Caseframes – 3U Vertical Basic Case
The vertical DIPLOMAT caseframes are available in 3 widths and in two depths. They are supplied in basic assembly format i.e. with no tie bars, tapped strips, trims or rear panels. These units are ideal for floor standing or desk top applications involving computer products or power supplies. Additional cooling can be applied to the units by simply ordering rear fan panels or conventional vented panels on page 4.21. As standard the vertical foot is supplied with rubber inserts to avoid any slippage on a desk surface.

Caseframes – Basic Cases With Ventilation Plinth
The plinth design for the DIPLOMAT caseframe ensures, that the air flow is distributed across the full width of the case and will be directed across the cards and up over the backplane. Typical air velocities as achieved in a fully loaded system are shown on the right and demonstrate the consistency of air flow even in slot 1 position where many hot cards will be placed.

Transparent Doors
This unique door design provides an attractive and secure facia to the DIPLOMAT caseframe. The construction consists of formed acrylic, two extrusions, corner mouldings and a lock mechanism, producing a strong and lightweight door which is easily fitted to the caseframe. The door allows sufficient room from the front panel to the inside door surface for mounting large front panel components. The front panel clearance is approximately 44mm. Flammability rating – BS476 class 3/UL94 HB

Heavy Duty Carry Handle 3U Cases Only
This heavy duty handle is designed to visually coordinate with the DIPLOMAT cases. It is suitable for 3U cases and will accept loads of up to 300N. The handle has a press button mechanism which locks in increments of 30°. This allows the cases to be easily carried or tilted on a work surface.

Feature Front Panels
Manufactured in 3mm etched and anodised aluminium with a high quality surface finish, these panels provide a clean and very attractive frontal appearance. Suitable for use on both the front and rear of the case, they are fitted into the bezel in place of the trims and in front of subrack tie bars. Sufficient room is available for KM6-II plug-in units to be fitted behind these panels.

In order to maintain a clean and attractive appearance on the front of the DIPLOMAT caseframes highlighted bezel trims can be easily fixed to the unit. Rear fixing provides security and front fixing ease of access.

Steel Rear Panels
For use at the rear of the unit, these panels provide ventilation and mounting holes for the cable tidy.

Rear Fan Panels (Without Fans Fitted)
Available as alternatives to the steel rear panels, these provide mounting positions for cooling fans. Two positions are provided on 6U versions and a single central position is provided on the 3U version. Either DC or AC 120mm square fans may be used.

Fan Panel Accessories

Rear Cable Tidy – 10.5″ and 19″ Compatible

Earth Continuity Kit
The case fixing screws are designed to provide continuity in the frame when tightened; however, it is recommended that all units are fitted with the earth continuity kit. This provides all the cables and fixings required to give complete earth continuity throughout the case. This single kit is suitable for all sizes of DIPLOMAT cases and caseframes.

Rear Cable Tidy – 10.5″ and 19″ Compatible
The rear cable tidy allows power cables to be conveniently and tidily stored. It is supplied as a kit of two mouldings which are attached directly to the prepunched rear panels (both types).

Bump Down Feet 3U Cases Only
This useful ‘Bump down’ foot accessory allows portable instruments to be placed safely on rugged surfaces without causing damage to the unit itself. The foot assembly also acts as a cable wrap to conveniently store power cables. Access to the DIPLOMAT interior can be gained via securing screws in the foot moulding, which when unscrewed will release the top and base covers. These are suitable for 3U units only.
