WireCrafters Style 840 Woven Wire Server Cages

WireCrafters Super Strong Style 840 Wire Security Server Cage

 

WireCrafters Style 840 Woven Wire Server Cage, Secure Colocation & Data Center Wire Enclosure 

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.

Server cage panels bolt together and ship pre-sized, so no cutting or grinding is required, and all necessary hardware is included. A cage is only as secure as its weakest fastener, so hardware placement matters most: all assembly hardware sits inside the enclosure, accessible only from the secured side. Standard 3/8" mounting hardware is described by WireCrafters as the heaviest in the industry, with heavy-duty options available.

Construction uses 10-gauge wire woven into a 2" x 1" rectangular mesh, framed in a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1/8" hot-rolled angle, with a welded flat stiffener bar added on larger panels. Panels bolt directly to 2" square, 14-gauge steel tube posts. Posts include a welded base plate and floor anchors, and can be paired with an extra base plate to sandwich a data center floor for a strong connection that does not damage it. Ceilings are available as an option.

Doors go beyond standard hinged and sliding to include vertical-rise, motorized sliding, and double-hinged styles, with locks ranging from basic key locks to self-closing doors, keypad locks, card readers, fingerprint scanners, and emergency exit push bars. Eight standard powder coat colors are available in-house, with custom color matching from a paint chip or RAL number.


Key Server Cage Features:

♦ Twenty standard sized panels, 4'-0" or 5'-0" high, 1'-0" to 10'-0" wide
♦ Stack two or more panels between posts to reach wall height
♦ Standard size panels work in both ceilings and walls
♦ Custom size panels and special heights available
♦ Hinged, double hinged, sliding, and vertical rise doors available
♦ Sliding doors use a patented tamper-resistant latch mechanism
♦ Angle frame design gives installers clear access to hardware, speeding installation
♦ Assembly hardware is inaccessible from the secured side of the partition
♦ Panels may be ordered with mesh, expanded metal, sheet metal, or clear polycarbonate


Product Lines:

WireCrafters Style 840 woven wire partitions in four wall configurations: 1-wall, which fits between two existing walls to secure aisles and pallet rack rows; 2-wall, which fits a corner using two existing walls or installs free-standing; 3-wall, which fits against existing walls or installs as a free-standing unit; and 4-wall, a fully enclosed configuration available with or without a ceiling.


Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Wall configuration: choose based on how many sides of the enclosure need to be existing walls versus wire partition panels.
♦ Door and lock security: choose from basic key locks up to keypad, card reader, or fingerprint access based on your facility’s security requirements.
♦ Panel material: choose standard wire mesh, expanded metal, sheet metal, or clear polycarbonate based on visibility and security needs.


Where Commonly Used:

Server cages separate customer-specific equipment within shared facilities, support tenant growth and re-stacking in colocation facilities, enable client tours and audits in hosting environments, and maintain airflow and fire suppression coverage in network equipment rooms.

A server cage is defeated at its weakest fastener, not its strongest panel, so where the bolts sit matters more than the mesh gauge. Our Wire Partitions & Security Cages guide covers inside-only hardware, posts, and floor mounting so you can judge a cage beyond its headline specification.

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.
