Schroff discontinues Eurorack cabinets – ELTRON supports customers in selecting alternative solutions

nVent SCHROFF has announced the end of production of one of its longest-running product lines – the Eurorack electronics cabinets. The solution, which debuted in the 1980s, will be completely phased out by the end of 2025.

End-of-life (EOL) schedule

  • End of acceptance of new requests for quotation (RFQ): immediately
  • Last time buy: until 30 September 2025
  • Last Ship: 31 December 2025

Until then, all confirmed orders and current offers, as well as ongoing projects, will be fulfilled.

Alternatives to Eurorack

nVent SCHROFF recommends switching to modern enclosure systems:

  • Varistar CP IP20 – steel enclosures with a wide range of applications and full accessory compatibility,
  • Novastar – aluminium enclosures offering similar functionality to Eurorack.

Both solutions offer high configuration flexibility and access to a wide range of accessories that have been used in Eurorack to date.

What changes will this mean in practice?

  • Projects requiring wider enclosures (>600 mm) should be transferred to Varistar CP.
  • EMC solutions can be replaced with Varistar CP.
  • Novastar and Varistar CP remain compatible with most Eurorack accessories.
  • After 2026, the availability of spare parts for Eurorack will be limited to stock levels.
