UCoustic™ 9210 Range of 19" Soundproof
Rackmount Cabinets with Thermostatic Cooling

• May eliminate the need for a dedicated server room.
• 100% portable – relocate where and when required.
• Allows more densely populated cabinets.
• 7.2KW heat dissipation – equivalent to the heat produced by seven, single-bar electric radiators.
• 28.5dB(A) noise reduction – up to five times quieter than your existing cabinet.

Noise and heat are the two by-products of rack-mounted servers and the ancillary equipment that network engineers constantly battle to ensure temperature levels in cabinets remain below manufacturers recommended levels and sound levels comply with occupational health and safety guidelines.

Noise control - why do you need it?

• To comply with occupational health and safety regulations and insurance guidelines
• A 5dB(A) reduction can cut the risk of hearing loss in half.
• Increased productivity – research shows prolonged exposure to noise creates stress, lowers moral and can lead to increased accidents and /or errors in the workplace.
• Noise is measured in decibels so when we claim 28.5dB(A) noise reduction, this is the amount of noise being removed from the sound source (your server room or office).
• Claims such as 90% noise reduction are a bit nebulous. A soundproof (or sound reducing) enclosure is going to remove a specified amount of noise (decibels) from the surrounding area, according to how it was designed and manufactured. Your sound reduction result is dependent on the amount of noise in the location you are trying to subdue.

The UCoustic 9210 range of 19-inch soundproof rack mount cabinets are the only commercially available network/IT cabinet in the world proven to deliver a sound reduction of 28.5dB(A) and a heat dissipation of 7.2KW.

To put this into non-technical terms, human conversation measured at a distance of three to five feet away ranges between 60 and 70dB(A). If the speaker increases their volume by just 10dB(A) the human ear will perceive this as a doubling in the noise level: an increase of 20dB(A) will be perceived as a quadrupling of the noise.

Our UCoustic 9210 network/IT cabinet range delivers a noise levels reduction equal to about five times less than that produced by your current rack mount equipment.

In an IT/Network context, the typical noise from two low form factory servers with an average CPU loads is 62dB(A): Four servers is 65dB(A): Eight servers, 68dB(A)*. With a UCoustic™ soundproof cabinet placed in an office environment – typically between 48dB(A) (average office without speech) and 78dB(A) (busy office with speech) – you will not be able to hear the sound from within the UCoustic™ Cabinet unless you had your ear pressed up against it.
