SUBUNIT

3U or 6U small sliding drawers for subrack installation

Composed of extruded aluminum sides, covers and front panels made from aluminum sheet. Rear panels in Magnelis.
They are usually used to protect or separate some components (for example power supplies) from the electronic cards.
This series is modular in depth and width, and therefore very versatile.
A wide range of accessories is available.
These characteristics make the Subunit perfect for applications in different industries: railway, industrial automation, telecommunications, aerospace and defense, military.
