6U Wall Mount Server Cabinet Network Rack Enclosure Locking Glass Door by Tedgetal

This product title lists it as “wall mount server cabinet network rack enclosure” which includes contradictory keywords that suggest it is a server rack enclosure when, in reality, it is an enclosure for network equipment NOT servers. The dimensions under “About this item” are correct, however a quick glance at the pictures and title seem to indicate it is a 9u rack with a depth of 30” (which is the standard depth for typical servers). Searching for “server rack enclosure”, or any permutation thereof, on Amazon shows a plethora of network equipment enclosures which is more of an Amazon problem than the seller, however removing the keyword “server” from the listing would help prevent these results from showing when one is looking for a server rack instead of a network/equipment rack. Despite this shortcoming, the rack is sturdy and fairly easy to assemble once you dig out the magnifying glass to view the included assembly instructions. The assembly instructions refer to the parts by alpha-numeric designations, but the parts are not labeled and the pictures in the instructions are a bit difficult to decipher. If you’re looking for a network/equipment rack, then this one will certainly do the job. If you’re looking for a server rack, then keep looking because this won’t fit the bill.

I got the 9u rack, and am happy with my purchase. The metal (steel I assume) is thick, and in no way flimsy. The paint (or powder coat, not sure) is good, and it arrived with no chips or scratches. All hardware (plus extras) came in individually labeled bags, and was well machined. The manual was just ok, but honestly the rack assembly is straightforward, and it could probably be done without a manual. The one issue I had was aligning the front panel after the sides, top, and bottom were on. I’m not sure if I was hitting some tab I couldn’t see, but it seemed like it took more force than would be expected to get it on. Loosely screwing the front panel on helped to keep the top and bottom from falling off. In general this is a well made rack, with well machined hardware. If I needed another one, I would buy it again.

Know what you are ordering. This is a shallow depth rack. Mind you it's a really well built one, but it is shallow. Better for NVR and house music/PA. Do not order this product if you are installing anything over 14" deep. Full depth 2U (see pics) did not fit. Also, they painted the brand name on the bottom plate as opposed to the top plate. Still an unbelievable value for the money.

Do you know how they say read the assembly document all the way through before you start? This was certainly one of those. Would have saved a bunch of time. Ok, first, this was purchased based on its price point. When I finished, it was a solid, secure little box, which was what I was after, for lowest cost possible, to help fit my customers needs. Biggist complaint... the knock out tabs for cable entry were a pain to remove. But this is not unique to this cabinet. The other issue I encountered was I would have appreciated if the sides had a "front" label on them... I really appreciated the mounting template. Wish more companies would provide the same. Would I purchase this product again? Probably....

Easy to assemble and install. The top and bottom square 'knockout' plates for wires are tough. make sure you have a good set of pliers to snip, and a file to de-bur if you intend to use them.

Look, I’ve read a ton of reviews on a ton of racks before buying. Is it thinner metal susceptible to dents? Yes. But it’s not a soda can. Yes a drop or decent hit will potentially bend this. Aggressive shipping could damage this. And perhaps QC could be better. But I gave it a go and mine came just fine. I didn’t need to spend twice as much for a .20 improvement. It does the job and looks great IMO. Assembly isn’t for 6 year olds but it’s also not that difficult as some claim. The instructions suck but it’s an Amazon shipped item. Assembly is the cost for affordability. Miles may vary perhaps, but I got a great unit and am satisfied.

This rack works great and looks amazing, I purchased the 9U, even though I say 12U on the video. Sorry for that. I have a switch, power strip, and a self and they all fit great. I even have my Cox Panoramic Wi-Fi in there as you can see in the video, all items fit great with no issues at all with overheating, so the airflow is perfect. I have it in my laundry room, so noise is not an issue. I haven't heard any noise from any of the items I have in there. Assembly was easy, it took about an hour for assembly and mounting on the wall. I used heavy duty wall anchors from Lowes, once for each hole, four holes total on the back. The package is big so heavy so be careful when you are moving this item because the door is glass, but for the most part it is packaged really well.

Pretty easy and straightforward to put together. Came with plenty of hardware and the glass door seems solid.
