Eaton Tripp Lite Series SmartRack Colocation Kit for 42U Deep Rack Enclosures

Transform a standard 42U deep rack into a flexible, secure, dual-compartment colocation solution with the Eaton Tripp Lite SmartRack Colocation Kit. The SRCOLOKIT42UDP is engineered for data centers, enterprise rooms, and colocation facilities that demand efficient space utilization, enhanced security, and streamlined multi-tenant management. By converting a single large enclosure into two independent compartments, you gain the ability to host multiple tenants, workloads, or services within one physical rack footprint while preserving clear separation, easier access, and orderly cable routing. This kit is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing SmartRack environments, enabling faster deployment, reduced floor space, and improved serviceability without sacrificing reliability or performance.

• Dual-compartment design: Converts a single 42U deep rack into two independent, side-by-side compartments, enabling two different users or workloads to coexist within the same enclosure while maintaining separate access points and organized cable management.
• Effortless integration and compatibility: Specifically engineered to work with 42U deep rack enclosures in the SmartRack family, the SRCOLOKIT42UDP includes partition rails, mounting hardware, and all essential components needed for a clean, professional installation with minimal downtime.
• Enhanced security and controlled access: Each compartment can be individually configured with its own access controls, doors, or panels, allowing administrators to enforce tenant separation, enforce security policies, and reduce the risk of cross-tenant interference or tampering.
• Optimized airflow and cabling efficiency: Internal dividers help maintain dedicated airflow paths for each compartment, supporting efficient cooling and reducing hot spots. The kit includes cable management accessories that simplify routing, labeling, and retention for cleaner, more reliable cable layouts.
• Scalable, flexible solution for multi-tenant environments: Designed to adapt to evolving requirements, the colocation kit lets you reconfigure space, reallocate tenants, or expand capacity within a single enclosure, lowering total cost of ownership and supporting faster service delivery.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartRack Colocation Kit for 42U Deep Rack Enclosures

Begin by planning the dual-compartment configuration according to your facility's security policies, tenant needs, and cooling requirements. Remove any unnecessary hardware from the existing 42U enclosure and ensure the rack interior is clean and free of obstructions. Install the partition rails provided in the SRCOLOKIT42UDP to define the two compartments. Align and secure the rails with the supplied mounting hardware, taking care to level the partitions to ensure clean panel alignment. Attach any doors, panels, or front/rear access components as specified to establish clear, independent compartments. Route cables through the included management accessories, keeping power, data, and cooling cables separated per compartment to maximize airflow and minimize interference. Finally, re-seat equipment into the two newly defined spaces, label cabling for easy identification, and test access security, door alignment, and airflow performance to confirm everything functions as intended. If you need to reconfigure later, follow the same process, removing the partition rails and reassembling for the desired layout without compromising the enclosure's structural integrity.
