Overview

The nVent CRA12TH Rack-Mount Angles (SKU: CRA12TH) are constructed from durable 14-gauge steel, offering robust support for your equipment. These Type RA angles are specifically designed for mounting 19-inch rack-compatible equipment, providing a total of 12 rack units (U) of vertical mounting space. The angles feature precisely .281-inch (7 mm) diameter holes, spaced according to the EIA standard RS-310-D universal spacing, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of rack-mount devices. Optimized for 24-inch wide enclosures, the CRA12TH allows for flexible installation. They can be attached directly to enclosure flanges or, for added versatility, can be used with clip nuts (AN1032) for tapped holes. The plated finish on these rack-mount angles enhances their durability and resistance to environmental factors. These angles are suitable for a variety of enclosure types, including free-stand enclosures, Type 12, Type 4, and Type 4X fiberglass enclosures. Each purchase includes a pair of two full-length angles, providing complete coverage for your mounting needs. Manufactured in the US, the CRA12TH ensures reliable equipment organization and support within demanding industrial and IT environments.
