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 bought this rack unit because I've started to get some new gear for my personal music/recording studio. I currently have an Avid Eleven Rack and a BBE 362 Sonic Maximizer as rack-mount effects. Let me say this unit is a beast and sturdy as a tank. As shown in the pics, it holds my rack FX perfectly with three additional spaces leftover (the 11 Rack uses 2 spaces all by itself) and still has plenty of room to hold my old Mac Mini and my Behringer audio interface (U-Phoria UMC204HD). The top is open, but I found a perfectly sized spare shelf I had to place my HD monitor on top of the whole setup. The rack unit comes with the stabilizer bar already assembled and everything ready to go. In the fairly large box it came in I received the rack unit, a one-page instruction manual in a plastic binder sleeve, and all the necessary accessories bubble-wrapped and zip-tied to the unit itself. Everything I needed, in other words—with plenty of space for cord management and airflow in the back of the unit. Included are enough rack screws, clip nuts, and washers to install 3 or 4 rack-mount effects. It would be nice if they also included enough for the rest of the unit's shelf space (6 rack FX in all), but it's definitely not a deal-breaker and not worth the removal of a star rating. If you're looking to get into rack-mounted FX for yourself, give this bad boy a try. You won't regret it.

Well made and easy to install. They include a paper template but...just hold it up to the wall and mark. It includes holes 16" OC, so perfect for 2x4 construction if you have flexibility in your placement to align with the studs. If not, there aren't extra holes like most TV mounts which is disappointing. You can always drill through the back. Includes square bracket nuts and matching screws, but not for all 8U positions. I think 6 were included which is more than sufficient for my needs and you can always buy more. The bar going across the top blocks the midpoint of the top 1U. Not a big deal if youre putting a patch panel there. You can also move it to the bottom (dont flip the rack or the ground attach point will be on top).

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.

#1 recommendation - do NOT use the provided screws to attach this rack to the wall. Especially do not use such a light drywall anchor for a heavier item such as this. Fully loaded, this can weigh quite a bit. The picture attached shows a 1/4-1 inch screw that attaches the rack to a plywood panel. If you want a lasting installation, use a piece of plywood that is anchored to studs, then you can use heavy screws to attach - and use all four. Having said all that - there is a slight amount of flex on the back, I wish the screw holes had been placed more outboard (next to the sides) to prevent this. However, given the load I have on this I used the existing holes and they are fine. As other reviewers have noted, only 12 cage nuts are provided, which is usually just good for 3u worth of devices. Aside from the above, this is a nifty little rack and I am very pleased with it.

The network cables in my apartment terminate an a fairly awkward spot for a desk or a shelf, but it's a decent position for an end table. I bought this rack (and the LACK table from ikea if anyone else wan't 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. It's 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. That's a product page issue, but the product itself is exactly as advertised.

The StarTech.com 6U Wall Mount Network Rack - 14 Inch Deep (Low Profile) is a great compact rack with enough room for a simple network setup. Fits in small spaces either on a shelf or even mounted on a wall. Clean and simple. One piece unit, no panels or parts to put together. Finish is very good (nice paint, edges not sharp, not plastered with branding labels). Came with hardware to get started with attaching shelves or components. Other manufacture items (i.e. shelves, switches, patch panel, power bank, etc.). Packaging was great with the unit securely inside a heavy card box. The next rack size up is also a very nice and compact enough.

Fast delivery, sturdy and cheap compared to other open racks

Für den Keller-Technikraum völlig ausreichend. Bitte wählt eher höher als zu niedrig. Es kommt schnell einiges zusammen. Patchfeld, Steckerleiste, Switch, ... alles braucht Platz. Sehr gute Qualität

Parfait... C'est exactement ce que je voulais.

With the brace at the top of the rack the integrity is strong even before you add your different modules. Good finish and the included screws are a big plus, no need to hunt for something that will fit -- instead you can start mounting it on the wall right away.
