ABSTRACT:
A rack system for electronic and/or electrical equipment including a frame, a front door mounted to the front of the frame, a back door or panel, two side panels mounted to the back and two sides of the frame, and a top panel mounted to the top of the frame. The doors can be single doors or dual doors. The frame includes a rectangular base frame constructed by four horizontal edge members, and a top frame having the same structure as the base frame, and four vertical members each extending between two associate corners of the base frame and the top frame, and joining the base frame and top frame together. The horizontal members and vertical members are contoured with step-like structures, so that the rack has a high stiffness and strength. The door includes a hinge and a latch attached to two vertical members. The panels are provided with tabs and latches for securing the panels to the frame.
