Tripp Lite 6U Wall Mount Rack Enclosure Server Cabinet, 16.5" Deep, Switch-Depth (SRW6U), Black

Recently purchased this to store some home networking equipment and a security camera NVR for a family member. Was very suprised to find the enclosure pre-assembled on arrival. Before deploying, I reviewed the multiple configuration options available (reversible door, movable railing) and continued to be impressed with this quality Tripp Lite product. Comes with a mounting bracket that makes the mounting process very easy. It serves its purpose well and provides plenty of space for this project. Will be purchasing another for myself. See the bottom of this review to find the items I paired with this rack. Pros: -Sturdy build -Great price! -Easy mounting option -Comes pre-assembled -Screws and cage nuts provided! -Good ventilation perforations -Mounts on bottom and top for ventilation fans -Adequate wiring holes with caps -Adjustable railings Cons: -None/TBD Items paired with rack: - Raxxess RAX Unitray Universal Rack Tray UNS1 - [UL Listed] Cable Matters Rackmount or Wallmount 24-Port Cat6 RJ45 Patch Panel - TP-LINK 8-Port Gigabit PoE Web Managed Easy Smart Switch with 4 PoE Ports (TL-SG108PE) - Amcrest NV4108 1080p (8CH 1080p/3MP/4MP/5MP) Network Video Recorder - Supports up to 8 x 1080p (2.1MP) WiFi IP Cameras @ 30fps Realtime, Supports up to 4TB HDD (Not Included) (No Built-In WiFi)

This rack is solid; I really like it. It's not at all flimsy, and holds all our switches and patch panels like a champ. It's got side doors that make access easier, as well as ingress plates on both the top and the bottom, so cable bundles can move where needed. For what it is, it is excellent and I have no complaints whatsoever. In practice, however, I ran into a few snags. First, it's amazing how quickly 6U can go. I needed 5U when I started, but one extra is not enough; I should have gotten an 8, but that's my fault. The bigger warning is that 16.5" depth really isn't enough if you're using managed switches. I tried putting a Cisco 3750E in here, and it was about an inch too long, even with the front mounting rails moved all the way up. I replaced it with a Dell 6224, which technically fits, but I had to get a right angle power adapter, and even then it just barely fit. I gave the rack five stars because the issues I ran into were clearly a lack of planning, but I thought I would post this warning that a 20" deep rack is probably a better investment if you're not absolutely certain of the dimensions of all the equipment going into this rack before it is purchased.

Bought this to consolidate all of my network equipment in a single, nice looking location. The rack comes completely assembled with the ability to move the mounting rails fore and aft based on the depth of your equipment. I was able to fit a Cisco 3750G PoE switch, a Cisco 5506, a Monoprice keystone patch panel and a Cyber Power PDU with two 2Us left. It came with all of the items I needed to mount these four pieces of equipment (assuming you use two screws per device). The rack came with a removable mounting bracket that you screw to two studs. This arrangement allows the rack to be mounted in two different offsets. Having this bracket allows a single person to be able to mount this without needing three arms. If needed, you can mount up to four 120mm fans (you supply the power). It also has two 10"x2" openings (one on the top and one on the bottom). The rack can be mounted upside down if you like as it symmetrical. The door can hinge from the left or the right depending on your needs. To keep the install super clean, I finished it off with Monoprice 6" no-boot patch cables. Forget all of that extra cable that everyone seems to love. Considering the quality and price, you can't miss with this handy little rack.

Sweet cabinet, not a lot of coin. This seems to focus on networking equipment level installs and NOT for server rack mounts. Hardware: I could not find this answer anywhere, it did come with rack screws for both direct mount and screws/cage nuts, however, there was not enough hardware for either option if one was to use every U slot and every hole. -Minus 1 star I had to order RackGold 12/24 screws (50 pack) but that is extra cost. Oh well. The unit is nice no doubt and would not stop me from ordering again. There is NO mounting hardware nor I did not expect any. After fully loaded, I would not trust questionable/soft chinese bolts to hold this up anyways. I grabbed some 3/8 2" bolts with washers and lock nuts from hardware store for mounting to my custom made MDF backer board. I did create a joist hanger made out of two 2x3 lumber and 3/4 thick MDF for the backing board (see pic). I opted for this route instead of drilling into concrete. You will definitely need to consider what you will be mounting this to. My joist hanger mount worked perfectly and looks nice. I will post pics as my project develops.

