Available in 3U, 4U, 6U and 9U heights and depths of 322, 422, 522 and 622mm, the Diplomat is equally suitable for use during system development and as a housing for production status units. The caseframes provides direct mounting for Eurocard format PCBs in an easily configurable subrack system; the cases accept any standard 19" component. With power densities steadily increasing, effective ventilation is of paramount importance. All horizontal versions can be fitted with an optional 38mm deep filtered ventilation plinth that replaces the standard base cover, allowing cool air to be drawn into the unit from below. The ventilation plinth increases air throughput and provides a uniform airflow across the full width of the unit. The cool air is drawn into the unit through a removable filter in the plinth, and is then directed through the active board area by a rear duct plate that blanks off the space behind circuit boards. The cool air travels vertically upwards through the system area before leaving the enclosure via the top of the rear panel. Optional extras include a range of transparent front doors, formed from strong, shatterproof tinted acrylic. The "U" section lockable doors can be vertically or horizontally hinged and incorporate coloured styling trims. Also available are rear bump down feet, a heavy-duty carry handle, telescopic slides for subrack/chassis mounting in the 19" case versions and carpet gliders for the tower versions. *** Ends: body copy 257 words *** Notes to editors.
