0198mc Lightweight composite cases

The Val-An 900 Series of 19-inch rack mount cases are made from strong, lightweight composite materials. Each case is designed to be used either independently or stacked, allowing the user to set up a "cabinet-type" system in the field. Stacking latches can also be employed. Common 19-inch panels with standard EIA hole patterns can be mounted, and the internal chassis can be shock mounted. ZERO Enclosures, 500 West 200 North, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. 800-845-6201.
