Very sturdy All 3 doors lock Good ventilation and has holes for optional fans on the top and bottom

This is a follow up to my previous review about the fans. I was beyond the Newegg return window and had to deal with Tripp Lite directly. It is rare to get great customer service. The whole process was totally painless. Kudos to Tripp Lite for their great service.

good ventilation, clean appearance, sturdy construction, ability to use casters or fixed leg base


Mostly designed for 2U server with cage screws and washers, but can be used for many other things as well with the right screw kits. The size is versatile and standard, it fits in standard tool chest cabinets as well with tool-less installation as a secondary shelf with lips on every side of the shelf. Does not fit in any personal computer cases, but only in standard sized rack mount frames, which can also be used for a variety of specialized purposes, because that's the way it is. This is probably mostly appropriate for personal servers or small quantity orders inside mid-sized corporations. Most corporations do not use more than a few 2U/1U frames or servers. This is because they are not needed and other kinds of systems are used. There is not much difference compared to other similar 2U shelves. No shape optimization is present nor should be needed, just follow industry trends is sufficient. The thermal vents are designed correctly with structural strength factored in the design based on general industry structural guidelines. The material is obviously regular steel with a spray paint surface finish. The price is about right for this kind of server accessory. Steel is one of the best choices for this kind of applications, it is high strength designed for low cycle loads. As a result, Infinite life is definitely expected.

- Easy to put together without instructions - Plenty of expansion





Solid, much thicker material than I expected. Easy to mount comes with cage nuts and hardware


a good solution for a patch panel or other underdesk or under-shelf install.




The rack comes with the shelf, the fan, and the PDU (Power Delivery Unit) pictured, which is great. The 12U size gives me more than enough room with what I needed to put in there, and gives room for later additions. Item came with a broken foot, but I immediately reached out to their support team. They apologized and quickly sent out a replacement item. I received that item within less than a week (they are in Canada, I'm in the US.)

- All sides open easily - Arrived fully assembled - Solid construction - Easy to install casters - Sturdy rack construction

The product is what we wanted, great quality and easy to assemble. Lots of features. The Specs were accurate.
