Rack mount short slide rail Lanview RAX401 — set of 2 rails for server cabinets

Lanview RAX401 short slide rail set (2 pcs) is a pair of metal rack-mount rails designed for installing and sliding equipment inside standard server cabinets and IT racks. The rails provide a compact mounting footprint that supports secure attachment of servers, switches or other rack-mountable devices while allowing front or rear access for maintenance and cable work. Constructed for compatibility with common 19-inch rack layouts, the set facilitates orderly, space-efficient equipment arrangement in data centers and network rooms.

Advantages

The short slide rail set offers a durable metal construction that resists deformation under load and provides stable support for mounted equipment. Its sliding mechanism enables controlled extension for equipment removal or servicing without disassembling the rack. The rails are designed for straightforward installation in standard rack rails and contribute to improved airflow and cable management by keeping devices aligned and accessible.

Suitable for

• Mounting 1U–3U rack-mount servers and networking devices in standard 19-inch racks
• Data center and server room equipment installations requiring occasional servicing access
• Tight rack spaces where short-depth rail solutions are needed
• Network cabinets and telecommunication racks for compact device installation

Key specifications

• Set contents: two metal short slide rails for rack mounting
• Compatibility: standard 19-inch rack layouts and rack-mounted equipment
• Finish: corrosion-resistant metal surface suitable for technical environments
• Mounting type: slide/rail mechanism for tool-assisted or tool-free mounting depending on rack
• Function: enables secure mounting and controlled sliding access for maintenance

How to use

Attach each rail to the corresponding vertical posts of the server cabinet according to the rack’s mounting holes and depth. Secure the rails at both front and rear mounting points, ensuring the sliding mechanism is aligned and operates smoothly. Slide the equipment into the mounted rails until it is fully seated, then secure the device to the rails or rack with the appropriate fasteners. When servicing is required, extend the slide rails to access the front or rear of the mounted equipment while maintaining load balance and support.

Usage recommendations

Verify rack depth and mounting hole spacing before installation to ensure compatibility. Use the rails within the equipment’s weight limits and follow standard safety procedures when sliding or supporting mounted devices. Periodically inspect the sliding components for debris or wear and maintain the mounting hardware torque according to rack vendor guidance.
