Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Colocation Kit for 48U Rack Enclosures

The SRCOLOKIT48U transforms a standard 48U single‑compartment SmartRack into a secure, dual‑tenant colocation solution. By creating two distinct, independently accessible spaces, this kit enables two users to securely share a single 48U rack while keeping their equipment, cables, and configurations separate. A durable divider panel is included to clearly delineate the spaces, and each side benefits from its own locking mechanism, delivering enhanced security and control for multi‑tenant data center deployments, colocation facilities, or shared IT environments.

• Dual‑compartment layout: Converts a single 48U rack into two distinct, 23U‑plus spaces, enabling two different tenants to place equipment with clear separation and easy access.
• Divider panel included: A robust divider creates clean, easy‑to‑manage boundaries between shared and dedicated spaces, helping to organize cables and equipment for each tenant.
• Independent locking for each compartment: Each side has its own locking system, so owners can securely restrict access to their equipment without impacting the other tenant's space.
• Secure access with redesigned doors: The kit replaces standard doors with independently lockable access points for each compartment, enhancing control, accountability, and physical security.
• Easy integration with existing SmartRack systems: Designed to fit 48U SmartRack enclosures, the SRCOLOKIT48U preserves compatibility with standard 19‑inch equipment mounts and existing rails, helping you maximize rack utilization without a full redesign.
