Rackmount Drawer

I'm looking for pull-out rackmount drawers that are similar to these:

Ideally, I would like to find 4U or 5U drawers, for 19 or 23" racks, that are at least 20" deep. I'm told that these products exists, but I can't seem to find them.

Also, I'd like to get hold of the official mechanical/dimensional specs for racks and the equipment that goes inside. I've come across drawings for a few products here-and-there, but I can't locate any specs.

I'd appreciate any pointers to URL's, or even to specific companies.

Thanks,

Mike

Chatsworth is a huge manufacturer of racks; very popular among the IT and comms community.

They have good product specs you could derive from, and they probably claim compliance with standards you can reference.

also make racks and cabinets (see IT Solutions)

Among some of the peculiarities... there seems to be several standards for vertical hole spacing, and many vendors have overlaid them in one product (so not all holes will line up in all positions on a 4-hols faceplate). Also, there are at least 2 common screw threads that appear close; one is coarser for aluminum frames, the other is finer for steel clip-on nuts and threaded steel frames.

Other random commentary from a user... aluminum frames work best for front-mount gear, since it's more rigid; steel for 4-post racks (2-post steel rails flex under moderate loading). Also, there seems to be no standard depth between front/rear rails, so make sure your slide rails can adjust the rear bracket.

This may help, about halfway down the page.
