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)

Not sure why, but was expecting some assembly when it arrived. I was pleasantly mistaken. Came fully assembled, and more specifically everything (except for removable crossbar bar) was solidly welded. Crossbrace does interfere with top slot for anything deeper than a few inches but it’s easily removed and in my opinion unnecessary if you have a 1u product properly secured in the top slot anyway. Crossbrace can be moved to lower side of case in four pre-existing holes. All six slots are numbered. My only complaint would it comes with 3 sets of screws/retainers for mounting your hardware into unit. Would be nice if they’d just go ahead and provide enough screws/retainers for all six slots rather than just three of them. Mark the MSRP up about $0.99 and they’d cover their cost of providing them. I’m OCD, so having all the visible screws/retainers matching would’ve been nice.

NO SURPRISES. Except that fastener hardware count was insufficient for 6 items. I got enough for only three panels. Those fasteners are expensive, if bought additionally.

Ive installed a few of these racks in small spaces to hold various networking equipment. They are easy to hang and are light weight, so I can do it by myself. The only thing to watch is that your equipment is shallow enough. Full size Ubiquity switches have issues, otherwise pieces like the Dream Machine or the non-Pro switches seem to work well. It comes with some basic mounting hardware which is useful, but sometimes I need to replace the wall mounts with anchors.

I needed something that would fit under the stairs for a patch panel and UDM pro. This is perfect. Well made and easy to install.

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.

This is the first time that I have purchased a networking cabinet for personal use but have been in IT for over 25 years and I can say that I was IMPRESSED with the quality, form, fit and function of this cabinet. Very solid, well packed, and came with extra cage nuts/bolts, etc. Really appreciate a company stepping up and offering quality products at a reasonable price. Love that the HQs is based in the U.S.....THANK YOU!

Worked perfect

My first rack and Im super happy. For whatever reason I just wanted walls on the sides, this delivered. I have no idea what the top bar is though? Super sturdy feeling and it doesnt seem it will get scratched up. Get your own rack nuts because all free ones are meh, I expected this though. I built the wood shelving around it. Found out my walls are brutally concave. Without the curve it would have been 20 in and the rack would be so snug. I basically researched every other option on Amazon and this one seemed the best bang for my buck.

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.

Nice rack mount! Easy installation. Good buy!
