Frequently Asked Questions

What types of rack accessories are available at TCH?

Common rack accessories include cooling fans, access doors, access ports, cables, and other components that help improve airflow and equipment management in rack systems.

What are deck plate inspection hatches used for in rack systems?

Round deck plates are inspection hatches commonly used for access openings and cable pass-through applications. In rack enclosure applications, they are mounted at the top or bottom of an enclosure to route cables and power cords through a protected opening. They are also commonly used where access openings require protection from dust, spray, or weather exposure.

 

What sizes of round deck plates are available from TCH?

TCH Hardware stocks round deck plates in three sizes: 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch. Each size is available in black, white, and grey. Both screw-off and pry-out lid styles are offered, providing flexibility depending on how frequently access is needed and the preferred closure style.

 

What is the difference between screw-off and pry-out deck plate lids?

Screw-off deck plate lids thread onto the housing, providing a threaded closure, commonly used where repeated access is required. Pry-out lids are removed using a flat tool or by hand, allowing quick access.

Are TCH rack accessories compatible with standard 19-inch EIA server racks?

Yes, Certain products in this collection are commonly used with standard EIA 19-inch rack systems, equipment enclosures, and panel applications. The deck plates and access ports can be installed in rack tops, rack floors, or enclosure panels by cutting the appropriate hole and installing according to the product instructions.

 

Can rack accessories be used in marine or outdoor applications?

TCH's round deck plates are designed for marine use; they can be used as boat deck plates, kayak hatch covers, and yacht inspection hatches. The screw-off and pry-out lids are commonly used in outdoor and marine applications. The textured finish helps reduce the visibility or surface wear.

 

What is a fan finger guard, and why do I need one?

A fan finger guard is a protective grille that mounts over a cooling fan in an enclosure or rack. It serves two purposes; protecting users from accidentally contacting rotating fan blades and preventing cables, debris, or foreign objects from entering the fan housing. TCH offers finger guards compatible with standard rack-mount fans. They are commonly used accessories for ventilated enclosures and equipment racks.

 

What length AC fan power cord does TCH offer for rack fans?

TCH stocks a 45° angled AC fan power plug cord that is 72 inches (6 feet) long. The angled plug design is particularly useful in tight rack or enclosure installations where a straight plug would conflict with nearby cables or the enclosure's rear wall.

 

How do I install a round deck plate in my rack enclosure?

Cut a circular hole in the panel or rack surface to match the deck plate's outer collar diameter, insert the collar from the top side of the panel, and install according to the deck plate design and product instructions. TCH recommends verifying that the panel thickness is compatible with the specific deck plate collar depth before ordering.

 

Can round deck plates be used as cable pass-through ports?

Yes, Round deck plates are commonly used as cable and power cord pass-through ports in equipment racks, enclosures, marine applications, and access panels. TCH offers both screw-off and pry-out styles depending on access requirements.
