Rainford uses in-house fabrication, forming, finishing and assembly capabilities to manufacture enclosure and cabinet solutions for telecoms, data centres and critical infrastructure.

Rainford operates with structured quality processes designed to support consistent manufacturing and dependable enclosure performance. Current certification details can be confirmed with the Rainford team.

Rainford supports data centres, fixed networks, mobile networks, private networks, rail, road, defence, energy and other critical infrastructure environments.

Rainford supports projects from initial consultation and engineering through design, manufacture, configuration, integration and delivery.

A 19-inch rack cabinet is a standardised enclosure designed to house compatible network, telecom, server and electronic equipment. Internal mounting rails allow equipment to be installed in rack units.

Cabinet height is normally specified in rack units, commonly referred to as “U”. The appropriate height depends on the amount of equipment, cable management and future expansion required for the installation.

Additional cabinet depth can provide more room for deeper equipment, rear cable management, power distribution, ventilation and improved access during installation and maintenance.

Rainford provides indoor racks, network cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, streetside cabinets, data centre racks and bespoke equipment enclosures for a wide range of environments.

Rainford manufactures standard and project-specific cabinet solutions, including indoor racks, outdoor cabinets, telecom enclosures, data centre infrastructure and bespoke equipment housings.

Yes. Rainford supplies indoor racks and cabinets for telecom, data centre, enterprise and critical infrastructure applications.

Yes. Rainford designs and manufactures outdoor enclosures engineered for environmental protection, equipment security and demanding installation conditions.

Wall-mounted enclosure solutions can be used where space, equipment size or installation constraints make floor-standing cabinets unnecessary.

Cabinet configurations can incorporate mounting rails, shelves, cable management, ventilation, fans, power distribution, access control and other project-specific accessories.

Standard cabinets use established sizes and configurations, while bespoke enclosures are engineered around specific equipment, environmental, access, thermal or installation requirements.

An IP rating describes how effectively an enclosure protects equipment against solid objects, dust and water ingress. Higher ratings indicate greater levels of protection.

Read our IP Ratings and Standards guide for a full explanation.

IP rated cabinets are used where equipment requires protection from dust, moisture or water exposure, particularly in outdoor telecom, industrial and critical infrastructure environments.

The correct IP rating depends on the installation environment, exposure to dust and water, maintenance requirements and the sensitivity of the equipment being protected.

Yes. Outdoor enclosure designs can combine ingress protection with robust construction, secure access and other features intended to protect equipment against unauthorised access and physical damage.

Yes. Cabinets and enclosures can be configured around equipment dimensions, mounting requirements, cable entry, access, thermal management and environmental conditions.

Rainford has experience in thermal management and can incorporate ventilation, airflow management, fans and other cooling approaches depending on project requirements.

Enclosures can be engineered with electromagnetic compatibility requirements in mind where protection from electromagnetic interference is required.

Rainford has experience with enclosure requirements involving shock, vibration and seismic resilience for demanding infrastructure environments.

Yes. Rainford provides rack, cabinet, containment and caging solutions for enterprise, colocation and other data centre environments.
