Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48U SmartRack Deep and Wide Rack Enclosure Cabinet with doors & side panels

Designed for high-density deployments, the SR48UBDPWD Eaton Tripp Lite SmartRack enclosure combines security, flexibility, and scalable capacity in a deep and wide footprint. At 48U and 1200 mm (48") of depth, this cabinet is purpose-built for dense server, storage, and networking configurations, delivering generous interior space for power distribution, cable management, and airflow. With doors and side panels included, it provides a secure, service-friendly enclosure that can flex to evolving data center needs while maintaining clean, organized racks and optimal thermal performance.

Whether you are provisioning a new data center rack row or expanding an existing cabinet lineup, the SR48UBDPWD stands out for its combination of capacity and accessibility. The added depth not only accommodates large front-dedicated equipment but also creates a dedicated rear area for cable management and PDU routing, reducing front-end congestion and improving cable organization. The wide interior footprint enhances ease of installation and maintenance, enabling technicians to work with less constraint and to route cables with predictable bends and clearances. This translates into faster deployment of gear, simpler upgrades, and improved airflow—factors that directly influence equipment reliability and data center efficiency. In short, it’s a rugged, future-ready enclosure that scales with your IT infrastructure while maintaining a clean, secure, and accessible environment for your critical hardware.

• Deep, high-density design: The 1200 mm (48") depth provides substantial space for dense server, storage, and networking builds, with ample room to position the cable management backplane and power distribution without crowding the front of the enclosure.
• 48U of mounting capacity: A full 48U frame delivers abundant vertical space for a mix of 19" devices, supported by adjustable mounting rails to accommodate varying equipment depths and rail spacing requirements.
• Wide footprint for airflow and access: Expanded interior width improves cable routing, simplifies component installation, and enhances airflow paths, contributing to better thermal performance and easier upgrades.
• Security you can trust: Locking doors and removable side panels provide physical security for equipment, while enabling quick access for maintenance and upgrades when required.
• Versatile cable management and ventilation: Integrated rear cable management, cable entry knockouts, and ventilated panels support clean cabling, organized power and data paths, and efficient air movement around hot spots.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite SR48UBDPWD

• Plan your layout in advance by measuring available floor space, ensuring proper clearance for door operation and service access.
• Unpack the enclosure carefully and inspect for any transit damage; verify all parts are included, such as mounting rails and side panels.
• Install the adjustable 19" mounting rails at the desired height inside the cabinet, using a level to ensure straight rails for secure rack-mounting.
• Mount your 19" equipment to the rails, starting with heavier devices lower in the rack to optimize stability; secure devices with the provided screws and hardware.
• Route cables through the rear openings and into the rear cable management system, keeping power and data paths separated where possible to enhance airflow and ease maintenance.
• Close and secure the back door (if applicable), slide in the removable side panels, and fasten all locking mechanisms to ensure security and serviceability.
• Connect PDUs and grounding provisions; verify that the enclosure is grounded and power distribution is configured to support your devices.
• Perform a functional check, power on equipment, monitor for proper airflow, and adjust cable management as needed to eliminate cable strain or obstruction.

Frequently asked questions
