Kentix DoorLock network rack reader
Rack access for IT/OT racks reinvented
Opening and securing the rack is now very convenient: with the IT enclosure handle in a robust metal/plastic design as a lifting lever handle. This means that the handle does not require a swivelling range and enables ergonomic handling. The enclosure handle is connected via a patch cable. Up to 16 handles can be connected to one AccessManager. As any number of AccessManagers can be networked together, the number of rack handles that can be connected is unlimited.
The special plus in security: by installing a door contact, the closing and locking status of the rack door is permanently monitored. Power is supplied via PoE and can therefore be easily integrated into the UPS power supply.
KentixONE enables easy integration of our locking solutions into data center automation via the REST API. The number of users is unlimited.
IoT rack handles for IT- and Serverrack

- LED: RED-GREEN
- Up to 16 Lifthandles/Ethernetport (PoE)
- Chassis: Metal-Plastic
Direction of axis rotation for our lifting handles
The KXC-RA4 is available in two directions of axis rotation (right/left). Since the lift handle always performs the same movement, the gear unit or the axis rotation must be set according to the L/R door side.
It is essential to note the required direction of rotation of the axis when ordering. Easy to remember, the direction of rotation is always the same as the side of the door hinges.
IMPORTANT! For the direction of rotation, always look at the back of the door or back of the lever and when opening the lever.

What are the Distribution Boxes needed for?
The distribution boxes are required to network the components for front/rear door with rack levers and door contacts in the rack. Depending on the connection type of the rack lever, either via the direct networking of several levers in bus topology, or the connection to a Kentix SmartPDU.
One distributor is required per cabinet, to which the rack handle, the door contact and the networking among each other are then connected. The advantage, for 8 racks with 16 doors only one Ethernet port with PoE is needed.

Kentix locking solutions for IT cabinets
Compared to conventional swing handles, the Kentix DoorLock-RA4 is a so-called lifting lever. The advantage: the handle allows space-saving and very ergonomic operation. The opening process is very convenient, as the lever springs open automatically and can be opened with one pull.
Due to the standard dimensions used (50 mm grid), the handle is already compatible with many rack cabinet types. For manufacturers with proprietary lever mechanisms, such as Rittal or Vertiv, there are corresponding adapter solutions for easy replacement.
In addition to the DoorLock-RA4, we also offer digital locking half cylinders or radio cabinet locks for simple IT distributors.
Direct connection of the rack lever to the Kentix SmartPDU
