StarTech.com 2U Vertical Wall Mount Patch Panel Bracket - Steel Rack Mount Bracket w/Hardware for 19 Network, Server and Data Equipment (RK219WALLV)

Great price, Works great, No downside

Purchased this in order to install some Meraki switches and MX in an old telephone closet that was just too shallow to mount normally. This rack is nice and lightweight which makes mounting it very easy and it comes with all the hardware you need to mount it and the equipment you need to mount to it. Total size is 8U which was perfect for our Fiber modem, Firewall and 2 48 port switches. Also excuse the crudity of the photo as our fiber was only roughed in when I took that photo.

I expected thicker and sturdier for the price. For the same quality, it makes more sense to buy from a dime-a-dozen weird brand name sellers on Amazon. Rack Solutions makes much better stuff for more $, also avail here on Amazon.

So, youve got a light 1U piece of hardware, its got knobs, and you need to put it somewhere out of the way. Enter this product. The 1U mount is pretty sturdy, and once the screws were installed, it became even more sturdy. I installed a dbx 286s microphone preamp, and there was literally no flex of the preamp or the rack bracket. If youre looking at mounting a few things horizontally under a desk (light things), then I think youve got a good solution right here.

Well made. Wall mounted a network switch.

Worked well to install a 24 port POE rack mount switch in my utility room. Mounting vertically saved a considerable amount of space.

Currently supporting a 1u UPS, 1u server and 1u switch. Rack holes are exactly where they need to be for standard mounting applications. Wall mount holes are 16 on center making for easy mounting into studs.

This is sturdy with excellent quality. It gives you flexibility to build your own server rack in almost any table or cabinet.

Startech is known for its exceptional quality and this open-frame style rack is just another great example- its very well-built and will not flex or warp when fully loaded. Itll support up to 200 lbs and with this rugged solid build, you can feel confident knowing your equipment will be safe.

Most people will not use this as a wall mount. You will more likely use it as a mount on top or underneath of a flat surface (e.g. inside a cabinet). As a wall mount, your gear will be facing up and hanging downward, FYI.
