Crestron CAEN-CK-7X2 – Cover Extension Kit for CAEN/CAENIB-7X2 Enclosure

Product Overview

The Crestron CAEN-CK-7X2 is a cover extension kit for the CAEN-7X2 and CAENIB-7X2 Crestron Automation Enclosures. It provides an extended-depth enclosure cover that accommodates modules or wiring that exceed the standard enclosure depth, allowing integrators to close and secure the enclosure properly when deeper components are installed. This kit is an essential finishing piece for installations using the 14-slot (7-module high, 2-module wide) automation enclosure format.

Product Description

Crestron Automation Enclosures (CAEN series) are modular wall-mount enclosures designed to house Crestron control modules, power supplies, and interface cards in a neat, organized panel. When the installed modules or cable bundles protrude beyond the standard enclosure depth, the standard cover cannot seat properly. The CAEN-CK-7X2 provides the additional depth needed to fully enclose these components, maintaining a clean installation appearance and protecting internal wiring and modules from physical damage and dust. It is designed exclusively for use with the CAEN-7X2 and CAENIB-7X2 enclosure chassis.

Key Features

FAQs

Will the CAEN-CK-7X2 work with the CAEN-7X1 or CAENIB-7X1 enclosure?

No. The CAEN-CK-7X2 is specifically designed for the 2-module-wide (7X2) enclosure format. For the single-wide (7X1) enclosures, use the CAEN-CK-7X1 extension kit instead.

Is this kit required for every CAEN-7X2 installation?

No. The extension kit is only needed when installed modules or cable routing cause the standard cover to not close properly. If all modules fit within the standard enclosure depth, the standard cover supplied with the CAEN-7X2 is sufficient.

Does this kit include the mounting hardware?

Refer to the Crestron product datasheet for the CAEN-CK-7X2 for included hardware details. In most cases, the kit includes the extended cover panel and fasteners needed to secure it to the CAEN-7X2 enclosure chassis.
