Secure Cabinet Express
Secure Cabinet Express is 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.
For more customized cabinet solutions, see Secure Cabinet With kVA-Based Power and Secure Cabinet - Using Customer-Provided Cabinet.
Secure Cabinet Express is designed to suit your changing digital infrastructure requirements through Equinix’s selection of optimal product configurations (cabinet, electrical circuits, and cabinet mounted PDUs). The standardized cabinet is interconnection ready with internal configuration flexibility.
It can be purchased by existing and new customers through the Equinix Customer Portal.
You can order more than one Secure Cabinet Express in an IBX, and those cabinets may or may not be installed in the same secure area. Multiple Secure Cabinet Express cabinets installed in the same secure area will have an aggregate draw cap.
Equinix performs all installations of cabinets and power circuits.

Power Requirements
Every Secure Cabinet Express has a draw cap. Measured in kVA, a draw cap represents the maximum power draw supportable and contractually allowable in the Secure Cabinet Express. Equinix chooses a primary and redundant circuit pairing that does not exceed the maximum cabinet rating of the IBX.
You can choose to use your own PDUs or the standardized Equinix PDUs.
Power is pre-approved for 5-7 kVA. You can request power above the pre-approved limit, subject to Capacity Feasibility Review (CFR).

Interconnection
Each Secure Cabinet Express includes a network demarcation point comprising a single mode fiber patch panel by default, from which cross connects can be ordered. A cross connect allows the originating user (A-side) to connect a physical media cable to another user (Z-side).
Equinix requires that all cross connects be delivered via an Equinix-approved demarcation point. As a standard practice across our global IBX data centers, Equinix provides in-cabinet demarcation panels for the Secure Cabinet products.
See Cross Connects for more information.

Additional services that complement the Secure Cabinet products include installation, configuration, and maintenance of a range of accessories, such as:
- Cable management inside the closed cabinet
- Patch panels and cables
- Cabinet accessories, like shelves and screws
