APW Mayville (Stantron) Nexserv
Server rack
Nexserv server cabinet is designed to integrate equipment, cabling,
power and cooling in a way that is smart, effective and saves
installation time. It was designed especially to handle the extra weight
capacity, power, cooling and cabling needs of both today's and
tomorrow's server applications. Nexserv's most unique feature is the "X"
design of the top and bottom of the structure. It eliminates the need to
pull or push cables over or through port holes or around the frame.
Allowing cables to be moved or laid in saves time and effort and reduces
the chance of potential damage to cables. Easy access to the front, rear
and sides of the cabinet make cabling a simple task.
