PMURB100

The nVent **Frame-Reducing Brackets (SKU: PMURB100)** are precision-engineered steel components designed to optimize frame and mounting channel configurations for 19-inch and 23-inch rack systems. Manufactured by nVent, a global leader in electrical and thermal management solutions, these brackets enable seamless integration of rack-mounted equipment into existing infrastructure without costly modifications. Engineered for versatility, the PMURB100 mounts directly to 700mm or 800mm wide ProLine frames or mounting channels, reducing the width to 600mm for 19-inch rack angles or 700mm for 23-inch rack angles. This adaptability ensures compatibility with standard rack configurations while maintaining structural integrity and load-bearing capacity. **Key Applications and Industry Use Cases** These reducing brackets are indispensable in data centers, telecommunications facilities, industrial automation environments, and commercial AV installations where space optimization and equipment standardization are critical. In data centers, they allow for the consolidation of legacy 700mm or 800mm frames into 600mm configurations, accommodating modern 19-inch rack-mounted servers and networking hardware. Telecommunications providers leverage these brackets to retrofit existing infrastructure for compliance with EIA-310-D standards, ensuring seamless integration of patch panels, switches, and other critical equipment. Industrial automation facilities use them to align custom frame systems with standardized rack angles, reducing downtime during equipment upgrades or replacements. **Design and Installation Benefits** The PMURB100 is constructed from high-strength steel, ensuring durability and resistance to deformation under load. Each set includes four brackets and all necessary mounting hardware, simplifying procurement and installation. The brackets can be installed to left- or right-justify rack-mounted equipment, providing flexibility in layout planning and cable management. This adjustability is particularly valuable in tight spaces or when aligning equipment with specific airflow or access requirements. **Why Choose nVent?** nVent’s reputation for engineering excellence and reliability makes the PMURB100 a trusted choice for professionals who demand precision and longevity. The company’s extensive portfolio of electrical and thermal management solutions ensures compatibility with a wide range of nVent products, including ProLine frames and mounting channels. Additionally, nVent’s commitment to quality control and compliance with industry standards (such as UL and CE) provides peace of mind for critical infrastructure applications. Whether you’re retrofitting an existing facility or designing a new installation, the nVent Frame-Reducing Brackets deliver the performance and versatility required to meet modern racking challenges. **Typical Specifications and Compatibility** - **Material:** Steel (black finish) - **Width Reduction Options:** 700mm → 600mm (19-inch rack angles) or 800mm → 700mm (23-inch rack angles) - **Set Contents:** Four brackets + mounting hardware - **Mounting:** Direct attachment to ProLine frames or mounting channels - **Country of Origin:** USA **Professional Selection and Installation Tips** When selecting reducing brackets, consider the load requirements of your rack-mounted equipment and the structural capacity of your existing frames. The PMURB100 is designed for static loads typical of rack-mounted servers, switches, and patch panels, but always verify compatibility with your specific application. Installation is straightforward with standard tools, but professionals should ensure proper alignment to prevent stress on the frame or mounting channel. For high-density installations, consider using additional support brackets or struts to distribute weight evenly. **Long-Term Value and ROI** Investing in nVent’s Frame-Reducing Brackets eliminates the need for costly frame replacements or custom fabrication, delivering immediate cost savings and long-term reliability. By enabling the reuse of existing infrastructure, these brackets reduce material waste and project timelines, making them an eco-friendly and efficient solution for modernizing rack systems. Whether you’re expanding a data center, upgrading a control room, or standardizing equipment across multiple sites, the PMURB100 provides a proven, high-performance solution backed by nVent’s industry-leading expertise.
