The Professional Choice for Flexible Deployment.
In the dynamic R&D and educational labs of Hyderabad, equipment needs to be frequently accessed, modified, and rerouted. The HPE 12U Open Frame Rack provides the ultimate platform for this kind of high-impact work.
By removing the doors and side panels, this rack offers 360-degree accessibility for cabling and cooling. Its heavy-duty steel construction ensures that it can handle the weight of multiple ProLiant DL series servers while remaining light enough for easy position adjustments by a single technician.
Whether used as a floor-standing unit or wall-mounted to save space, we provide local tech teams in Telangana with a modular solution that is as scalable as their project requirements.
Optimized for Patching and Lab Work.
Deployment of experimental network topologies becomes highly efficient with an open frame. The lack of obstructions allows for immediate cable identification and replacement, which is critical for time-sensitive development cycles in Madhapur's innovation zones.
The standard 12RU height is perfect for desktop use in specialized engineering workstations or placed under standard lab benches to maximize vertical utility.
This accessible approach to equipment housing is essential for Hyderabad organizations that prioritize rapid iteration and airflow over strict high-security physical enclosures.
Heavy-Duty Steel and Universal Compatibility.
Physical stability is maintained through a widened base and precision-welded frame, preventing "wobble" even when loaded with high-speed networking switches and heavy storage controllers.
We implement standard square-hole mounting rails with clear U-index markings, ensuring that every piece of EIA-310 compliant hardware fits perfectly on the first try.
Integration with specialized HPE cable management rings and vertical PDU brackets ensures that your lab remains organized and professional, even without the concealment of an enclosed cabinet.
The HPE 12U Open Frame supports advanced features including optional lockable castors, integrated grounding points, and the ability to handle up to 60kg in wall-mount or 100kg in floor-mount configuration.
With its phenomenal versatility, this rack handles the requirements of university networking labs, ISP points-of-presence, and retail backroom patching hubs across Hyderabad.
Experience the transformation of your testing environment where total accessibility meets the industrial-strength quality of HPE engineering.
Our fulfillment warehouse in Hyderabad ensures that these versatile units are available for same-day delivery to meet your urgent project deadlines in Telangana.

Regional Case Study: Secunderabad Engineering Collage.
The Challenge
An engineering college in Secunderabad needed 20 compact racks for their new Computer Science laboratory. They required a solution that allowed students to easily见 and plug into networking equipment for their practical exams without the risk of heat buildup in enclosed spaces.
The Solution
We deployed HPE 12U Open Frame Racks on the desktops of every lab island. This allowed the students to see the physical port status and cable routing clearly, facilitating a better learning experience for network topology design.
Products Used
HPE 12U Open Frame Racks, HPE Aruba 2930F Switches, and Panduit Cat6 Patch Panels.
End Result
The lab became a highlight of the department's infrastructure. The open design resulted in zero equipment overheating incidents during long examination cycles, and the modular nature allowed the department to easily relocate the labs for different semesters.
Product FAQs.
Estimated pricing starts around ₹22,000 for the basic 12U open-frame. Bulk discounts are available for educational and laboratory volume orders.
Yes, the base of the HPE 12U is designed with reinforced mounting points, allowing it to be securely wall-mounted to clear floor space in small technician shops.
The open frame should be loaded from the bottom up to maintain a low center of gravity. For very heavy storage arrays, we recommend our floor-standing enclosed G3 models.
The 12U open frame ships flat-packed to reduce shipping costs. However, it can be assembled in less than 15 minutes with standard tools. Our team can also pre-assemble it for you before delivery in Hyderabad.
Yes, the frames include slots for D-rings and vertical management hooks, helping you keep your high-count fiber or copper runs organized and professional.
