Frequently Asked Questions
What is a co-location rack, and why would multiple tenants or departments need one?
A co-location rack is divided into independent compartments, each with separate locks and security. This allows different organisations or departments to share a single cabinet while maintaining isolated control over their equipment—ideal for colocation facilities and multi-tenant data centres.
How are the two 20U compartments separated and secured independently?
The SR42UBCL splits 42U vertically into two 20U sections, each with its own combo-locked locking doors. Each tenant controls access to only their compartment, preventing unauthorised access to shared infrastructure.
Can different tenants have different cooling or power requirements within one cabinet?
While sharing the same physical cabinet, each 20U compartment's equipment benefits from the cabinet's common cooling system. Power distribution is shared, so coordinate power budgets and cooling loads with co-tenants.
What is the advantage of a 42U co-location cabinet over two separate 21U cabinets?
A 42U co-location cabinet reduces floor space and power infrastructure costs compared to separate cabinets, while providing independent security and access control for each tenant's equipment.
How should power and network cabling be managed in a multi-tenant co-location setup?
Plan shared infrastructure (PDU, network backbone) to serve both compartments, but keep tenant-specific cabling isolated. Clear labelling and documentation prevent confusion and simplify troubleshooting.
Is this enclosure suitable for small businesses sharing data centre space with other tenants?
Yes, the co-location design is ideal for startups and small businesses that need secure, scalable data centre space without committing to a full cabinet per tenant.
What is the typical lead time for co-location enclosures in the UAE or GCC?
Lead times for specialised co-location cabinets vary based on availability. Contact Procure.ae to request a quote with your timeline and location.
Does Procure.ae assist with setting up multi-tenant co-location arrangements?
Procure.ae can help plan power budgeting, cooling allocation, and tenant access coordination. Contact us when requesting a quote to discuss your co-location setup and any on-site support needed.
What is the total 3000 lb capacity when divided between two tenants?
The 3000 lb total capacity should be allocated between the two 20U compartments based on each tenant's equipment weight. Verify loads don't exceed safe limits and confirm cooling capacity is adequate for combined heat output.
Are casters included, and can the co-location cabinet be repositioned once installed?
Yes, the SR42UBCL ships on heavy-duty casters for positioning and relocation. Contact Procure.ae to confirm caster type and whether brakes or leveling feet are pre-installed.
What warranty and support are available for co-location installations?
Co-location cabinets include standard Tripp Lite warranty. For multi-tenant setup support, access control coordination, and ongoing technical assistance, contact Procure.ae to discuss your warranty and service options.
