StarTech 2-Post 9U Wall Mount Network Cabinet with 1U Shelf, 19 Inch Server Rack Enclosure for Data, Networking, AV, and Electronics Equipment

The StarTech 2-Post 9U Wall Mount Network Cabinet with 1U Shelf is a 19-inch server rack enclosure designed to organize and house IT, data, networking, AV, and computer equipment. This wall-mounted cabinet features a sturdy closed 2-post steel frame with an adjustable mounting depth and a maximum weight capacity of 90 kg. It includes integrated cable management solutions, a secure key lock system, and vented panels to support passive airflow, making it an efficient space-saving installation for offices, server rooms, and restricted telecom environments.

Advantages

The cabinet provides a reliable solution for optimizing storage while preserving valuable floor space in professional and commercial environments. Constructed from high-quality cold-rolled steel, the enclosure ensures long-lasting durability and structural stability for heavy electronics. Accessing mounted devices is straightforward thanks to the removable and reversible front door, as well as removable side panels equipped with quick-release mechanisms. Independent locks on each door and panel enhance physical security for sensitive hardware. Furthermore, passive cooling is facilitated by mesh doors and vented top and bottom panels, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures for installed electronics without requiring complex ventilation setups.

Suitable for

• Organizing and housing network switches and patch panels
• Mounting IT and data equipment in small server rooms or offices
• Storing AV and electronics equipment in commercial or retail spaces
• Saving floor space in restricted telecom environments and classrooms

How to use

Begin by securing the cabinet firmly to wall studs utilizing the pre-spaced mounting holes to ensure structural stability. Adjust the internal 2-post mounting rails to the required depth depending on the dimensions of your equipment. Mount your EIA-310 compliant devices into the rack using the provided cage nuts and mounting screws. Utilize the included 1U shelf to place non-rack-mountable devices or tools securely. Route and bundle your cables using the provided hook-and-loop fastener to maintain a tidy setup and ensure unimpeded airflow. Finally, secure the removable side panels and reversible front door using the integrated key locks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment dimensions match the 9U capacity and the adjustable mounting depth of 6 to 15 inches
• Confirm that the total weight of your installed hardware does not exceed the 90 kg maximum weight limit
• Check wall construction to ensure it can support the combined weight of the cabinet and loaded equipment
• Assess cooling requirements to determine if passive ventilation via vented panels is sufficient for your hardware

Usage recommendations

Always distribute weight evenly across the rack and place heavier components near the bottom to maintain stability. Ensure that wall studs are properly located before installation to securely support the total loaded weight of the enclosure.
