The StarTech RK15WALLO 2-Post 15U Heavy-Duty Wall-Mount Network Rack is a reliable and efficient solution for organizing IT, AV, and patch panel equipment. Designed with a 19-inch open frame and a 12-inch depth, this wall-mounted rack optimizes limited floor space in server rooms, offices, and telecommunication closets while keeping devices easily accessible. Constructed from durable cold-rolled steel, the rack provides sturdy support for heavy hardware while ensuring unobstructed airflow for passive cooling.

Advantages

This heavy-duty network rack combines robust construction with space-saving efficiency, supporting a maximum weight capacity of up to 90 kg. Its open-frame design facilitates unrestricted airflow, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal operating temperatures for sensitive electronics. Installation is straightforward thanks to the included M6 square cage nuts and screws, and the pre-punched mounting holes spaced 16 inches apart align with standard wall stud spacing. Additionally, the flat-pack shipping design ensures secure and efficient delivery.

Suitable for

• Mounting 19-inch network switches and patch panels
• Organizing IT and server hardware in small offices or retail spaces
• Housing audio and video equipment in AV installations
• Maximizing space utilization in small server rooms and wiring closets

When it may not be suitable

This rack may not be suitable for high-density deployments requiring deep tower servers, blade enclosures, or heavy enterprise UPS systems that exceed the 12-inch depth and 90 kg weight limit. Furthermore, because it features an open-frame design, it does not provide physical security or dust protection for sensitive hardware deployed in unsecured or dusty environments.

How to use

Begin by assembling the flat-packed open frame according to the provided instructions. Locate wall studs spaced 16 inches apart and securely fasten the rack to the wall using appropriate hardware through the designated mounting holes. Once the frame is firmly mounted, install your 19-inch IT, networking, or AV equipment into the 15U rack space using the included M6 screws and cage nuts. Ensure that the total weight of the installed devices does not exceed the maximum capacity and distribute the weight evenly starting from the bottom of the rack.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hardware dimensions comply with the 19-inch width and 12-inch depth limitations
• Confirm that the total weight of your equipment does not exceed the 90 kg limit
• Check wall construction to ensure it can support the combined weight of the rack and mounted hardware
• Assess whether an open-frame design meets your physical security and environmental protection requirements

Usage recommendations: Distribute the heaviest equipment toward the bottom of the rack to maintain stability and structural integrity. Ensure adequate clearance around the open frame to maintain continuous passive airflow and prevent thermal buildup.
