General
Application	for Miracel 19"-profiles
Purpose	Positioning of installed devices

This product is a measuring tape for 19-inch profiles from Vertiv, specifically designed for mounting in server and network enclosures. It serves as an aid for precise positioning of installed devices at the correct HE position (Height Unit) within the rack. The measuring tape is applied directly onto Miracel 19-inch profiles, enabling quick and error-free alignment of devices without requiring additional measuring tools or markings. The standard length of the measuring tape is 1 to 48 HE, and it can be shortened as needed to match the specific enclosure height or required area.

Measuring tape for 19-inch profiles

The measuring tape is specifically developed for use with Miracel 19-inch profiles. It is applied directly onto the profile surface, providing a permanent and slip-resistant marking of the HE positions. The labeling is in HE units, with each unit corresponding to half an inch (1.27 cm). The marking starts at HE 1 and ends at HE 48, covering the standard height of many server and network enclosures. The cut-to-length feature allows for individual adaptation to smaller enclosures or specific mounting areas, thus avoiding material waste.

The measuring tape is used in IT infrastructure environments where precise device placement within the rack is required. It is particularly useful when installing network switches, servers, storage devices, or other 19-inch components. Using the measuring tape reduces installation time and minimizes positioning errors, as the HE positions are directly visible. It is suitable for all enclosure types that use Miracel 19-inch profiles and supports structured cabling and maintenance through clear visual orientation.

The measuring tape is a self-adhesive strip that can be easily applied to the profile surface. It is designed for permanent use and remains securely attached even with frequent handling or temperature fluctuations in server rooms. The labeling is clearly legible, enabling quick identification of the respective HE position. The standard length of 1 to 48 HE covers most common enclosure heights, while the cut-to-length feature allows flexible adaptation to individual requirements.

The HE unit (Height Unit) is the standard measurement unit for indicating device height in 19-inch racks. One HE equals 1.27 cm (0.5 inch). The measuring tape marks these units directly on the profile, allowing the installer to determine the exact position for device installation without additional measurement. The self-adhesive surface ensures the tape does not slip and remains stable even with frequent use. The cut-to-length feature enables customized application without wasting leftover material.

The measuring tape is specifically developed for Miracel 19-inch profiles and is applied directly onto these profiles. It is not intended for other profile types. Use with other profiles is not guaranteed and may result in inaccurate marking.

Installation is performed by applying the measuring tape onto the surface of the Miracel 19-inch profile. It is recommended to clean the surface beforehand to ensure optimal adhesion. The tape can be cut with a knife or scissors at the desired point to adjust the length to the specific enclosure height or required area. The labeling is pre-printed on the tape and displays the HE positions from 1 to 48.

The measuring tape reduces installation time when mounting devices in the rack, as no additional measurements or markings are required. The clear labeling of HE positions prevents placement errors and facilitates maintenance and expansion of the IT infrastructure. The cut-to-length feature enables flexible use, even in smaller enclosures or for partial marking. The self-adhesive surface ensures permanent and slip-resistant attachment, even under server room conditions.
