Compact 2-Post Open Frame Rack

This 16U open-frame rack provides a compact floor-standing or tabletop mounting solution for servers, patch panels, LAN switches and A/V equipment. It is built from steel with a black finish and complies with the EIA RS310-D industry standard for 19-inch equipment. The unit ships flat-packed to reduce shipping costs and requires assembly.

Build Integration and Mounting

The rack uses front-mount installation with included tool-less clip nuts and 10-32 mounting screws for quick equipment setup. Four rubber feet are supplied for stable floor or desktop placement. It supports a maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs (160 kg) while the rack itself weighs approximately 17.64 lbs. Wall mounting is not supported.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous load the heavy-duty steel frame maintains structural integrity up to the rated 350 lb capacity.

RoHS and REACH certifications confirm the materials meet environmental standards for long-term deployment.
