These shapes are for drawing schemas of 19" racks, rack accessories and rack mounted equipment. Only few items are done so far, but you may try to use shapes from sheets by other authors, notably Central Data Processing sheet by Leonardo O. Martins.
Latest versions are available at http://www.eowyn.cz/dia
Dimensions used in the shape files are in decimeters, i.e. 1 == 100mm. All standardized dimensions are represented (I hope) exactly, with the exception that equipment height is in exact multiplies of rack unit (0.4445) and the 1/32" gap used to prevent binding is ignored.
rack_42u ... rack_12u - 600mm racks in some common sizes (as offered by Schroff(tm))
equipment_1u ... equipment_12u - stylised equipment boxes of sizes from 1U to 12U
power_strip_ute_8 - power strip with 8 Type E or Type E+F sockets, the most common in Europe. power_strip_schuko_8 - power strip with 8 Type F sockets (Germany?) power_strip_bs_7 - power strip with 7 Type G (British standard) sockets
rack_label_anchors_42u - 42U high measure with anchors for labels etc.
- more rack accessories (patch panels, fiber organizers, shelves, kbd, monitor, ...)
- more power socket types (American, ...)
- some recognizable devices (server, router, switch, ...)
- rails and equipment with holes
- rack door (glass, perforated)
- 800mm racks
- it would be better to generate appropriate rack and equipment sizes instead
