One rack unit is commonly designated as "1U"; similarly, 2 rack units are "2U" and so on. The size of a piece of rack mounted equipment is usually described as a number in "U". Professional audio and video gear often comes with rack mount options and use the same measurement specifications. Half-rack units typically describe units that fit in a certain number of RU, but occupy only half the width of the rack (9.5 inches). For example, a "4U half-rack" DVCAM deck would occupy 4U space (4 × 1.75 inches) height × 9.5 inches width. In theory, two half-rack decks could occupy the 4U space. Interestingly, a rack unit is equal to a Vershok , which is an obsolete Russian length unit. EXTERNAL LINKS |
