Hardware Guide
What Is a Phone Farm?
Complete reference for Box Phone Farm racks, motherboard boxes, chassis specs, and deployment from PhoneFarm ICU, Guangzhou hardware manufacturer since 2017.
A phone farm (also called a Box Phone Farm, mobile device farm chassis, or device farm hardware rack) houses multiple real smartphones or Android motherboard nodes in one metal chassis. Instead of scattering chargers, cables, and fans across a desk, a phone farm centralizes power delivery, cooling airflow, USB data routing, and optional LAN connectivity into a single rack-mountable unit.
PhoneFarm ICU manufactures this physical infrastructure in Guangzhou — racks, motherboard boxes, empty chassis shells, power modules, USB hubs, and cooling systems. Software and device management tools are run on your control workstation; we supply the hardware layer tested before export.
How the Hardware Works
Every Box Phone Farm follows the same core architecture: a ventilated steel chassis, numbered device slots (typically up to 20 positions), a front I/O panel, rear cooling fans, and a centralized power path.
- Chassis — steel frame with rack mounting ears and ventilation window
- Device slots — vertical rows for full phones or motherboard nodes (model-dependent spacing)
- Front panel — LAN1 + LAN2 (RJ45), USB Type-B uplink to control PC, OTG/USB switch, per-slot indicator LEDs
- Rear panel — 4× high-airflow fans and modular PSU bay
- Power — 110–220V AC industrial PSU sized to node count (typically 550W class for 20-node racks)
- Control — USB hub routes ADB/data to Windows or Linux workstation; iOS labs use macOS control stations
