This is a nice rack for a large home LAN or a small/mid-sized office. I have a 1U, 24-port gigabit copper switch and a 1U, 24-port CAT6 patch panel mounted in mine, with lots of room to spare for growth of my home LAN. This item is designed to be mounted on the bottom side of a shelf (equipment mounted horizontally) or attached with screws to wall studs with the equipment mounted vertically. You may need a backing board, depending on stud spacing. I have mine mounted in an air-cooled, fully enclosed cabinet, on the underside of a shelf. Since there is no back to the thing, you can mount deep equipment and it will just hang out the back. The rack is constructed of heavy gauge steel and comes with lots of mounting hardware.

Extends the side of the rack in a convenient manner and is just the right size without over extending and obstructing movement around the rack

Strong looking Got the one I ordered. Fast shipping (next day) (one state away).


Build quality for the price

Easy to setup in my office. I do like that each potential "row" is numbered.


Well built


Sturdy, easy to assemble and well marked mounting holes.


Very sturdy All 3 doors lock Good ventilation and has holes for optional fans on the top and bottom


The shelf is very sturdy and fit perfectly in my server rack. The screws that came with it for mounting are large and have a tapered metal washer/sleeve and a nylon washer. It just looks tough sitting on the rack. The design allows you to have a lipped front/back if you want, or you can mount it the other way to have it flush.





This rack is made of very heavy gauge steel. It is very rugged and very easy to assemble. It may help to have a second set of hands to put it together. I love that StarTech included some cable management hooks! Very helpful! The price is excellent. Would buy a second rack if needed. I looked at other open frame racks and StarTech's was the only one that came with everything I needed and then some. Plus it is a full size 42u rack.

- Sturdy Rack - Wheels are incredibly well-made with greased bearings - Looks good, sweet red "SR" Logo on the front. - The fasteners are super sturdy
