Product Features
Technical Overview
This wall-mount rack delivers a 9U vertical mounting space within a compact physical footprint. The external dimensions measure 21.30" in height, 21.70" in width, and 18" in depth, providing a 19" wide equipment mounting area that is standard across the industry. The unit itself weighs approximately 21.8 lb, contributing to its manageable installation process.
The rack's structural integrity comes from its cold-rolled steel construction, which provides the rigidity needed to support the full 176.4 lb maximum weight capacity. This capacity is distributed across the two vertical posts, which are pre-drilled with standard hole patterns for direct mounting of rack-mount equipment. The open frame architecture eliminates side panels, promoting optimal passive cooling for all installed devices.
