8U Desktop Server Rack for 19-inch Equipment

This 8U open-frame rack holds 19-inch servers, AV gear or studio devices on a desk, table or floor. It suits home offices, small studios or lab benches where a full-height cabinet is unnecessary.

Tapped-Hole Steel Frame with 143 lb Capacity

Cold-rolled steel construction supports up to 143 lb of equipment while the 360-degree open design gives unrestricted access to cables and ports. Tapped holes accept standard cage nuts and screws for quick mounting.

Replaces Bulky Floor Cabinets in Tight Spaces

The compact 11.61 x 19.8 x 16.06 inch footprint fits where a 42U enclosure cannot, yet still meets EIA/ECA-310-E spacing. It is not for installers who need lockable doors, side panels or higher unit counts.

Questions about this item

Does the 19 inch EIA-310-E standard limit the depth of equipment I can mount?

The 19 inch EIA-310-E standard only governs the width and hole spacing; this rack is 11.61 inches deep, so any 19 inch gear must fit within that depth.

What surface area do I need on my desk for the 19.8 inch wide rack?

The rack footprint is 19.8 inches wide by 11.61 inches deep, so allow at least that much clear desk or table space.

How do I use the tapped holes and included cage nuts during assembly?

The frame has 8U of tapped holes; use the supplied cage nuts and screws only where you need to mount equipment, not in every hole.
