Cords for Custom Rack Enclosure Solutions

Stantron™ Racks, a division of
APWMayville™ and a leader in rack and enclosure solutions
for the broadcast and audio/visual industries, announces the
availability of IEC power cords for its robust range of Stantron™
custom rack solutions. The cords are available with all Stantron
racks, including the E Rack for broadcast facilities and the
Presentation Rack for A/V facilities; and a complete range
of Stantron accessories for power, lighting and cooling that
are designed to deliver complete, custom rack solutions to
professional integrators.
The company’s IEC (International Electric
Code) power cords are standardized to provide the proper prong
configuration for both U.S. and international voltages and
amperages. The cords make it virtually impossible to draw
more current than the corresponding wall outlet or power strip
circuit can provide, eliminating the risk of fires from overheated
wiring.
“This line of power cords offers a
practical and effective solution to cable management, cooling
and maintenance issues that all IT system managers face. Properly
sized IEC cords also save valuable time during installation
and maintenance. We are pleased to add this to our growing
range of rack and cabinet solutions,” said Rich Runnels,
Director of Sales for APWMayville™ and Stantron™
Racks. “Our IEC cords offer integrators and engineers
a very simple and cost-effective solution to commons data
system problems.”
The cords are available in a variety of
lengths so that installers can plug the necessary equipment
or appliances into their power source and eliminate the need
to manage excess cord within an enclosure. In a situation
where a customer needs to supply power to dozens of units
within an enclosure system, by using cords supplied with the
equipment, an installer could be faced with as much as 60
extra feet of unnecessary cable. The excess bulk would clutter
the area, making routine maintenance difficult. Proper air
flow and efforts to keep the equipment cool would also become
compromised, which could lead to heat buildup and possible
equipment failure.
Stantron IEC power cords work extremely
well when combined with the company’s PowerMount™
system to further simplify cable management. Stantron PowerMount
systems carry out the basic function of holding power strips
in place with several bonus features, including power strip
rotation (a full 180 degrees) within the rack. Angling the
power strips to correspond to the location of the equipment
inlets creates a straight line from the power to the equipment.
This keeps cables and wires out of the center of the enclosure
and reduces the risks of accidental disconnects, power interruptions
and data loss. Use of the system also improves overall airflow
and enhances equipment cooling since cabling is removed from
the air path. PowerMount systems can also scale easily as
power demands increase.
“The introduction of our IEC cords
means that our customers can count on Stantron for a complete
range of power and cabling accessories that include our PowerOptions
range of high quality power strips and our PowerMount system
with rackmount options that will lower their supply costs
prior to integration,” said Runnels. “The ability
to deal with a single supplier also means that our customers
will receive harmonious, technically superior rack systems
where everything fits together and works well.”
The company also offers a variety of lighting
and cooling options to complement its power and cabling accessories.
Its wide selection of LightingOptions products provide flexible,
repositionable and portable illumination for any situation,
including black or dark colored cabinets and cables that absorb
room lighting. Meanwhile, the company’s CoolingOptions
range allows users to strategically target heat-generating
equipment with a selection of fans and cooling equipment.
