Key Takeaways
- Reduced Noise: UCoustic 9210 cabinets dampen IT equipment noise by up to 28.5 dBA, creating a quieter work environment.
- Versatility: Available in active and passive configurations, and three heights, to suit various needs.
- Durability: Built with soundproof doors, cable entry points, and load-bearing castors for functionality and longevity.
Q: Are you looking for a way to reduce noise from your IT equipment?
A: UCoustic 9210 soundproof cabinets are designed to significantly reduce noise generated by IT equipment, creating a quieter and more pleasant work environment. They achieve noise reduction of up to 28.5 dBA and are available in active and passive configurations, and three heights, to meet your specific needs.
Soundproofed cabinets are highly efficient for all office environments, so USystems have designed and produced a varied range. These are ideal for any working environment where noise from active IT equipment is distracting or invasive. This can have the added benefit of saving space and capital expenditure as there is no need to build a dedicated comms or server room.
UCoustic High-Performance Soundproof Cabinets
Keeping IT quiet and cool
The UCoustic 9210 soundproof enclosure is available in active or passive configuration and three heights – 12U, 24U and 42U; all are 780 mm wide and 1100 mm deep. Active cabinets have two centrifugal fans in the rear doors to deal with higher heat loads – to ensure maximum energy efficiency. They are fitted with variable fan speed controls and temperature sensors. Passive cabinets utilise the IT equipment fans to draw ambient air from the front. Then, they rely upon the temperature differential between the cabinet IT equipment space and the room ambient temperature.
Key features
- Wardrobe style front and rear doors on active and passive cabinets
- Active rear doors contain one centrifugal fan in each door; each fan has a speed controller and temperature sensor.
- Fully adjustable 19” mounting angles fitted front and rear
- Soundproof cable entry system
- Six cable entry points via removable gland plates, three at the top and three at the bottom.
- Load bearing castors
- For maintaining the IT equipment, all doors and panels are easy to remove and refit
- Cabinets are finished in USpace Black with Montana Blue highlights
What You Hear
The sound of IT equipment emanating from a UCoustic data cabinet is significantly quieter – by 28.5 dBA – than from a normal server cabinet, which no other soundproofed cabinet can match.
9210 Executive cabinets
Signature UCoustic cabinets for boardroom and office
The Executive cabinet comprises the same specification as the standard 9210 UCoustic with the additional option of a real wood finish to blend elegantly with other office furniture – without compromising decibel attenuation, psychoacoustics, thermal performance or cabinet strength.
Proof Of Quietness
The UCoustic cabinets are quieter than other soundproof cabinets due to their superior design.
To achieve this, heavy investments in research and development and the best, most effective acoustic materials were necessary. Also looking at what makes the noise in a cabinet, how it escapes, where it escapes from and what type of noise it is, was key in product development. Consequently, by thoroughly understanding all these factors were engineers able to design and construct a class-leading soundproof cabinet.
The type of sound – known as psychoacoustics – is as important as sound reduction, for it is concerned with the perception of sound. Just because the noise level has been reduced, it doesn’t mean that the ‘new’ noise is pleasant on the ear. The design of the UCoustic cabinet eliminates offensive frequencies, ensuring that the noise you hear is as pleasant as possible.
Independently tested by MIRA
To prove the claims, the UCoustic was independently tested by MIRA, the UK’s premier motor industry centre for engineering test and design, who are experts on advising vehicle manufacturers how to minimise in-vehicle sounds. The UCoustic cabinet was assessed for sound power measurement in accordance with ISO 3744 – in comparison with a standard data cabinet (see graph), it proved that UCoustic cabinets are significantly quieter.
