Abstract

A rack for a switching cabinet having vertical frame pieces. The vertical frame pieces have two protruding fastening elements, both of which contain a fastening section which is mounted parallel to the associated outer edges of the rack and a profiled side which is vertical to the associated outer edges of the rack. The fastening section and the profile edges have rows of fastening cavities spaced at equal distances from each other. This invention provides greater opportunity for mounting built-in fixtures on the rack frame when the distance between the profiled sides of one fastening attachment and the fastening sections of the other fastening attachment is the same as the distance between the fastening cavities or the space corresponds to a multiple of the dividing gap.
