Order Secure Cabinet Express

Order Secure Cabinet Express, our business-ready cabinet with the most frequently deployed cabinet specifications. It includes an Equinix-supplied cabinet with 1200 mm minimum depth to accommodate most equipment needs.

The user account you plan to use to place your order, must have the Colocation Ordering permission assigned to it.

  1. Authenticate - Submit your user credentials, Client ID, and Client Secret for OAuth2 authentication. Refer to API Authentication for instructions on how to call the OAuth API to validate and authenticate your credentials.

  2. You can find eligible billing account information from the /finance/accounts endpoint. You need a billing account registered for the country where you want to order colocation assets or add-ons.
