StarTech.com 6U Wall Mount Network Rack - 14 Inch Deep (Low Profile) - 19 Patch Panel Bracket for Shallow Server and IT Equipment, Network Switches - 44lbs/20kg Weight Capacity, Black (WALLMOUNT6)

Some of the 1U devices items fit really tight and the mounting holes may be too close vertically.

The product is sturdy and easy to install but openings in the back could be bigger. trying to fit 37 cat6a cables to a 48 port patch panel took some dremel work to modify opening to accommodate for cable management. perhaps some punch through similar to what an electrical circuit breaker box has to easily provide for more access for additional cables? but overall great product for price but could easily see myself paying a little extra for added conveniences of install.

Decent quality, good value but doesnt include necessary hardware to fill the 6u. Only includes half the hardware needed to be able to fill rack.

Its a nice little rack to mount in your basement or in a wiring closet at an office (provided your switches are less than 12 inches deep). Its pretty sturdy for what it is. I have a Dell Powerconnect 5324 switch, a shelf with a DSL modem/router combo and a NAS, a patch panel, and a cable management bar. It has four mounting points on the back, so you can screw it right onto a piece of ply wood mounted into the wall (which is what I did), or into a couple studs, or whatever you want. The only reason Im deducting a star is because the cage nuts are a pain and the screws use an allen wrench (I would have preferred Phillips screws). In summary, its a nice, sturdy rack for the price. Just make sure you have cage nuts in addition to screws and make sure your equipment is less than 12 inches deep. UPDATE: This thing is very strong! I was a bit nervous, but I put a UPS that weighs about 20lbs in it and its holding it fine.

I recently migrated my home network into a more manageable wired network and wanted to be able to convert a junk coat closet into a network closet. The rack I had already purchased was way too small (4u, 6in deep) and cost twice as much. I ordered and received this rack the next day and had everything mounted in a few minutes. The rack only came with 12 screws/cage nuts, but I can deal with that until I can get some more. Otherwise, the 6u rack is durable and perfect for what I intended.

Does what its supposed to do. However, only enough hardware is included to mount three units. What a shame, otherwise good for what it is.

Easy to install. Great value…

I was looking for a small rack to mount my keystone panel and rackmount switch and to allow for future expansion of my home network without buying a bigger rack. This rack from StarTech proved to be a great solution. It comes with holes and hardware to wall-mount this item but also a bag full of cage nuts and screws to rackmount plenty of network equipment. I was originally gonna give this item 5 stars but I decided to dock a star for not supporting rackmount cases. I planned on installing a 2U rackmount case into this rack for a computer that will function as an NVR for a future surveillance system, but this rack isnt deep enough. Otherwise, you cant go wrong with this 12U rack from a great company.

This is an excellent rack for small components. I cant tell you how sturdy it is. More than I really needed. The ports at the back were perfectly positioned and the mounting was made simple. However as it turned out I changed my mind about where I was going to put the rack and what I was going to put in it. Therefore I exchanged the 12U for a slimmer 8U configuration. It is working perfectly and houses my cyber power, NVR, and Gigabit switch. It is also not wall mounted but sitting on my workbench in the garage so I can get the cables in thru the back. Working perfectly.

I was expecting a fairly flimsy frame that would only be stiffened by the racks bolted on. Nope. Very well made My only complaint was the screw holes (the larger pass through part) was smaller than the screws. I ended up grinding the screw heads down to fit through the holes to avoid having to hold the well made and heavy frame to the wall while screwing into the wall. Still, well made and happy with my purchase.
