Tripp Lite 12U Wall-Mount Rack Enclosure Cabinet, Hinged Back, Low-Profile Switch-Depth (SRW12US)

Pros: Built like a tank For the most part, it's a well thought out design with some nice features like: reversable orientation just by turn it upside down well placed cutouts for cable pass through nearly everything is user adjustable integrated grounding

Cons: After receiving the rack, I came to the conclusion that I would be better off not wall mounting this monster. I ordered Tripp-Lite's caster kit that specifically mentions this rack model number. Two problematic issues - this rack has "sleeves" for the mounting bolts and the bolts leave about 1.5mm of exposed thread once fully inserted. This means another trip to the hardware store and more money on an already expensive endeavor. Secondly, two of the four mounting holes for each of the casters are tucked away behind rails and other pieces of the rack itself making it nearly impossible to properly mount the caster kit with fully disassembling the rack (probably more than Tripp-Lite would like you to). Another issue is that the dimensions of this rack might lead you to believe that you can rack things depth of say 16". In all practicality, you can't. If you wan't to rack a UPS, it's going to be tight and you may find yourself shopping around for some right angle power cables.

Overall Review: Some of Tripp-Lite's 2U UPS fit nicely because they're not too deep, but if you want to save 1U by getting a 1U UPS, check the dimensions first. Most of their 1U products are much deeper and are meant for server depth racks. Why are even the most simple, no moving parts rack accessories from Tripp-Lite priced like concession stand food at the movies?

Pros: Nice build

Cons: Only takes equipment which is about 14 inches deep.

Pros: 12U, not very heavy, hardware included.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I will be buying this for all wall rack installs.

Pros: The real beauty of this rack is how it swings out from the wall so you can get to the back of the servers. Great for my small server setup.

Cons: This rack really needs some bottom rails to support the bottom chassis when you have to install it. Very difficult for one person to hold it up while putting in the screws. Removable hinge pins would have made it easier to mount.

Overall Review: Better have a strong wall to mount this on. Mine is mounted to concrete blocks. You could set it down but then what would be the purpose of the hinged back?

Pros: Very versatile. Houses everything I put in it. Great panel access to every part of this rack.

Cons: Heavy and hard to move around but once in place, great rack.

Overall Review: You cannot go wrong if you are setting up a remote small office.
