ESSENTIAL HABITECH Sanus has come up with design epiphanies that make installing an equipment rack or TV easy, reliable and faff-free
ZEN AND THE ART OF SYSTEM SUPPORT A Zen-like re-thinking of racks and mounts means faster, easier and more durable installations and an end to faff, says Habitech’s SANUS product manager Mike Clayton. For all their individuality, every dream home project has its ‘groundhog days’ of laboured repetition, essential to success but tedious to the max - and sadly unavoidable. At some glorious future juncture, an AI will emerge to chase cable through walls, terminate wires or build an equipment rack while you sip a mint julep. Until then we’ll have to rely on the most enterprising brands and distis working hard to reduce the faff for integrators. The SANUS line of racks and mounts is a case in point. SANUS feels your pain, meditates on the problems, simplifies the issues and gifts you with shortcuts to completion with a kind of Zenlike efficiency. By turning simplification into an artform, our latest infrastructure champion offers you inspirational new ways to save time, cut costs and boost rewards. In choosing SANUS, you’ll conquer the small stuff without breaking a sweat. This is because SANUS has done all the fieldwork for you. Sharing vast engineering R&D with the formidable Legrand brand stable, it’s come up with design epiphanies that make installing an equipment rack or TV easy, reliable and faff-free. Just what you need when all hell is breaking loose on site. And with over fifty engineers on the development team optimising design feedback from a network of operating facilities worldwide, you’ll know that SANUS tech will always deliver a durable high-quality result in the fastest time. SANUS puts you in mind, so you’ve fewer things to think about.

And for extra reassurance you get a whopping 10-year limited warranty as well. It’s a win-win wherever you look.
gauge welded steel construction provides years of trouble-free service while the quick-release, removable back and side panels allow complete access to components and wiring for upgrades or fixes. The CFR2100 Series also features added cooling vents top and bottom for improved ventilation, and newly redesigned shelves include protective back stops to ensure that equipment does not slip or slide.
