Abstract

A subrack assembly (1) comprising a subrack (3) comprising two top rails (9), two bottom rails (7) and side elements (5), at least one rigidifying frame (21) comprising a front crossbeam, a rear crossbeam and two side beams; and at least one connector (70) for connecting the rigidifying frame (21) to the top and/or bottom of the subrack (3), comprising at least one movable block movable in translation relative to the rigidifying frame (21) between an insertion position, in which it is spaced away from the subrack (3) and a use position, in which it bears against the subrack (3). The connector (70) is configured for connecting the rigidifying frame (21) to the top and/or bottom of the subrack (3) such that the front and rear crossbeams each extend substantially parallel to a top or bottom rail (7, 9) of the subrack (3) and in alignment therewith along a vertical direction.
