This 19” 3U Anti-Tamper Security Cover from Loops is designed for professionals, such as DJs and data installers, needing to protect equipment within standard 19” rack cases or 3U mounting systems. Its primary benefit is preventing unauthorized access and tampering while allowing for ventilation and equipment visibility through circular cutouts. A key consideration is that it is a cover, not a fully enclosed cabinet, offering security against direct manipulation rather than environmental factors.

3U refers to the vertical space an equipment occupies in a standard 19-inch rack. One 'U' is equivalent to 1.75 inches (44.45mm), so 3U is 5.25 inches (133.35mm). This cover has a height of 132mm, fitting standard 3U dimensions.
No, this cover is designed for anti-tamper purposes and ventilation. It does not seal the equipment, so it does not protect against dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
The circular cutouts allow for some visibility and might permit access to certain buttons or ports depending on the equipment's layout. However, full access is not guaranteed and may be hindered by the cover.
The product description indicates it is made of durable module units, suggesting a robust plastic or metal construction suitable for professional use.
The product description does not specify if mounting screws are included. Typically, rack screws are purchased separately or provided by the rack manufacturer.
Loops offers various sizes including 1U and 2U, as well as a range of vented blanking modules, full 19U racks, and rack doors. Please check the store or contact Loops for specific availability.
Clean the cover with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Verify that your rack system is a standard 19-inch width and that you are attempting to install it in a 3U (132mm) height space. Ensure no obstructions are in the mounting path.
Ensure you are using the correct type and length of rack screws (typically cage nuts and screws). Check that the cover's mounting holes align perfectly with the rack's threaded or punched holes.
The circular cutouts are designed for general visibility. If specific LEDs are obscured, consider repositioning the equipment within the rack or using alternative status monitoring methods.
Setup
This security cover is designed for straightforward installation into any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet space that accommodates 3U (132mm) of vertical height. Align the mounting holes on the cover with the corresponding holes in your rack rails. Secure the cover using appropriate rack screws (not included). Ensure the cover is firmly attached and covers the intended equipment effectively.
