I need a 6U high 19inch rack mounting instrument case for my next project. I can find plenty of 4U high cases but not one 6U high case.
I am in the UK.

Siamese two fours together. Remove some from one before you mate them, leaving 6U.

Are you sure 6U is a standard size? I don't recall ever seeing 6U instrument cases or front panels. Like someone else already mentioned, you could stick a 4U and a 2U together. Don't forget to use 2 bars to support the backplane.

I had thought of that but I would still need to get a one piece 6U front panel that was compatible with them.

Actually 6U is a standard size. I just discovered Vero makes them but the minimum order is 10-off.

Backplane? He did not say it was for slide in cards.

Google is loaded with places to locate 6u rack panels, chassis and accessories. Just a few get you going...

I think you misunderstand what I want. I know there are plenty of t6U high cabinets to house rack mounting gear. That's not what I want. I want an instrument case that can then be mounted in a 19inch rack.

Have you tried "Rittal" ? They have a factory near "Rotherham" South Yorkshire.

They do, and I have checked extensively but the 6U rack enclosure is not stocked by any distributor. They do the sub rack which, with some extra panels I could make into a complete case but that's a rather expensive route.

Yes, but their web site is a nightmare. Cheers

Since only one dope in a million would ever order one, no distributors have *ever* likely stocked them, and would have the same 10 off requirement their vendor has.

Sorry. I'm totally wrong here. Flu is messing with my head. 6U should be pretty standard. You could check Rittal like some else mentioned.
