A rack unit (10) includes a plurality of racks (12) which are separated from each other with partitions (22). Each rack (12) has shelving for supporting equipment and it has stainless steel sides, tops (18), and bottoms for securing the equipment within the rack (12). Access to each rack (12) is restricted through a lockable door, such as a lock (20) controlled by a smart card and smart card reader. The racks (12) have ventilated walls (12), shelves, and tops (18) to allow circulation through the racks (12) from all sides. The tops (18) of the racks (12) include a fan for directing air upwardly through each rack (12) in order to cool the equipment stored within each rack (12). The cabling leading to and from equipment within each rack (12) is directed to at least one ladder rack (24) with each rack (12) only having access to its own cables and not to cables leading to or from neighboring racks (12).
