Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that it has a capacity of 12U?
"U" stands for "rack unit," a standard measurement in the professional audio industry. One rack unit is equivalent to 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in height. Therefore, this case can house equipment with a total height of up to 12 rack units.

Are the screws for mounting the equipment in the rack included?
Yes, a full set of screws, cage nuts, and washers is usually included so you can securely install your equipment as soon as you receive the case.

Is it possible to safely stack multiple PD-FU12 cases?
Yes, the steel ball corner protectors are designed to fit together, allowing multiple units to be stacked stably and securely during transport or storage.

Is the interior padded?
The case's design focuses on external structural protection and securely attaching equipment to the rails. It does not include internal foam padding, as it is designed for rack-mounted equipment that bolts directly to the rack.
