Pelican BLACKBOX-5U-SAE BlackBox5U Light-Duty Rackmount Case (5 RU)

Reliable Rack Case for Sensitive Equipment

The Pelican BLACKBOX-5U-SAE is a rugged 5U rackmount case built to safeguard sensitive electronics during transport and storage. Designed with a textured roto-molded shell and a steel rack frame, this case combines durability with practicality, making it ideal for professionals who require light-duty yet dependable protection for their gear. With a 24-inch depth and double-ended access, the case provides flexibility and reliability in demanding environments.

Lightweight and Compact for Field Use

This rack case is engineered for mobility without compromising strength. The BlackBox construction uses Black-463 blended resin, which is both lightweight and durable, while the integrated steel frame provides a stable mounting solution for rack-compatible gear. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for frequent travel and deployment, especially where space efficiency matters.

Shockmount System for Added Protection

Inside the case, eight cylindrical elastomeric shock mounts isolate mounted equipment from impacts and vibrations. This feature is critical when transporting sensitive audio, video, communications, or scientific systems that must remain stable in unpredictable conditions. The shock-absorbing design reduces the risk of damage and helps ensure equipment remains operational when it arrives on-site.

Convenient Transport and Handling Options

To improve portability, the BLACKBOX-5U-SAE is fitted with eight plastic comfort grip handles. These handles are strategically positioned on each lid and body panel, allowing multiple users to lift and carry the case with ease. For heavier loads or long distances, the molded-in 3.25-inch rolling wheels provide smooth movement, reducing strain while keeping the case maneuverable across different surfaces.

Engineered for Real-World Demands

This case includes a pressure relief valve (PRV) with a closed-loop gasket, preventing internal pressure buildup while maintaining a reliable seal. Swivel lid hanger hardware in both lids keeps the lids secure when open, while non-locking hardware ensures quick access to the interior. Together, these features create a versatile and functional case suitable for transport, field use, and long-term storage.

Designed with Sustainability in Mind

Pelican has incorporated recycled materials into the BlackBox shell, reducing waste while maintaining the high durability standards associated with the brand. The combination of eco-conscious design and rugged construction ensures long service life while minimizing environmental impact. Professionals can rely on this case to deliver long-term protection with value and performance in mind.
