Know before you buy

No, this rack ships flat-packed to reduce shipping costs and prevent damage during transit. You will need to assemble the frame on-site, but the process is straightforward and all necessary mounting screws are included.
Yes, this rack is built to the standard 19-inch mounting format and complies with EIA-310D standards. It is designed to accommodate any equipment that adheres to these industry-standard dimensions.
The 12-inch depth is ideal for patch panels, network switches, and smaller routers, but it is likely too shallow for full-depth enterprise servers. We recommend measuring the depth of your specific hardware, including cable clearance, before purchasing.
This rack is constructed from durable SPCC cold-rolled steel and can support up to 150 lbs of equipment. Ensure your wall surface is structurally sound enough to support both the weight of the rack and the equipment you intend to mount.
