Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Network Cabinet will need to accommodate the following existing equipment: a. 1 or 2 RU fiber enclosure; b. Cisco Meraki MS355 switch or switches. The enclosure needs to be able to clear the switch’s depth of 24” to accommodate the power supply, power cord, and front or rear installed 100G stacking cable; c. 1 to 4 Cat5e/6 patch panels, typically 1-2 RU, each; d. 1 N1 Critical Technologies’ N1C.L1000 UPS, 2 RU; e. 1 rack mounted “power strip”, 1 RU; f. Dressed structured cabling at the back of the cabinet. 2. Cabinets/enclosures need to meet the following standards; a. Cabinets should be black in color and must allow for existing structured cabling to penetrate and enter the enclosure through either: gland plates with brush or mesh cable entrances; 2” or 2.5” punch outs at the rear of the enclosure. b. Cabinet swing open front doors should be windowed and allow viewing of components from outside of the enclosure. This window can be clear or smoked plastic or polycarbonate. Perforated or mesh doors will not be considered; c. Cabinets or enclosures will be fully enclosed with either fixed or lockable/removable side panels; d. Cabinets should swing out freely from the wall without experiencing “sticking” or freezing from the in-specification weight of the equipment causing strain on the hinges; e. The switch will require additional mounting rails that fit to the rear of the cabinet to support the back of any networking or UPS equipment to prevent sag; f. The wall swing-out and swinging front door will need to be lockable, and ideally, the key be the same across all cabinets/enclosures purchased; g. The enclosure will need to be properly grounded; h. In some areas, space constraints require the use of vertical cabinets. The size, depth, and locations of these cabinets will be specified in a later portion of this document;