Exceptional! I am pleasantly surprised with the build quality of the Tripp Lite 6U wall mount. There is nothing cheap about it. The fit and finish is grade A. In the past I have encountered corner cutting with similar products, such as rough metal edging or poorly threaded screw holes. Not with this unit, everthing was precisely tooled and engineered, which speaks volumes about quality control. It was very easy to securely mount to studs, looks very professional and tidy. Air flow is no issue and the placement of the underside and above plates make it easy to work with, in addition to the front and side doors. Used to house a 24 port switch, patch panel, ups, and a light duty server, this box make sfor a clean server closet.

I bought this to hold all of my networking gear in my new house and It is perfect for it. For the price the build quality is better than I expected. Its sturdy and fairly secure, wall mount this and no one will be able to tamper with your equipment easily. Has room above and below the first and last U as well as room on the sides. This is perfect for managing cables. This will not fit the vast majority of servers, so don't buy this as a cheap server rack. They have a deeper unit that you could fit some servers into but this is shallow and looks like it will only fit multimedia and networking gear. The next house I buy I will probably purchase another one to place all of the networking equipment in.

I have a small home studio for internet broadcast radio. This rack is amazing. I love it. I only have a few pieces of hardware to be mounted and before purchasing this unit. I had them on tables, stacked up with cords running everywhere. The rack comes with the mounting hardware I needed--basically just nuts and bolts. None of the equipment I have required any kind of trays for support. Even though this rack is able to be mounted on a wall. I have mine sitting on the floor under the table where I have my mixer and some other equipment. It's great to have the cables all together and neat. One thing, make sure you have some kind of labeling system so that you can tell which cables belong to which piece of equipment. Once the cables go into the rack, it'll be hard to remember which ones are which. The quality of this rack is very high and it's a classy looking unit. When I have the need, I'll purchase another Tripp Lite rack. I would recommend this particular rack to anyone. It's outstanding.

This is an awesome little Rack. In fact that's the only issue I have with it. I should have gotten a larger one. I bought Two and they're perfect for what I need. The doors are on all three sides. The main door is reversable so you can flip the hinges to the other side if it doesn't suit your chosen area. Mounting is a breeze with the included bracket. It's GREAT. 6U is Really Small though be sure you only need it for one item maybe two. Once I got my UPS and PDU in there, there just wasn't much space left, DUH. My own fault. -If there is one Negative it's taht there is no cable magamnet holes in and out of the cabinet. Just a removable panel which does leave a large opening.

Compramos este gabinete para guardar 3 Mac Minis en la empresa, ya sabes... mantenerlas lejos de las manos curiosas. Cuando llegó el producto quedamos encantados de la calidad y la buena manufactura del mismo. Funciona perfecto. Lo taladramos a la pared a 2 metros y metimos la electricidad y red por uno de los orificios superiores. Quedó perfecto pues usamos canaleta y la instalación se ve muy bien, se ve profesional e impacta a quien entra en la sala. Super recomendable, muy buen precio y puedes meterle hasta 2 charolas de 19" sin problemas. Me encantó que aparte trae llave tipo alarma de coche viejito. Te lo recomiendo mucho si quieres guardar computaodras, switches, audio, en fin, mil cosas. El servicio de Amazon como siempre fué impecable.

Sturdy. Great size to connect 24 cables to a patch panel and switch. Well ventilated. Would buy again

This is a well built, attractive small rack to tidy up equipment. They used to send it without enough hardware but now they include all the hardware you will need to install your equipment. If you add a shelf you will double the floor area available for seating electronics.

I love it.

Great little case, but next to nothing about how to mount it to the wall, so you're on your own with that. It comes with no hardware to do that either. The mounting bracket is designed in such a way that once it's mounted on the wall, you're supposed to be able to hang the unit on the bracket, but it just doesn't work. Either the screws/bolts are in the way of getting it on properly or you can't "tilt" the unit enough to get the blades into the slots in properly, so you have to have someone hold it for you while you awkwardly keep the mounting bracket in place while trying to screw/bolt it down to the wall at the same time. It's kind of ridiculous. I managed to get it up on my own, but it wasn't pretty. I used 4 tapcon hex concrete anchors on the mounting bracket into a concrete wall that had drywall over it. That would have been perfect had the thing fit while the bracket was on the wall, but it didn't - they were in the way, so had to back them out and then hang it with the bracket already in place on the unit. very, very awkward. I also had to use washers between the tapcons and unit because they would have gone right through the spaces. The only other knock on this unit is the holes for running cable through are very large with no adjustments. so you have a huge slot open to run a few cables through - in my case about 8 cables through the top one and 1 power cable through the bottom. I ended up drilling another hole just off-centre from the original so that I could keep it mostly closed while allowing enough room for the 1 power cable to pass through. I didn't see anything on the tripp-lite site (or amazon) to manage this better. In other cases, they have a part that covers that space with either styrofoam where the cables pass through or bristles to keep the opening looking a little better and cables tidy.
