ePanelocks from Denver Innovations secure your racked equipment, but allow superior airflow compared to drawers, cabinets and cages. These received the Gold Innovation Award from Cabling, Installation and Maintenance (CIM) Magazine for locking covers that allow excellent air circulation, PLUS includes built-in cable management and protection, use no extra rack spaces and can be easily installed over already working equipment. They can be significantly less expensive than cabinets and cages, even before adding extra cooling costs to the budget. When used in open racks, floorspace and wall space is much better utilized as well. ePanelock covers remove completely for less restricted access to maintenance, adds, moves and changes, and can be configured with the lock types of your choosing.  A simpler and more cost-effective option.

Open racks help with cooling, space-efficiency and access, but not with preventing snagged cables/fibers or someone unplugging a port, whether accidentally or on purpose. Denver Innovations’ ePanelocks can secure your cables and ports without any added rack space, install over already working equipment, permits good airflow, and includes cable management. ePanelocks can be reused and installed/uninstalled at any time, and the covers remove completely for unrestricted access. For around $100 one-time, you avoid the costs and headaches of down-time, dispatching, troubleshooting and repair. Made in the USA.

We might be able to help by providing strong physical security with integrated cable management for racked equipment that can be installed over working equipment, moved and reused, all without service interruptions or maintenance windows. Wins have included credit unions, the DoD, company data centers, utility companies, and colocations. Our ePanelocks also take up no extra rack spaces, nor require more footprint than a rack itself holding the equipment. Cages and cabinets require more floorspace, more installation time and expense, often require prearranged configurations that are difficult to rearrange later, limit access to working on cabling, and may require added cooling and/or baffling. We offer more options than are on our ecommerce site, including protection for mid-mounted equipment that can exceed cabinet depths. Give us a shout to see if we can help you win more projects by lowering the costs, timing and space for the customer, while also improving the flexibility and ease of maintenance. Made here in the USA. (720) 612-4221

Exposed switches, routers and patch panels can create service-affecting problems for the rightful operators, even in a supposedly controlled space.

Denver Innovations’ ePanelocks offer a dedicated, low-cost solution that is cheaper and more user-friendly than adding cabinets and locking drawers. And, unlike cabinets and drawers, ePanelocks can be installed over already working equipment in a rack, use no additional rack spaces, provide strong security, has built-in cable management, and can be removed completely while the equipment is still working for easier changes.

Physical security to control access to your hardware is just as important as firewalls and cyber security measures, especially when it comes to keeping your network up and running. Protection such as ePanelocks can restrict access by unauthorized persons whether by accident or intentionally. This is true for both managed and unmanaged networks.

Managed networks use certain access controls that can lock-up ports or devices when someone either removes a cable or plugs-in to them. This shuts down that portion of the network and usually requires a trouble ticket for an admin to resolve, possibly on-site. While this going on, your network is down.

Unmanaged networks have literally no control over someone plugging into a port or removing cables that can leave your network not only vulnerable to unauthorized access or disconnections, but potentially blind to the event.

Not all physical protections are the same. Choosing one that cannot be broken into without extreme measures is your best bet. Simple key-tabbed cabinets and covers are easily opened and might not indicate they were accessed. ePanelocks are patented to provide cable management, airflow and full protection from being popped open, removal of rack screws and virtually any other type of physical access to the equipment.
