Physical Profile
The cabinet features a black finish that blends with typical rack equipment. Its compact 2U height (3.40") occupies minimal rack space, with a width of 16.90" and depth of 21.30", designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. The included 4-post rack mounting tower stand spacers ensure secure installation in compatible rack environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.40" (86.36 mm), 16.90" (429.26 mm), 21.30" (541.02 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
