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)

I like this rack but they only supply enough screws and nuts for three devices. I buy the 6U because I need to mount 5 devices in it. You should know this before you are onsite, those nuts arent something you can buy at Home Depot/Lowes.

first rack ive purchased and this one is solid. great fabrication and everything aligned properly. thanks for the sale!

Needed to replace a wall mounted amp and this worked perfect with the rack mounted amp that replaced it!

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.

A basic and right-sized rack for the modest needs of home network. A good depth to take a variety of equipment, but still shallow enough to fit unobtrusively in the back of a closet or cupboard. The steel is solid, and well powder coated. I can fit 48 cables through the back holes with ease. I do place blanking plates at the bottom as the corners arent rounded and can give you a bit of a bump if youre not wary.

The network cables in my apartment terminate an a fairly awkward spot for a desk or a shelf, but its a decent position for an end table. I bought this rack (and the LACK table from ikea if anyone else want to do something similar) for that purpose and it works very well. However, this 8U rack only comes with 6U worth of mounting hardware. I could not find that information in the text areas of the product page, but the last picture does say that only 24 sets of the nuts and bolts come with it. I have to take one star off because the BOM should be prominently listed on the page. The product description says that the cage nuts and screws are included. In my opinion, a reasonable interpretation of that is when buying an 8U rack with included hardware, the product would include 8U worth of hardware. Its not necessarily a deal breaker, I just think that the count of hardware should be explicitly stated in the product description if you are only going to receive 75% of what could be reasonably expected. But like I said, not a deal breaker in my case because this project is planned to take a few months and I only have 6U worth of devices anyway. But that is just my specific situation. Tl; dr: Please keep in mind, you will only be able to mount 6, 1U devices in this 8U rack without buying additional hardware. Thats a product page issue, but the product itself is exactly as advertised.

I love almost everything about this rack. Not too big, not too small, feels sturdy, looks good. Using this for a home network with LAN drops in every room. The open design worked well for my purposes. My biggest issue was the mounting itself. First on that, it does come with M5 (not M6 as described) cage nuts and bolts. I was mounting this to some open studs by myself which is always a little awkward. Anyhow, the provided wood screws’ heads were exactly the same size as the holes in the back of the rack. This means that you can’t screw in the wood screws and place the rack over them and slide it in to place. You would HAVE to have someone else hold it in place while you screwed it in. I also managed to strip 3 out of the 6 provided so I went out a bought #10 x 1-1/2in screws to replace the originals. They worked perfectly. I was able to slide the rack right over the top of them which made the mounting take all but 10 minutes with 9/64 pilot holes. After it was mounted, everything is perfect and beautiful. Pros: Cost, value, aesthetics, size, prime delivery, relatively light weight, sturdy. Cons: Hardware (both M5 cage nuts which should have been M6 as well as the awful wood screws)

Always buy one size bigger than what you think you need. Bought a 4u now I need a 6u :/ Great for the price.

Ive spent a decade designing and building various sized racks of computer equipment. I didnt need much for my home network setup but also didnt want to pay an arm and a leg for one either. This was super affordable, had U locations on both rails, included mounting hardware, and is more than sturdy enough. One complaint is the support rail used on top or bottom of rack does cut into the top/bottom U location, so if mounting 3 2U servers, it likely would give you issues.

This panel is exactly what I needed in my home server room to organize all of my data lines. I also bought a number of inserts for the panel box and everything fit perfectly. Very pleased with the purchase.
