Product Features
Technical Overview
This wall-mount rack cabinet features a 12U height configuration with 17 inches of usable rack depth, accommodating standard rackmount equipment while maintaining a compact footprint. The 4-post design provides additional structural support compared to traditional 2-post racks, distributing weight evenly across the mounting surface. The cabinet's external dimensions measure 25.10 inches in height, 23.60 inches in width, and 21.70 inches in depth, creating a balanced profile for wall installation.
The ventilation system incorporates mesh panels on both front doors and side panels, facilitating natural convection cooling while supporting optional active cooling with up to four 120mm fans (sold separately as ACFANKIT12). The reversible and removable front door design allows for flexible installation configurations, while the included 1U shelf provides additional storage for non-rackmount devices or equipment.
