WireCrafters Style 840 Woven Wire Server Cages

WireCrafters Super Strong Style 840 Wire Security Server Cage

WireCrafters Style 840 woven wire partitions provide an economical way to separate and secure customer-specific server or network equipment. The system is easy to reconfigure and can divide an entire hosting facility while keeping the space open, so light, HVAC, and fire suppression can circulate throughout the server area. The open construction also gives clients visible confidence in your facility’s security.

Welded and woven mesh fail differently. In welded mesh, the wires fuse at every intersection into a rigid sheet, making it lighter, faster to assemble, and less expensive for the same enclosed area. The trade-off is that cutting a weld releases that intersection, so a determined attack progresses faster than through heavy-duty 2" x 1" woven mesh, where a single cut doesn't open a hole. That is why this cage fits separation and traffic control better than theft prevention, and why the door and lock carry most of the access control.

All panels and posts are numbered for easy assembly. WireCrafters states its standard 3/8" assembly hardware is the heaviest in the industry, and all erection hardware, including concrete floor anchors, is included. Standard color is gray.


Product Lines:
WireCrafters Style 840 RapidWire welded wire fencing in four wall configurations: 1-wall, which fits between two existing walls; 2-wall, which fits a corner or stands free; 3-wall, which fits against one wall or stands as a free-standing unit; and 4-wall, a fully enclosed medium-duty cage.


Selecting the Right Type:
♦ Security level: choose 2" x 2" welded wire when the goal is separation and traffic control, such as walling off a storage room, equipment area, or contractor space, and heavy-duty 2" x 1" woven mesh when theft or abuse is the concern.
♦ Contents: welded wire suits bulky, low-value, or hard-to-move items.
♦ Budget and schedule: choose it when cost and installation speed carry more weight than security rating.
♦ Wall configuration, choose 1, 2, 3, or 4-wall based on how many sides of the enclosure your building already provides.


Where Commonly Used:
RapidWire cages are used in tool cribs and maintenance cages, in warehouse and manufacturing storage areas as free-standing multi-use enclosures, in inventory control areas that limit open access to product, and in lighter-duty security applications that do not require heavy-duty woven mesh.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a wire server cage?

A wire server cage is a woven wire partition system that separates and secures customer-specific server or network equipment inside a shared facility. It is built from 10-gauge wire in a 2" x 1" rectangular mesh, framed in 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1/8" hot-rolled angle and bolted to 2" square, 14-gauge steel tube posts. CustomMHS carries the full line of WireCrafters server cage systems, backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Why use wire rather than solid walls in a data center?

Airflow and fire suppression are the reasons. Server equipment generates heat continuously, and a solid enclosure interrupts the air handling the room was designed around. Wire construction lets light, HVAC, and fire suppression circulate through the space, so the cage does not require revisiting the cooling design or the sprinkler layout. Visibility also matters during client tours and audits, where an open cage lets a customer see their own equipment.

What door and lock options are available?

The range is wider than most partition systems. Doors include hinged, double-hinged, sliding, vertical rise, and motorized sliding, with sliding doors using a patented tamper-resistant latch. Locks run from a basic key lock through self-closing doors, keypad locks, card readers, fingerprint scanners, and emergency exit push bars. Match the access method to how many people need entry and how often, since a card reader on a rarely used cage adds cost without adding much.

How do server cages help your facility?

For colocation and hosting providers, individually secured cages let multiple customers share one room while each keeps controlled access to their own equipment, which is what makes the shared model workable. Panels ship pre-sized and bolt together with all hardware included, so no cutting or grinding happens on site, and the same standard panels work in both walls and ceilings. Because the system is reconfigurable, a facility can re-stack as tenants grow or leave rather than rebuilding. Assembly hardware sits inside the enclosure as well, so nothing can be unbolted from the aisle side.

How difficult is installation?

The panels bolt together cleanly, so most maintenance teams install the system without special tools or equipment. Panels attach to posts using standard hand tools. Because the same panel sizes work for both walls and ceilings, panels stack to reach the required height, which keeps the parts list simple and the enclosure consistent from one section to the next.
