Launch of the Corner Cab range

The purpose of this press release is to publicise the launch of a unique product: The Corner Cab

A world first

This product is designed & built in England and is unique: no-one in the world has such a product

Background

When installing data cabling, the installer often finds himself boxed into a corner when he needs to establish a distribution point and often has to fit a network cabinet in the corner of a room.
This cabinet is always square. 
This beggars the question: "Why isn't there a triangular network cabinet that will fit neatly into the corner?"
The answer is: "There is no such thing as a corner cabinet"

...Until Now

Concept

Surprisingly, no-one makes network cabinets that will fit into a corner.
CabsRus has addressed the issue and has now created the Corner Cabinet.
The basic function of the cabinet is to fit into the available space.

Pictures illustrating the scenario:

  

First of a kind - The Corner cab:

Made in England

The Corner Cabinet is Made in England

Charline Auker [Sales & Marketing]:
"This is a unique product: no-one else is making them. So, we are hoping they will prove a success.
The Corner Cabs are being produced in our manufacturing facility in the Midlands.
So, as we are all in the middle of a credit crunch, I'm very pleased to confirm that the cabs will be Made in Britain - and always will be."

 

Designed in England

The Corner Cabinet was Designed in England

  Steve Gillis [Designer]:
"I was sat in the corner eating a Christmas Pie when I came up with this plum of an idea.
In a nutshell, network cabinets often have to be deployed outside of the 'system room'. They are usually subsidiary cabs containing patch panels and switches. Equally, for smaller sites, a single cab is required but must reside in office space. So, I thought, if these cabs keep ending up in a corner, why not have a cab that neatly sits in this corner space?
The principle of the network cabinet originated in the US and now, to a certain extent, we're stuck with it. More and more equipment and infrastructure elements is being produced in the 19 inch rack mountable form so cabs are frequently being used as distribution furniture in office space. They are increasingly becoming multi-functional as they are housing not only IT & Comms hardware but also audio visual, security and electrical equipment.
So the need for a cab that will blend in or be added with the minimum of impact is becoming paramount.
The corner cab is presented as an alternative to the traditional square unit.
The corner cab essentially exists in two forms: small for distribution and large for equipment & distribution. 
The larger cab is stylishly designed as we would like to see it as a feature, especially when housing AV equipment, rather than it being hidden away.
I know this is not the answer for all cab usage and in many cases the installer may prefer to stick with what he's used to but the corner cab does offer another solution and lets the installer think outside of the box."

Original design concept drawing:

Use

The Corner Cabinet uses standard 19" racking and is available in two forms: small & large. It is also modular which means it can be stacked to provide any U size and cater for equipment demarcation.

It is designed for use by installers of:

  • CCTV
  • Structured Cabling
  • Telecommunications Systems
  • IT
  • Alarms & Security
  • Nurse Call & Healthcare equipment
  • General Electrical

Charline Auker [Sales & Marketing]:
"We are keen to support installers and see them as our key market. We do have an on-line store that anyone can use but, I think, that it's the installer that will spot the benefit of the corner cabinet"
