Novastar: Enhanced Design and Performance
nVent SCHROFF's Novastar range represents an innovative collection of 19” cabinets and accessories, designed for a variety of general electronic applications, including measurement control, testing systems, and laboratory equipment. The Novastar cabinets uniquely balance functionality and style, even without additional cladding parts, decorative frames, or doors.
Here are the key features and benefits:
Slim and Stable Frame Design:
Enhanced Load Bearing & Durability:
Customisable Mounting Options:

Offers the same load-bearing capability as the Heavy-Duty frame, with customizable 19” plane positioning.
Exceeding Standards:
SCHROFF Novastar cabinets have outperformed IEC standards in additional load tests, handling much higher loads without risk of deformation or collapse, ensuring reliable equipment performance.
Flexibility:
The SCHROFF Novastar frames can be customized with various mounting options, including additional stiffening, different base plate mounts, and customer-specific parts like monitors or laptops.
Mobility:
Integrated feet and castor fixing options provide flexibility in room layout, and the cabinets can also be attached to pallets for secure transport.
Depth Customisation:
System designers can adjust cabinet depth by changing the intermediate profile between the front and rear frames while maintaining consistent mechanical features and mounting positions.
Stacking Capability:
SCHROFF Novastar cabinets can be stacked without modifications, offering a range of options for modular design, including vertical stacking kits and side-by-side connections.
User-Friendly Features:
