Siemon launches lighter
coloured cabinet solutions
/////////////////////////////
S
iemon, a leading global network
infrastructure specialist, has announced
that its cabinet solutions and
accessories are now available in white and
light grey in the Middle East, improving
visibility and delivering a modern look for data
centres and telecommunications spaces.
In addition to existing black (RAL 9011),
Siemon’s VersaPOD, V800, V600 and wall-
mount cabinets are now available in white
(RAL 9003) and light grey (RAL 7035).
Cabinet accessories are also available in
white and light grey to ensure a seamless
look throughout the cabinets, including
VersaPOD zero-U and end-of-row panels,
cable managers, blanking panels and PDU
mounting brackets.
Vertical patch panels, cable trays, cable
managers and brush guards used with V800
and V600 cabinets also come in a white or
grey, as well as common cabinet accessories
including equipment shelves, filler panels,
exhaust chimneys, lid dividers, casters and
mounting rails.
Lighter coloured cabinets are becoming
a trend in data centres due to their clean,
modern look. They also reflect up to 75%
more light than black cabinets for overall
improved visibility, making critical network
connections and equipment easier to see in
dim lighting conditions.
With improved visibility, lighting energy
within these networking spaces may be
reduced for potential operational cost
savings. Lighter coloured cabinets are also
less prone to visible scratches, and they
blend well into surrounding décor.
“We are extremely pleased to round out our
comprehensive cabinet offering with white

and light grey colour options,” said Prem
Rodrigues, Siemon’s director of sales and
marketing for the Middle East, India and the
South Asian Association for Regional Co-
operation (SAARC) at Siemon.
“Not only does the expansion support
increasing popularity for lighter coloured
cabinets in data centres, but our lighter
coloured wall-mount cabinet is ideal for
blending into the walls of classrooms, retail
spaces or other similar environments.”
Siemon’s VersaPOD cabinets leverage the
vertical space between cabinets and at
the end of row for zero-U patching, cable
management and power distribution,
reducing stranded power outlets by 75%
and resulting in 46% savings.
The V800 cabinet is ideal for high-density
data centre environments, while the V600
is a versatile, cost-effective cabinet perfect
for housing servers. Siemon’s feature-rich
wall-mount cabinet saves valuable floor
space and is ideal as a mini telecomm room
or for remote network distribution and
consolidation points in open, unprotected
spaces. All of Siemon’s cabinets are
also available as V-Built preconfigured
cabinets that are preloaded with Siemon
components, including connectivity, PDUs,
cable management and accessories to meet
specific applications and configurations. n
