Designing a colocation cage isn't just about building walls; it's about creating a secure, accessible, and efficient environment that protects critical equipment and supports day-to-day operations. At WireCrafters, we’ve spent decades helping businesses design customized solutions that balance protection and performance. Here's how to approach your cage design with both security and functionality in mind.
Before measuring a single inch of floor space, it’s essential to understand the specific needs of your data environment. Are you housing a few racks or building out a large-scale deployment? Will multiple clients need secure access to different parts of the same room? The answers to these questions drive everything from layout and access points to material selection.
This is where a custom wire partition system becomes invaluable. WireCrafters’ modular design allows for complete customization without sacrificing structural integrity or future flexibility. You’re not stuck with off-the-shelf components; we build them to your blueprint.
Security is the top priority in any colocation space. WireCrafters cages are built using our Style 840 Wire Partition System, which features robust steel mesh panels welded securely into frames. This deters unauthorized access and provides visibility for monitoring, which is often required in shared facilities.
Panels can extend from floor to ceiling or even integrate with your existing infrastructure. Need added protection? We can fit your enclosure with tamper-proof hardware, heavy-duty padlock hasps, and electronic access control options, all designed to blend seamlessly into the cage design.
A secure cage is only as valid as it is accessible to people at the right time. We recommend identifying your access points early. Will a single entry exist, or do you need multiple doors for technicians and facility staff?
Our hinged and sliding doors are available in standard or custom widths to accommodate anything from a single person to full rack roll-ins. Need multi-level access controls or badge entry compatibility? No problem. We can integrate your existing security system into the cage.
One of the often-overlooked benefits of wire mesh is airflow. Unlike solid panels, our partitions allow HVAC systems to operate effectively without costly adjustments. That’s good news for cooling your racks and your budget.
If privacy is a concern, we offer sheet metal options limiting visibility while supporting ventilation. It’s about finding the right mix of discretion and design.
Cable management, lighting, fire suppression, and camera sightlines are often an afterthought, but they can make or break a cage’s performance. We work with you to anticipate these details during the design phase so you're not forced into retrofits later.
WireCrafters’ cage systems are designed to accommodate raised flooring, overhead cable trays, and in-cage infrastructure. Everything fits cleanly, securely, and with serviceability in mind.
Finally, your cage needs to grow with you. Whether expanding rack space, adding users, or moving to a different part of the facility, our modular systems make changes easy. That’s one of the most significant advantages of working with a company that builds everything in-house.
At WireCrafters, we don’t sell cookie-cutter cages; we engineer secure environments that evolve with your business.
Let’s discuss how we can help you create a secure and efficient space that supports your infrastructure now and in the future.
