Cannon Technologies Extension Frame Solution
Extend the Life of Your 19″ Racks
Sustainable, Cost-Effective, Future-Ready
Maximising Your Investment in Existing Racks
IT infrastructure evolves rapidly, and equipment depth requirements are increasing across industries.
For many organisations, this presents a challenge: existing 19″ rack cabinets are not always deep enough to house the latest servers, storage, or networking equipment.
Traditionally, the response has been costly and wasteful — replacing racks, creating scrap metal, and disrupting live environments.
Cannon Technologies offers a smarter, more sustainable alternative: The Cannon Extension Frame
The Cannon Extension Frame
The Cannon Extension Frame is designed to retrofit seamlessly onto existing 19″ rack cabinets, adding 100mm to 200mm of additional depth (300mm by special request). This innovative solution allows you to keep your current racks in place while accommodating new, deeper equipment.
Available in multiple depths:
- 100mm Extension Frame
- 150mm Extension Frame
- 200mm Extension Frame
(50 and 300mm frames available by special request)
The frames are precision-engineered to integrate with Cannon racks, ensuring the same premium quality, strength, and reliability you expect from our enclosures.
Why Choose Extension Over Replacement?
The Cannon Extension Frame offers significant advantages over replacing entire racks:
- Cost Savings:
Avoid the expense of new racks and installation labour. - Time Savings:
Retrofits can be completed in situ, minimising disruption to live environments. - Sustainability:
Reduce waste and environmental impact by extending the life of existing equipment. - Future-Proofing:
Adapt your racks to handle the latest technology without replacement. - Minimal Downtime:
Keep existing infrastructure operational while adding depth where required.
Supporting Your Sustainability Goals
Cannon Technologies is committed to helping organisations reduce their environmental footprint. By choosing to extend rather than replace, you avoid generating unnecessary scrap metal and reduce the carbon impact associated with manufacturing and transporting entirely new racks.
Extension frames provide a tangible way to align your IT infrastructure strategy with corporate sustainability initiatives – demonstrating responsible procurement and long-term thinking.
Summary
The Cannon Extension Frame is the smart choice for organisations facing deeper equipment requirements. By retrofitting your existing racks with 100mm, 150mm or 200mm extensions, you can save money, save time, and reduce environmental impact — all while ensuring your infrastructure is ready for the future.
