Vented mesh panels allow natural airflow, and the enclosure supports active cooling with up to four optional 120mm fans (ACFANKIT12) for environments with high thermal loads.
- Mesh front and side panels
- Optional fan mounts
- Passive and active cooling support
Security and Access
Lockable doors and side panels protect equipment from unauthorized access, while the hinged back panel and removable components enable easy maintenance and cable management.
- Lockable front door
- Removable side panels
- 180° hinged rear access
Deployment / Use Cases
The RK1820WALHM is designed for vertical wall mounting in locations where floor space is limited or where equipment needs to be kept secure and organized. Its 18U capacity and 198 lb weight rating make it versatile for mixed IT environments.
Common deployments include network closets for consolidating switches and patch panels, retail backrooms for POS server installations, small office server rooms for lightweight server stacks, and industrial settings where wall mounting protects equipment from floor-level hazards.
Network Infrastructure Hub
Ideal for centralizing network switches, patch panels, and routers in a locked, ventilated enclosure that maintains cable organization and simplifies troubleshooting.
Lightweight Server Rack
Supports rackmount servers, NAS units, or UPS systems in offices or retail environments where floor-standing racks are impractical.
Physical Profile
The cabinet features a sleek black finish with a steel and mesh construction that balances strength with ventilation. Its 35.6" height, 24" width, and 21.7" depth provide a compact footprint for wall mounting, while the 18U internal space maximizes equipment density. The included 1U shelf offers flexible storage for non-rackmount items or tools.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 35.60" (904.24 mm), 24" (609.60 mm), 16" (406.40 mm), 198.42 lb (90000 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
