How to use

Begin by selecting a suitable mounting location, ensuring the wall structure aligns with the 16-inch center-to-center mounting holes for secure attachment to wall studs. Use appropriate hardware to firmly fasten the bracket to the wall, ceiling, or under a desk depending on your preferred orientation. Once the bracket is securely anchored, attach your 19-inch rack-compatible networking equipment, patch panels, or power strips to the 6U rack space using the included cage screws and nuts, ensuring weight distribution remains within the specified limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment conforms to the standard 19-inch rack width
• Ensure the total weight of your mounted devices does not exceed 90.7 kg
• Check that your available wall space accommodates the 6U vertical height
• Confirm whether an open-frame wall mount meets your security and environmental requirements

Usage recommendations

Always verify the structural integrity of the wall surface and ensure fasteners are securely anchored into wall studs before mounting any equipment. Distribute weight evenly across the 6U rack space and do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 90.7 kg to maintain a safe and stable installation.
