high strength to weight ratio. Thermoset resins, as opposed to thermoplastic resins, do not soften with higher temperatures. Skydyne uses processes to incorporate molded in features, such as recessed dishes, stiffening ribs, and stacking feet. Skydyne also uses pigments and gel coats for molded in color.
This Carbon Fiber Rackmount Case includes recessed casters as well as black anodized aluminum, slip pin locking feet. These casters and feet allow the rack cases to be moved effortlessly and stacked safely.
The Patriot Removable 3U Rack Carbon Fiber Case includes a custom aluminum 3U rack. This 3U aluminum rack slides on elastomeric shock-isolated rails and has an easy-to-use locking mechanism which securely fastens the rack onto the isolated rails. Additionally, the cover and the base of this Carbon Fiber Rackmount Case can be removed, allowing the user access to both ends of the rack.
