Overview

EN IEC 60297-3-110:2018 (IEC 60297-3-110) defines the mechanical dimensions and installation practices for 482.6 mm (19 in) series residential racks and cabinets intended for smart houses (and by extension smart-city residential infrastructure). The standard covers physical dimensions, mounting and fixing positions, equipment categories, environmental protection performance levels and safety aspects specific to residential deployments.

Key Topics

• Standardized dimensions for 19 in residential racks and cabinets (part of the IEC 60297 series), enabling interoperable mounting of home-network and smart-home equipment.
• Arrangement and mounting guidance including typical layouts (e.g., examples for 2 000 mm / 40U form factors), recommended mounting locations and fixing positions.
• Installation requirements for both racks and cabinets covering how devices should be secured within residential environments.
• Environmental aspects: definition of environmental protection performance levels appropriate for indoor residential use.
• Safety aspects: requirements to ensure mechanical safety, secure installation and safe operation in homes.
• Equipment categories and their recommended mounting locations (network gateways, smart-meter interfaces, distribution modules, IoT hubs, etc.).
• Informative annexes with application examples under local construction regulations and home-network guides.

Applications and Who Uses It

This standard is practical for professionals involved in delivering smart-home infrastructure and residential network installations:

• Manufacturers of residential racks, enclosures and cabinets who need compliant dimensions and mounting interfaces.
• System integrators and installers deploying home gateways, smart meters, home-energy management systems (HEMS), and IoT equipment.
• Building engineers and architects specifying equipment locations in new or retrofitted homes.
• Procurement and regulatory bodies that require consistent, safe enclosures for smart-house services.
• Smart-city planners coordinating standardized residential nodes across neighborhoods.

Practical uses include mounting broadband gateways, home automation controllers, power-management devices, fiber termination panels and small distribution panels in a compact, secure, and standardized 19 in residential cabinet or rack.

Related Standards (if applicable)

Key normative references and related standards cited include:

• IEC/EN 60297-3-100 (basic 19 in front-panel and rack dimensions)
• IEC 60917 (modular order for mechanical structures)
• IEC 61587-1 / -2 / -3 (environmental, seismic and EMC tests for cabinets and racks)
• IEC 60917-2-5 (cabinet interface dimensions for miscellaneous equipment)

By adopting EN IEC 60297-3-110, manufacturers and integrators can ensure dimensionally compatible, safe and environmentally appropriate residential racks and cabinets for the growing smart-house ecosystem.

Keywords: Racks, Residential, Cabinets, Smart house, 19 in, residential rack, home network.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC Na
