What is the minimum room size required for two 19-inch relay racks with vertical management panels and a vertical cable management panel?

Space for equipment plus access clearance determines the minimum room size. Two standard 19-inch relay racks require room for their footprints, plus front and rear working clearance and a vertical cable management panel between them. The front of the racks needs space to open doors and allow service access, while rear clearance accommodates cabling and cooling. When you add a vertical management panel between the two racks, the resulting footprint fits into a room about 2.4 meters wide and 3.0 meters deep. Any smaller width would squeeze the front access and the between-rack cabling path, while a smaller depth would struggle to fit the rack depths plus the required rear clearance. So, 2.4 m by 3.0 m is the practical minimum.
