Abstract
A switchgear cabinet or rack comprises a mounting unit with vertical mounting sections laterally delimiting a cabinet frame for installed user-side units, said sections having flat fixing sections that lie on a front mounting plane used to fix laterally projecting mounting sections of the installed units, and comprising components for determining the presence of an installed unit in an installation position of the cabinet frame. A vertical antenna strip contains antenna elements and code carriers as transponder elements. In order to ensure the secure installation and reliable functioning of the detection device, each transponder element is attached to the mounting section of the associated installed unit that adjoins the antenna strip by a retaining element via a connecting section and the retaining element has a support section that adjoins the connecting section and projects outwards, parallel to the mounting plane. The transponder element is attached to the support section.
