Intellectual Property Rights
IPRs essential or potentially essential to the present document may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (http://ipr.etsi.org).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web
server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.
Foreword
This European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Environmental Engineering (EE).
The present document is part 6 of a multi-part deliverable aimed at setting out, on a common basis, the installation
engineering requirements for telecommunication practice, for housing equipment forming part of a public
telecommunications network.
ETSI EN 300 119-1 [i.1] is a general introduction and explains the terminology used. ETSI EN 300 119-2 [i.2] specifies
the engineering requirements for racks and cabinets. ETSI EN 300 119-3 [i.3] specifies the engineering requirements
for miscellaneous racks and cabinets. ETSI EN 300 119-4 [i.4] covers engineering requirements for subracks in
miscellaneous racks and cabinets. ETSI EN 300 119-5 [i.5] covers the preferred thermal management solutions for
subracks, racks/cabinets and miscellaneous racks/cabinets installed indoors in restricted access locations, for the
removal of heat dissipated by one or more subracks in an rack complying to the requirements of this multi-part
standard.
The present document, ETSI EN 300 119-6, is defining extension to the existing parts of the standard to harmonize
dimensions and to extend rack installation capabilities.
These extended features are:
• mounting bracket depth adjustment only on subrack level (as normally done on many other standardized
equipment practices; e.g. 19 inches)
• full installation compatibility for installing rack line-ups with 300 mm and 600 mm depth
(see ETSI EN 300 119-3 [i.3])
• common position of mounting brackets for both 300 mm and 600 mm depth
• recessed subrack mounting plane compared to ETSI EN 300 119-3 [i.3] and ETSI EN 300 119-4 [i.4] to allow
more room for cable management and better cable access from front/rear aisle
• modular design for 300 mm/600 mm racks to improve installation and thermal management (e.g. back-to-back
with 200 mm off-set)
• split up of 600 mm deep footprint into 2x300 mm so that both rack types allow the same subrack fixation plane
• 300 mm and 600 mm deep racks with back-to-back installation compatibility for subracks (option to mount
two 280 mm deep subracks back to back in a 600x600 mm footprint)
• 300 mm and 600 mm deep racks with detachable side/rear covers to allow full cable duct access from the side
• common 10 mm thick door design for both 300 mm and 600 mm rack to improve commonality
• design subrack mounting plane in a manner so that not only 600 mm deep rack is a earthquake proof design
but also the 300 mm rack (600 mm: ~7 inches deep upright; 300 mm ~3,5 inches deep upright; commonality
with EIA rack standard for SNBF)
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 4 ----------------------
5 ETSI EN 300 119-6 V1.1.1 (2015-02)
• option for rack side extensions to create enhanced cabling space and thermal management options (e.g. heat
exchangers for water cooling to gain best energy efficiency for IT infrastructure) for both rack types (300 mm
and 600 mm depth)
• keep the rack side structure open with optional side plates to increase cabling space and reduce costs in rack
line-ups (only first and last rack would need a side plate)
• make ETSI mounting principle similar to SNBF (5 inches deep upright) which is used in USA
telecommunication offices to gain more commonality for international markets
• Seismic Proof Design (target: IEC 61587-2 [i.6]) for both 300 mm and 600 mm deep rack
• Define extra front side cabling space for accommodating optical and electrical I/O cables
• 300 mm/600 mm commonalities (e.g. doors, feet, rack alarm indicator strip, etc.) provide various options for
cost reduction due to higher volume and cost reduction, lower CAPEX due to less complexity and simplified
logistics for deployment
The present document applies to all telecommunication equipment forming part of the public telecommunications
network.
The present document is part 6 of a multi-part deliverable. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [i.1].

National transposition dates
Date of adoption of this EN: 19 February 2015
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 31 May 2015
Date of latest publication of new National Standard

Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "may not", "need", "need not", "will",
"will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms
for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.

1 Scope
The present document details requirements for racks and cabinets with extended features supplied unequipped. The
racks/cabinets with extended features can be used for housing telecommunication equipment forming part of a public
telecommunication network installed either on the public telecommunication operators' sites or in the premises of
operator's customers. The racks/cabinets with extended features allow to accommodate various equipment, e.g. subracks
(see ETSI EN 300 119-4 [i.4]) and have provisions for doors or covers.
ETSI EN 300 119-1 [i.1] defines the meaning of rack or cabinet in the context of the present document.
