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)

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.

Excellent construction. It works well for patch panels, power, and maybe a CloudKey, but it won’t work for long equipment like an NVR or full server

Very happy with this rack. Much stronger than I expected, even without the top brace. The square holes are cut perfectly to allow for easy installation of cage nuts and mounting holes are perfectly 16 on center. Was also really pleased with the level of packaging in the box to ensure that there was no damage in transit. In the rack is: 1U AC Infinity 10 shelf Cable Matters 24 slot keystone patch panel IFJF wire management 24 Port TP-Link gigabit switch 1U AC Infinity blank plate Tripp Litte 12 socket PDU

This rack was super easy to install. It’s very sturdy, but just make sure you install it via the wood studs. This is perfect for my needs.

I had another, bigger rack that was sticking out too far in my basement storage room. This one has sides on it, where the other rack was wide open. The only holding it back from 5 stars is the price. Its a piece of formed/bent metal with holes in the front for your switches and patch panels. It might cost $40 to actually make it.

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.

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.

Holds everything it needs. Its stable when mounted. I mounted wood to the wall prior to mounting the rack. It arrived a bit bent where the devices mount, but I was able to straighten it out with a pliers and after securing a device to the rack, it worked itself out. It organizes everything nicely. There are enough screws and mount clips to do what you need.

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.

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.
