This wall-mount bracket for shallow rack-mount equipment provides 12U of space for mounting data/IT equipment that's 12-inch deep or less to the wall, such as patch panels or network switches. The 12U rack optimizes your working space by efficiently mounting your shallow data/IT equipment on your wall instead of taking up desk space or other usable surface areas. It?s the perfect solution for your space-limited SoHo (small office, home office) environment or space limited server room because it doesn?t take up any floor space. The wall rack is constructed of solid steel to ensure a sturdy and safe mounting solution for your mission-critical equipment, and to organize cabling or equipment in your network closet, wiring closet, back office or IDF. Also, because the wall-mount rack's mounting holes are positioned 16-Inch apart, it exactly matches the standard drywall construction framework to ensure simple and secure wall-stud anchoring. The rack also features a rear access panel that can be used to easily run the cables into the rack. Cage nuts and screws are included with the wall-mount bracket, to save you the hassle of sourcing separate mounting hardware. If you're looking for a shallow mounting solution with fewer rack units, StarTech.com also offers a 6U wall-mount bracket, and an 8U wall-mount bracket. The wall-mount bracket for shallow rack-mount equipment is backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.
