ROLINE outdoor 19" profile rails 7U rack mounting rails (ROLINE, model 26.21.0321)

ROLINE outdoor 19" profile rails 7U rack mounting rails are designed for installation inside 19-inch outdoor racks and weather-resistant enclosures. The rails provide 7U of usable mounting height and a standard 19" mounting profile to secure network switches, patch panels, small servers and other rack-mountable devices. Constructed for outdoor environments, these profile rails fit common rack layouts to simplify equipment organisation and to ensure stable attachment points within the cabinet.

Advantages

These profile rails offer a standard 19" mounting interface with clearly defined U-spacing for predictable device placement. The 7U height gives a compact yet useful mounting area for telecommunications and network components. Built for outdoor use, the rails are compatible with weatherproof racks and provide a stable, repeatable mounting solution that reduces installation time and helps maintain orderly cable routing. Their rigid profile supports secure fastening and helps distribute load evenly across the rack frame.

Suitable for

• Mounting network switches and patch panels in outdoor 19" racks
• Installing compact rack-mount servers or appliances in weatherproof enclosures
• Organising telecommunications equipment in street cabinets, remote sites or substations
• Temporary or permanent installations where a standard 19" 7U mounting space is required

Key specifications

• Mounting standard: 19-inch rack profile
• Usable mounting height: 7U
• Intended environment: outdoor / weather-resistant racks and enclosures
• Mechanical function: fixed profile rails for rack-mounted equipment
• Typical compatibility: standard 19" rack-mountable devices (switches, patch panels, compact servers)

How to use

Install the profile rails inside a compatible 19" outdoor enclosure, aligning the rail mounting holes with the enclosure's uprights or pre-drilled cage points. Secure the rails using appropriate fasteners supplied by the rack or recommended for the enclosure material and environmental class. Mount equipment by sliding it into the 7U space and fastening through the front mounting holes with standard 19" rack screws and cage nuts or thread inserts as required. Ensure even load distribution and use additional support brackets for heavier devices.

Usage recommendations

Verify enclosure compatibility and corrosion resistance requirements before installation. Use stainless or weatherproof fasteners where exposure to moisture or salt is expected. Observe load limits of the enclosure and distribute weight evenly across multiple mounting points. Regularly inspect fastening points and corrosion-prone areas during maintenance cycles to maintain a secure outdoor installation.
