What Defines a 19" Rackmount Industrial PC?
A 19-inch rackmount industrial PC (IPC) is far more than just a computer inside a metal enclosure. While standard PCs quickly reach their limits when exposed to dust, vibrations, and high temperatures, our rack systems provide maximum reliability. The standardized design enables seamless integration into standard IT racks and industrial control cabinets.
The Key Advantages at a Glance:
-
Ruggedness:
Shock- and vibration-resistant enclosures with protection against dust and moisture.
-
Scalability:
Flexible expansion options with numerous PCI/PCIe slots for measurement cards or GPU accelerators.
-
Long-Term Availability:
Industrial-grade components that can be supplied identically for many years – ideal for certified systems and machinery.
-
Efficient Cooling:
Optimized airflow concepts, optionally with easy-to-maintain filters or as completely fanless systems.
Tailor-Made Configurations: From 1U to 4U
Depending on the available installation space and required computing power, we offer various rack unit sizes (U):
1U & 2U Rackmount PCs:
Compact solutions for space-critical applications, often used as firewalls, gateways, or for data acquisition.
4U Industrial Systems:
The industrial "workhorse." Provides maximum space for full-size expansion cards, redundant power supplies, and extensive RAID storage solutions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About 19" Industrial PCs
Which processors are used in rackmount IPCs?
We offer the full range from energy-efficient Intel Atom® and Core™ i3/i5/i7 processors up to high-end Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors for server applications.
Are fanless systems available?
Yes, especially in the 1U and 2U segment we offer fanless models that dissipate heat through passive cooling heatsinks, minimizing maintenance requirements (no filter replacement needed).
Can the IPCs be individually configured?
Absolutely. IPC2U specializes in Build-to-Order (BTO) solutions. We customize RAM, SSD storage (industrial grade), operating systems (Windows IoT, Linux), and interfaces precisely according to your requirements.
Where can I find distributors for 19" rackmount industrial PCs in Germany?
IPC2U is your direct partner and distributor based in Germany. We provide technical consulting, support, and system assembly from a single source.
