That’s because, as the main power backup for your telecom system, they need to be up even when everything else is down. Durability is one reason both AGM and lithium-ion batteries are recommended for telecom use. The more durable the batteries themselves are, the fewer requirements for their housing.
However, lithium-ion batteries are also more expensive on average and can be cost-prohibitive for some telecom applications. That said, lithium-ion batteries do offer some of the best stability and disaster resilience of any available telecom batteries.
Comms racks and cabinets hold mission-critical equipment such as servers, patch panels, routers and switches. Comms racks can also be used as monitoring points with screens and keyboards installed to control the flow of data through the servers, as well as adjusting cooling and humidity systems.
Small data cabinets usually provide capacity for devices from 1U up to 10U, while medium cabinets 11U to 25U and large network cabinets have a capacity from 26U to 47U. There are three common types of racks: open-frame racks, rack enclosures and wall-mounted racks.
We can rapidly install, move and repair comms racks and cabinets in premises large and small across the UK. From designing the best solution for your business to comprehensive aftercare and emergency call-out, Express Data are the network infrastructure installation, repair and mend specialists.
The less durable the battery, the more temperature control, ventilation, shock absorption, and other adaptations will need to be built into their housing. While maintenance is inevitable with any telecom battery bank, minimizing your maintenance requirements can also help reduce your long-term costs for the system.
