Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN DKB02 Keyboard Drawer?
The nVent HOFFMAN DKB02 is a compact 1 U 19-inch keyboard drawer designed for installing a narrow keyboard used with a PC, server or industrial control system. It mounts directly between existing front and rear 19-inch profiles, providing operators with convenient keyboard access while keeping the equipment neatly stored when it is not required.
Manufactured from 1.25 mm steel and finished in RAL 7035 light grey, the DKB02 is engineered for professional floor-standing enclosure and rack installations. The drawer uses telescopic rails so it can be smoothly extended for operation and retracted after use, helping conserve valuable space around control and IT equipment.
The manufacturer's specified dimensions are 32 × 406 × 182 mm (H × W × D), rather than the supplied 450 mm width. The DKB02 occupies 1 U of rack height and is supplied complete with telescopic rails and fixing accessories for integration into compatible 19-inch enclosure systems.

Space-Efficient Keyboard Access for Industrial Enclosures
Rack-mounted computer and control equipment often requires occasional local keyboard access without permanently occupying valuable working space. A retractable keyboard drawer provides an organised solution by positioning the keyboard within the enclosure and allowing it to be extended only when an operator needs to interact with the installed system.
The nVent HOFFMAN DKB02 mounts directly between front and rear 19-inch profiles and occupies only 1 U of rack space. Its telescopic mechanism provides convenient operator access while allowing the tray to be stored neatly within the enclosure after use. Front and rear 19-inch mounting profiles are required for installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial PC installations.
- Server and network enclosures.
- Industrial control-system cabinets.
