4-Post 12U Wall Mount Network Cabinet with 1U Shelf, 19in Wall-Mounted Server Rack Kit, Up to 16in Mounting Depth, Ships Fully Assembled

StarTech 18U hinged cabinet just came in today. First and foremost, there was absolutely zero damage from shipping. 👍 Was really worried about this reading other reviews. We have not hung this cabinet yet, but the cabinet already being put together make this cabinet worth every penny.

I've read many reviews on the packaging and damage during shipping for many of these cabinets. This came fully assembled with no damage at all. The only set up I did was adjusting the back rails all the way back. This is a very high quality rack. I highly recommend the back hinge if you plan on working in the rack regularly. I find that I open it up almost every time I need to do something in the rack. So much easier to work on it with free back access. For my low heat equipment, I like the open vents for free air flow. Steel is thick, welds look good, tolerances are tight, very confident in the build. Installed with 4 lag bolts (5/16x2in) into studs, holds strong. Again, highly recommend the hinged back for anyone that wants or needs to tinker in their rack frequently.

I was looking for a 12U wall-mountable rack for my new condo. The AV company that pre-wired the place (of course) wanted to sell me a Mid-Atlantic frame. I decided to go with the StarTech. The first thing I noticed is that it was much bigger than I expected. Well part of the reason is that Amazon sent me the 15U version. But that’s turned out to be a nice bonus. The rack is a beast! Very heavy and well-made. The hardware package is also high-quality. I bought the combo with the PDU. That is also very nice. I added a couple of fans, a patch panel, and I’m good to go. I’ve very happy with it.

The StarTech enclosed rack cabinets cost a little more than other rack cabinets sold on Amazon but I think the extra cost is really worth it The StarTech racks are well built and very sturdy. The only complaint I have about the rack cabinet that I got is about the packaging for shipment. All sides of the cabinet that I received was protected with thick corrugated cardboards except for the bottom which was fully exposed! Because the bottom of the cabinet was not protected, my unit was badly scratched on the bottom. This cabinet is made to be flippable 180º to allow changing which way the back door opens. Fortunately, the default opening direction was fine with me so I didn't need to flip the cabinet. But if I had to, I would have really been pissed to see the bottom of the cabinet, now to be the top, all scratched up!!!

I have absolutely zero complaints. The cabinet arrived well packaged, no dents or scratches, and already assembled as advertised. I was able to rack by Omada ecosystem with plenty room left over. It's definitely a two person job to hang it above head level. That proves it's built like s tank.

This case, grounded by my friend who's an electrician is very comforting when I have it loaded with batteries and charge controllers from a PV array in my westerly facing windows. Without the ground attachment, I would be afraid to touch it. I can't think of a safer way to do Solar Power indoors. Thank you for making this delivery count Amazon. I believe we'll be served more carefully for the foreseeable future.

Perfect size for our needs

Awesome Unit. Very well built. Arrived in perfect condition. Already assembled. It was a bit heavy, but my wife and I were able to wall mount it. Didn't come with wall mounting screws, so you will need to buy those. Highly recommend.

Best wall mount carbonate I have ever installed. Swing out is great. Perfect access. Downside, it’s expensive. But you get what you pay for. Arrives fully assembled. Great quality.

bonne cage pour protéger le matériel électronic ;) ce qui pose question est le poids , je ne vois pas , même vide, ce rack fixé sua mur sur du placo !

Habe lange nach einem zweiteiligen Wandschrank mit zudem abnehmbaren Seitenwänden gesucht. Dieser Schrank bietet nicht nur das, sondern ist auch nur 45 cm tief (+10cm rückseitige Wandbefestigung), es können auch noch 90 kg zugeladen werden. Für meine Ecke unter einer Kellertreppe ideal. Käfigmuttern und Schrauben waren dabei sowie eine Rolle Krepp zur Organisation der Kabel. Sehr gut: In top ein 25 cm tiefer Fachboden (1 HE), der noch stabiler wirkt als die von digitus und (sehr sinnvoll) parallel zu den Seiten verlaufende Lüftungsschlitze hat, so dass ggf darauf stehende Geräte zB mit Kabelbinder fixiert werden können. Die Streben sind bereits geerdet. Die Anlieferung war perfekt im angegebenen Zeitfenster, der Schrank sehr gut gepolstert und auf Kleinpalette verpackt, das Zubehör innen mit Kabelbinder transportsicher fixiert. Bzgl des Preises interessante Politik: Ich habe ihn hier erst für ca 760 € gesehen, bestellt dann für 850€ (wobei mich die 90€ aber schon geärgert haben). Dann kostete er bei 1050 und plötzlich bei 670€. Da habe ich die erste Bestellung storniert und zum günstigeren Preis gekauft. Alles innerhalb von 3 Tagen.

Solid, well built, cannot fault it. Startech is a quality name.

I really like this cage. It weighs a lot so use caution when installing. It gives 16 holes in the back that are designed for 16 and 18 on center studs. I would advice that you find the studs in advance and use 3/4" mdf as a backing. I covered the MDF with black vinyl edging which helps it to blend in and use black acrylic to finish it off for a perfect look. Ultimately, I used 16 bolts to hold it to the wall. At least 8 of the three inch hex bolts I used hit the stud and the rest are secured to the MDF. I also laid at least 30 2 inch screws into the MDF to further help secure it to the wall and studs, and angled down where into the drywall. In conclusion, I think my house will fall down before the cage will. The design of the hinged door is very impressive and works beautiful although you will need to consider the length of wires for when you need to install equipment. Something that would have been nice would have been a cutout for electrical, but for me the electrical was located in an adjacent wall along with all the incoming wires. After doing some cleanup I used a 2" hole saw to cut two holes into the rear door side and used grommets to help protect the enormous amount of cabling.
