The Eaton Tripp Lite SR42UBCL SmartRack Co-Location Enclosure is engineered to maximize space, security, and versatility in busy data centers and multi-tenant environments. With two independent 20U compartments housed in a single standard-footprint enclosure, this 42U cabinet delivers the flexibility you need to run separate networks, customers, or applications side by side without sacrificing performance or security. Each compartment features its own front and rear access doors equipped with combo locks, ensuring robust access control while maintaining clean, organized cable management and airflow. The divider panel between compartments further enhances privacy and organization, helping to prevent interference and making it easier to maintain clean separation of equipment, power, and network paths. Whether you’re consolidating infrastructure in a data center, provisioning a colocation facility, or provisioning a sophisticated edge deployment, this enclosure gives you the reliability, security, and scale you expect from Tripp Lite.

  • Two independent 20U compartments in one footprint: The SR42UBCL is designed to host two distinct user environments within a single enclosure. Each compartment provides up to 20U of mounting space and is fully operable on its own, enabling multi-tenant configurations or separate IT teams to manage their gear without encroaching on each other’s space. This dual- compartment design optimizes floor space, reduces total enclosure count, and lowers total cost of ownership while preserving the centralized benefits of a shared rack system.
  • Front and rear doors with combo locks: Security is built into the enclosure’s core design. Each compartment has its own front and rear access doors, both fitted with combination locks as standard. This dual-door security model ensures only authorized personnel can access equipment, supports compliance requirements, and simplifies auditing across multiple tenants or teams sharing the same cabinet footprint.
  • Divider panel to separate compartments: A dedicated divider panel physically partitions the two 20U spaces, helping to prevent cross-tenant interference and promote organized cabling, airflow, and thermal management. The divider also simplifies labeling, cable routing, and equipment placement by keeping racks visually and functionally distinct within the same enclosure.
  • Standard-depth, compatible 19-inch rack rails: Built to integrate with a wide range of standard IT equipment, the enclosure uses 19-inch rack rails per compartment and a standard-depth design. This compatibility ensures you can install servers, switches, storage devices, and other modular equipment without needing custom adapters, while maintaining proper clearance for cabling and hot air exhaust.
  • Total 42U capacity with flexible co-location use cases: With a combined 42U of mounting space, this enclosure is ideal for co-location facilities, multi-tenant data centers, telecom rooms, and edge deployments where space efficiency, security, and independent access are crucial. The design supports scalable deployments as your infrastructure grows, maintaining separation and organization across two distinct environments within one robust cabinet.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite SR42UBCL

  • Plan and prepare the installation: Confirm the installation location, ensure floor load capacity and ventilation are sufficient for a two-compartment enclosure, and gather necessary mounting hardware and security components. Verify that both front and rear access routes are clear for servicing and cable routing.
  • Unpack and inspect: Carefully remove packaging and check all components against the bill of materials. Look for any transit damage and verify that the two compartments, divider panel, doors, and locks are present and undamaged before proceeding.
  • Position and secure the enclosure: Move the cabinet to its final location and level it on the floor using built-in leveling feet or casters as specified by the manufacturer. Ensure that the enclosure sits squarely and securely to prevent movement during equipment installation and maintenance.
  • Install mounting rails and compartments: Attach the 19-inch rack rails per compartment according to the provided hardware layout. Ensure rails are properly aligned and securely anchored to support the anticipated load. Install the divider panel between the compartments to maintain separation and organize cabling paths.
  • Mount equipment and manage cabling: Begin mounting IT equipment in each 20U compartment, following best practices for weight distribution and airflow. Route power and data cables in separate, clearly labeled paths to avoid cross-cabling interference, and preserve adequate clearance for door operation and service access. Leave slack for front and rear cable management where appropriate.
  • Configure doors and locks: Set and verify the combo locks for each compartment. Test both front and rear doors to ensure smooth operation and reliable security. Document access codes and distribute them only to authorized personnel as part of your security policy.
  • Finalize testing and handover: Verify that all equipment powers on correctly, that airflow is unobstructed, and that cable-managed paths do not impede door movement. Conduct a final security and safety check, update asset records, and provide the facility manager with documentation for ongoing maintenance and access controls.

Not real Black Iron, but works just as well
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
First, these parts that I got were not real Black Iron pipes like you would pick up at a hardware store, they are like furniture grade tubes for an IKEA shelving system. The thread would fit 3/4 pipe from like HD, but they are not the same, I know this because I just bought some of the pipe and parts for a small shelf right before ordering this. I should have known from the price, the real stuff is kind of pricey, but nicer. The elbows and T-connectors as well as the flanges seem more like galvanized steel painted black. HOWEVER, the end product is pretty nice and very versatile as to where you would want to put it. It is still pretty sturdy, and if screwed into a stud, I believe it would hold a lot of weight. The entire shelving system is painted black, so unlike Black Iron, it will not stain your hands black when handling it. Putting this together took about 30 min, the longest part was adjusting angles and lengths to get it flat and squared, but was not hard at all. This kit does NOT come with shelf boards, so length of that is up to you. It also came with mounting screws, but they are thin and I would suggest as your getting boards for shelves, also pick up some beefier screws, U used #12 - 1 1/4" wood screws with the sleeves for drywall and a little longer for securing it into a stud. All in all, this black pipe shelf looks nice, is nice and will work out great, just know, it is not the real Black Iron pipes and parts you would get from a hardware store, but the threads would fit if you wanted to add to this. I only knocked down one star because of this, and if I am going to buy more of these, I would prefer the real stuff and not go with this one.

Love these!!!
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
Super sturdy..looks excellent. Industrial and clean lines....lots of space for our kids bathroom. The wood does not come with it but was easy to get lowes. We actually added another shelf on the top bracket to make 4 shelves. They're nice and wide to fit baskets and organize things. For teenagers bathroom! My husband installed by himself and he isn't the handiest of guys but it it wasn't bad. I do recommend getting pipe fastners to secure the boards to the pipes so they don't shift around

Nice pipe shelves! Excellent quality!
Size: 28inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
I really like the fact that the pieces were already painted. I compared the cost of the unit to buying the pieces from the big box store and this was far more cost effective for me. The installation went well and I ended up creating a template for installation. For the template, I measured the width of one of the flanges (part that mounts to the wall), cut a piece of material the same width. I found the center and drew a line down the middle. I then placed the section with top and bottom holes over the center line and then marked the other two holes. I then drilled out the holes, put on wall and used level to plumb. I used small pilot drill bit to drill through the template into the wall. One thing to note is that I did not use the included anchors instead opting for some from the big box store.

Well built and priced
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
I saw these on line and decided I could probably just build one on my own. After pricing the parts out at the local hardware store, it was almost the same price, and opted for the less hassle pre-fab online kit. The material is well made, same as the hardware store, except the threads are shorter for easier assembly, and its painted for a cleaner look. I bought the 12"Dx42"L kit, and although I knew the measurements, it was a lot more massive than it looked in the picture. An 8' or 10"x 24"L kit would have fit my needs better. I only assembled 2 of the 3 sections, and will use the single section leftover for another shelf elsewhere, so it wasn't a problem. I'm happy with the end result and would recommend.

So beautiful!
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black, Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
The poles are very sturdy. The order doesn’t come with wood but I only spent ~$15-20 on the wood and stain needed to shelve the poles. The only complaint I have is it was hard to install; mostly due to my lack of experience. It took most of the day to install and stain and cute the shelves. The poles weren’t completely flush to the wall and I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. I love the way these turned out and I know these shelves will be coming with me to the next home I have. 10/10 would recommend, even with the hard installation. SO worth it.
