WireCrafters Colocation Cages

Colocation cages are specifically designed for data centers that need to house and separate clients’ IT equipment. These cages use modular, stackable panels made from high-quality steel wire mesh that mount between tubular posts with welded baseplates anchored directly to the floor. Additionally, the open mesh construction promotes optimal airflow and visibility, which is essential for maintaining proper ventilation and monitoring within data centers.

Security Features

Advanced Equipment can build smaller colo cages or full-height slab-to-slab security rooms with man and equipment traps. Solid wall panels are also available to prevent unauthorized surveillance and give your clients more privacy.

Data center cages are easy to customize and reconfigure in a dynamic tenant environment where security protocols and infrastructure demands are constantly changing. Features include:

2-by-1-in 10-gauge steel woven wire mesh welded to a steel angle frame
2-by-2-in 14-gauge steel tube mounting posts
Available Options: Solid expanded metal, sheet metal, or clear polycarbonate panels
Sliding, hinged, double-hinged, or vertical-rise doors
Lock options like standard key, keypad, card reader, or biometric scanner

We can also provide customized welded and woven wire mesh strengths and sizes suited to your particular security requirements.

Regulatory Compliance

Colocation data centers must adhere to strict physical security and access control regulations to protect their client’s data and equipment. Secure colo cages can help your facility stay in compliance with the following:

SOC 2 Type II
ISO/IEC 27001
PCI DSS
HIPAA
FISMA

If your data center houses government-related infrastructure, our colo cages help you adhere to NIST 800-53, as well.

Colo Cage Benefits

The 10-gauge steel wire mesh that makes up colocation cages is a formidable barrier, and the open design allows you to continuously monitor for unauthorized access attempts. The wire mesh also won’t restrict the airflow necessary to prevent equipment from overheating.

In addition, data center cages provide an added layer of physical protection against accidental damage, and ceiling panels and solid walls can help slow the spread of fire or smoke. Furthermore, cages help contain security incidents like physical tampering, theft, and malicious insider access.
