Multi-Cabinet Installations (IPX 16/32)

For installations in which multiple IPX 16/32 cabinets stand next to each other, an optional kit is available from StrataCom that provides brackets and screws for clamping the cabinets together.

The Cabinet Side by Side Mounting Kit (Part No. 210372-00) consists of two top-mounting brackets, two bottom-mounting brackets, and two screws. The kit provides the necessary hardware to attach two cabinets at the top front, top rear, bottom front, and bottom rear.

Top Attachment

The front and rear corners on the top surface of the cabinet are equipped with a small slot and small screw hole. To attach two cabinets at the top (front and rear), do the following:

Step 1 Place the “L” shaped flange of one of the top mounting brackets into one of the slots in the top surface of the cabinet (Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4).

Step 2 Rotate the top mounting bracket towards the second cabinet so that the flange at the other end of the top mounting bracket fits into the slot on the top surface of the second cabinet (Figure 2-4).

Step 3 Secure the mounting bracket by inserting the provided screw into the elongated hole in the mounting bracket and screwing it in the hole in the cabinet (Figure 2-4).

Step 4 Perform this procedure for both the front and rear of the cabinets.

Bottom Attachment

The bottom mounting bracket, shown in Figure 2-5,uses the cabinet feet and the securing nuts to attach the two cabinets together at the bottom.

To attach two cabinets at the bottom (front and rear), do the following:

Step 1 On the front corners where the two cabinets are to be joined, loosen the lock nuts securing the cabinet feet enough to slide the bottom mounting bracket between the nut and the bottom surface of the cabinet.
