Schroff #1086

Schroff (nVent Schroff) is a German manufacturer of electronic and electrical enclosures: 19-inch racks, cabinets, instrument enclosures, climate control systems, and power supplies. It is known as one of the pioneers of the 19-inch rack standard, which is widely used, among other things, for mounting audio, lighting, and networking equipment.

The company was founded in 1962 by Gunther Schroff and initially produced only power supplies. By the mid-1960s, its flagship product was the Europac Rack, and through participation in international standardization bodies (IEC), Schroff became one of the standard-setters for the 19-inch rack format and its mounting dimensions (RU/TE). From 1994 to 2018, the brand was part of the British conglomerate Pentair, and after Pentair's split on April 30, 2018, it moved to nVent Electric, where it now operates under the nVent Schroff brand.
