Disney Feature Animation conference room

Disney had a requirement to place a bunch of AV equipment in a low credenza pushed up against a wall. The floor was raised and so there was cable access from below. I suggested one of our custom swing rack installations which included the design, custom fabrication of the swing racks and custom fabrication of the console cabinetry. This is a good example of our custom mechanical fabrication ability.

Over the years I have built a number of custom swing rack installations like this to solve the frequent problem of no rear access. Around 1997 after several intense re-designs I settled on the final plan and released it as a "standard" product through our Signal Transport brand. (still available at Signal Transport) The design used here is a predecessor.
