Abstract

A relay rack includes a base, a pair of uprights, support gussets and a crossbar. The base is anchored to the ground. The uprights extend from the base to the crossbar. Support gussets stiffen the base and the uprights. The uprights and crossbar are formed such that any mechanical vibrations transmitted through the rack are continuously distributed through the rack members. The base is further stiffened by including a central member that stiffens the rack from deforming in the plane of the uprights.
