Overview

The Adam Hall Transverse Separating Web is a utility component intended for professionals managing rack-mounted setups in studio or live environments. It serves as a divider that fits across the interior width of a standard 19-inch rack drawer, specifically those with a 2U vertical height. The primary purpose of this accessory is to prevent small items such as connectors, cables, or small tools from moving around during transit, ensuring organized storage within a larger rack case.

Design and Functionality

The product features a modular design based on interlocking strips. These strips are manufactured to be easily modified by the user; they can be broken down into smaller sections using a simple 'score and snap' process. This flexibility allows for the creation of bespoke internal layouts tailored to specific equipment dimensions. While often pictured in sets of four to demonstrate grid configurations, the product is sold as a single transverse divider.

Application and Use Cases

This separating web is ideally suited for technicians, sound engineers, and touring professionals who utilize rack drawers like the Adam Hall 19" Steel Rack Drawer 3U or similar 2U units. By partitioning the drawer, it transforms a large, empty metal bin into a structured storage system. It is particularly effective for managing small, loose components that are otherwise difficult to locate in a deep drawer.

Comparison and Compatibility

Within the Adam Hall ecosystem, this accessory sits alongside other rack management solutions such as the Adam Hall 19" Rack Cradle and various rack strips (ranging from 20U to 45U). Unlike fixed-compartment drawers, the separating web offers a customisable alternative to permanent dividers. It is functionally similar to internal organisers found in premium flight cases but is designed specifically for standard rack-mount drawer dimensions. For users requiring full drawer units, it is often paired with the Omnitronic KE-1 or Adam Hall's own line of steel rack drawers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the primary purpose of the Adam Hall Transverse Separating Web?
It is designed to partition the interior of a 19-inch rack drawer into smaller, manageable sections. This helps in organising small equipment and preventing items from shifting during transport.
Which rack drawer height is this specific divider compatible with?
This particular model is designed for 2U (two rack units) height drawers. Using it in a 1U or 3U drawer may result in an improper fit regarding the vertical clearance.
How is the divider adjusted to fit specific needs?
The divider utilizes a 'score and snap' process. Users can break the interlocking strips down into smaller sections to create custom compartment sizes within the drawer.
Does a single purchase include enough strips for a full grid?
No, this product is sold as a single divider. To create a cross-hatched or grid-like layout as often seen in demonstration images, multiple units must be purchased.
What is the typical price for this accessory?
The typical price range for a single Adam Hall Transverse Separating Web is approximately GBP 5. Prices may vary slightly depending on the retailer and current stock levels.
Is this product compatible with non-Adam Hall rack drawers?
Yes, it is designed to fit the interior width of standard 19-inch rack drawers. However, it is always recommended to check the specific internal dimensions of drawers from other brands like Omnitronic to ensure a precise fit.
What material is the separating web made of?
While the manufacturer does not specify the exact polymer, it is designed as a rigid yet snappable strip that provides enough structural integrity to hold equipment in place while remaining easy to cut.
Can these be used for 3U rack drawers?
While the width may fit, this 2U version will not reach the full height of a 3U drawer. For a 3U drawer like the Adam Hall 19" Steel Rack Drawer 3U, a taller divider version is generally preferred.
How does the interlocking system work?
The strips feature slots that allow them to intersect with other strips at 90-degree angles. This allows the user to build a stable internal framework inside the drawer.
Is any special tooling required to shorten the strips?
No heavy machinery is required; the strips are designed to be scored with a blade and snapped by hand. This makes them highly accessible for quick field adjustments.
Does this product include the rack drawer itself?
No, this is an accessory only. The 19-inch rack drawer must be purchased separately to use this partitioning system.
Is the Transverse Separating Web suitable for heavy items?
It is primarily designed for 'small equipment' and lightweight accessories. For extremely heavy metal components, users should ensure the strips are securely interlocked to maintain the partition's shape.
