{"title":"MAC Rack Cases","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MAC Rack is Peli's highest-protection portable rack case, built around a heavy-duty shock mount system that places the internal rack frame on multiple elastomeric isolators arranged to provide six-axis protection against shock and vibration. The textured low-visibility shell is rotomolded high-density polyethylene and carries a black military appearance finish. The case is available in 20-inch (51 cm) and 24-inch (61 cm) rack depths and spans from 3U to 14U, covering the full range of payload sizes encountered in military electronics programmes. Payload capacity reaches 170 lbs (77 kg) on the larger models, making the MAC Rack the correct choice when equipment panels are dense with power supplies, cooling hardware, or heavy signal-processing boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMilitary and Aerospace Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAC Rack is a NATO-programme staple. It has been specified in US, UK, French, and German military programmes for electronic warfare (EW) system transport, airborne ground-support equipment, artillery fire-control processing nodes, and satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal racks. In the aerospace sector, it is used for avionics ground-support equipment (GSE) and portable flight-test instrumentation racks where equipment must survive both ground transport on military vehicles and frequent loading onto military transport aircraft. The case design is compatible with MIL-STD-810 test methods H (transit drop), I (shock), and VI (vibration), and European integrators routinely qualify it against equivalent STANAG 4340 and DEF STAN 81-41 protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShock Mount Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAC Rack's shock mount system uses four to eight individual rubber isolator mounts (depending on model size) positioned between the rack frame and the case shell. This arrangement decouples the rack from the shell in all three translational axes and provides rotational damping as well, which is critical for equipment susceptible to rotational shock — such as spinning hard drives and tape libraries. The isolators are field-replaceable, allowing the shock mount performance to be restored after a severe impact event without replacing the entire case. The 3U to 9U models are the most commonly stocked in European distribution; 11U and 14U are available on extended lead time.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/drava.shop\/sv\/collections\/mac-rack-cases.oembed","provider":"Drava Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
