Data Center Colocation Cage Suites

As part of the colocation service, K2 Colocation provides customers with the option of a Cage Suite - two contiguous rows of private Cabinets with an enclosed aisle. The Cage Suite is designed to offer customers the price points associated with private Cages along with some of the flexibility and accessibility options associated with a FlexCage. The resulting solution is ideal for use as transitional space for growing customers or as a permanent home for customer equipment, depending on the particular needs.

Custom Cage Suite space can be configured to almost any size a customer requires of at least 4 Cage footprints or greater. Any additions to the footprint size must be in pairs of Cage footprints. While there is no size limit per se, the ultimate size is limited by local code, prudent engineering and the unique requirements of particular facility.

A standard Cage Suite installation includes construction of mesh doors at the ends of double rows of Cages, placement of the required number of private Cages and the installation of one 20 amp 120 volt power feed per Cage footprint. Limitations on circuit density in a Cage Suite correspond exactly to the limitations on circuit density in a private Cage per facility standards. The Cage Suite differs from the FlexCage in that the backs of the private Cages form the outside walls of the customer space. Only the aisle between rows of Cages is actually enclosed by steel mesh.
