This wall rack adds the ability to adjust the rail depth so the door will close when using patch panels, networking gear or pesky equipment with large knobs. traditional powder-coating processes can clog threads in the rails, making it difficult to get the screws in. Our rack rails use an electrocoating , or “e-coating”, process that is every bit as durable as powder-coating and up to 60% thinner for a perfect fit and jet black finish each and every time! The top and bottom covers complement the rails with a durable color-matched, powder-coated finish. When it comes to the strength of your rack, errr… size matters. Top and bottom plates are stamped from a single sheet of 14 gauge steel. Each rack rail is a stout 11 gauge thick. A full rack of gear, even a small one, can weigh a lot! So we put a lot of thought into how it mounts to the wall. Keyhole locations are located at 16" on-center for easy installation directly to wall studs. Just screw in the lags then hang your rack on them. Another clever method is to use the optional swing kit. Not only does the kit allow the rack to easily mount onto two hinge pins, but it allows the system to swing away from the wall for easy rear panel access. Plus, when using the kit you get another 2.66" of depth for equipment and cabling.
