It's very sturdy, and the casters/leveling feet/cable management work well.

Price, thin but strong metal.



My first experience with this model. The design is simple, so there isn't a lot to say. I am more accustomed to an open type rack, so I had to adjust my wiring style to account for the closed walls. The metal is thick. It's tough and rigid. It comes with a grounding wire, which is nice. The mount holes are 16" apart, which can be handy if you don't have a plywood to mount to.





There's not much to say about this thing. It's a shelf and it does what it says. + The manufacturing quality appears to be top notch. + Arrived in a well packaged box with the nice triple thick corrugated exterior. + Came with 4 very sturdy looking screws and cage nuts. + Lined up perfectly in my rack and doesn't appear to have any bends or dents in the metal. + One of the better prices for products in this range.

This product is a budget frinedly option that allows complete customization when it comes to expansion. Also the specs on this page list this product with a weight capacity of 39lbs but the Startech website says this model is rated at a 200lbs capacity. It is easy to see why when you see the structure, this is heavy duty metal, not flimsy at all. This page weight may be referring to the producy weight itself but you can get all the spcs on the Startech website. Recommended product.

Sturdy and inexpensive

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.




Sturdy Design and well constructed.

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.

Well built
