Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KRACKC1 is a standard 8-unit rack mount kit for ZyPer4K encoders and decoders, providing structured rack housing for AV-over-IP endpoint installations in professional equipment rooms and IDF closets. Occupying 5RU of 19-inch rack space, this AV encoder rack carrier kit organizes up to 8 ZyPer4K endpoints in a clean, serviceable configuration. It is the standard capacity option for most mid-size ZyPer4K deployments.

Product Description

The Z4KRACKC1 includes a 5RU rack assembly chassis and 8 individual carrier units, each accommodating one ZyPer4K encoder or decoder of any type. Any combination of copper and fiber ZyPer4K endpoints can be installed in the same rack kit, making it flexible for mixed-infrastructure deployments. Standard 19-inch rack compatibility supports installation in equipment rooms, IDF closets, and AV head-end racks across commercial, government, and educational facilities. Consolidating endpoints in a dedicated rack carrier improves cable organization, simplifies service access, and supports professional installation documentation. Power is provided by the network switch via PoE for copper models, or by the Z4KPWRCTR12 power center for fiber and non-PoE endpoints; neither is included with this kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Z4KRACKC1 and Z4KRACKC2?The Z4KRACKC1 is the standard kit holding 8 endpoints in 5RU. The Z4KRACKC2 is the extended kit holding 10 endpoints in approximately 5U-6U. The Z4KRACKC1 is appropriate for most single-rack endpoint groups; the Z4KRACKC2 is used when higher per-rack density is required.Does the Z4KRACKC1 include power supplies?No. Copper PoE endpoints draw power from the network switch. Fiber and non-PoE endpoints require 12V DC power, available from the Z4KPWRCTR12 power center, which pairs well with the Z4KRACKC1 (1 power center supports up to 8 devices).Can I install a mix of encoders and decoders in the same kit?Yes. The Z4KRACKC1 accepts any combination of ZyPer4K encoder and decoder models, including copper and fiber variants.Is this rack kit compatible with ZyPer4K-XR and ZyPer4K-XS devices?The Z4KRACKC1 is designed for ZyPer4K endpoints. Confirm compatibility with ZyPer4K-XR and XS form factors in the ZeeVee product documentation before specifying for those models.What rack infrastructure is required?A standard 19-inch equipment rack capable of accommodating a 5RU chassis. The kit includes all mounting hardware.
