The UCoustic family of enclosures has been designed to be more than just a state of the art sound proof cabinet; it’s also a state of the art all round communications unit.

The combination of record breaking noise attenuation and thermal dissipation performance ensures the UCoustic™ family is a world class leader in its field.

For the uninitiated 28.5dBA is a massive noise reduction to achieve from a 19” Enclosure and to achieve this USystems have invested heavily in research and development, utilising state of the art technology and included the latest most effective acoustic materials available.

This amazing noise reduction has been achieved without compromise to cooling the active equipment housed within. In fact the UCousti 9210 not only out performs all other 19” enclosures in noise reduction but also in thermal capacity by achieving a staggering 7.2kw of heat dissipation.

So what does 28.5dBA noise reduction mean and what benefits do I get?

As with all sound proof enclosures, the performance of the UCoustic™ family relies upon the ingenuity of the enclosure design and the acoustic material used in order to remove as much noise from the enclosed sound source (e.g. servers) as is possible. Noise is measured in decibels (dBA) so when we claim 28.5dBA noise attenuation, we are basically saying this is the amount of noise we are removing from the sound source. So if the starting point of the sound source is 69dBA (equivalent to a vacuum cleaner at 3m) then by removing 28.5dBA will be the equivalent of reducing the sound source down to say ‘quiet speech’ (see chart below) putting this into context, the cabinet placed in an office environment which can sit anywhere between 48dBA (average office without speech) and 78dBA (busy office with speech), then basically this is a long winded way of saying you will not be able to hear the original sound source from within the UCoustic Cab – unless you had your ear pressed up again the cabinet!

Available in three heights, 12U, 24U and 42U, 780mm wide and 1100mm deep the UCoustic™ 9210 cab comes in two variants Active and Passive. The Active is designed to deal with higher heat loads and comes complete with variable fan speed controlled and temperature sensor, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.

Setting aside its acoustic and thermal capabilities the UCoustic™ 9210 cab is a complete all round communications cabinet, addressing both active and passive equipment in equal measure. Accommodating all main server brands e.g. IBM, HP, Dell, Sun, Viglan, etc., plus as importantly dealing with the infrastructure cabling and patch cabling.

About 8210

The 8210 is the smallest cabinet in the UCoustic™ family; however the same level of attention to detail has been applied to its design and performance as with the 9210. The 8210 has been designed to address both active and passive equipment in equal measure.
