NavePoint 6U Wall Mount Open Frame 19 Inch Server Equipment Rack Threaded 16 inch Depth Black

I almost didn't purchase this rack because of other reviews complaining about "non standard rack screws" and "non standard spacing" and difficulties in assembly. I've been a broadcast engineer for over 30 years so I'm perhaps a little more knowledgeable about equipment racks than some, or at least I hope so! First on the screws. There are two imperial standards for rack screws, #10-32 and #12-24. Now, I admit the #12-24 is not real common in modern racks, but was very common thru the 80's, 90's and into the early 2000's. I (like most pros) prefer the 10-32 because they are more common now and I just like fine thread fasteners. But the the #12-24 fasteners this rack uses are "standard". I purchased a bag of "Rack Gold 12-24" screws with this rack, and they work very, very nice. The rails were all threaded nice and everything worked smoothly with the Rack Gold hardware. The rack spacing was 100% correct, if anyone had an issue mounting gear in this rack, it's because their gear was not EIA compliant. That brings me to assembly. This rack comes in 3 pieces and bolts together with 4 bolts in about 5 minutes. Doesn't get much easier than that. Amazingly, the rack is very sturdy when assembled, despite only using 4 fasteners. It's a very clever design. It is constructed from nice heavy grade steel, and is very, very, solid when mounted to the wall. I used two 1/4" lag screws and two 1/4" toggle bolts to mount on a wood stud wall. It doesn't move, lol. Once mounted there is 15 3/4" of depth from the front of the rail to the surface the rack is mounted to. Much deeper than the 11-12" you commonly see on these racks, yet still will fit in most closets. I've been called a "hardware nazi" more than once, and I honestly can't complain about any aspect of this rack. Would I prefer the 10-32 hardware? Yes, but with quality 12-24 screws it works great. Just buy it.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a 6U rack. It's lightweight and easy to hold in place to bolt to the wall, but still feels sturdy. It came with mounting hardware, but I ended up using some of my own bolts that I had on-hand and thus cannot speak to the sturdiness of the included hardware. It also came with its assembly screws which tolerated being installed with an impact driver, and conveniently also came with a handful of rack mounting screws. It gives you pretty good bang for your buck.

Assembly was straightforward. Once it was on the wall I felt like I could stand on it!

I need 4 for a job im doing. I ordered 2 for now to make sure they are good enough and not flimsy china crap. Only had 1 problem, the screw holes arent the typical AV size of 10-32. They provide 12-24 screws but they dont fit either. The only screws that fit were the same M6 screws used to put the rack together. They provide enough to install two devices so im ok. The metal is very heavy duty and sturdy. I like that enough to buy a couple more.

It's a pretty basic rack, but it works well and it came with the cement anchors. You need a 3/8" masonry bit to use them and ideally a hammer drill. Don't drill too deep because it will be a pain to tighten, and the included hardware is pretty soft so don't over-tighten it.

Assembled it and loaded it up, installed two 1U units and a shelf to hold accessories and UPS.

This rack is very strong and stable , even before it's mounted to a wall. I think I could use it as a pull-up bar. I ended up mounting a fairly heavy 1U UPS in the lowest available location. I thought I'd have to add a shelf or rails for it, but if you use the very lowest position, the outer part of it actually rests on the lower "beams" of the rack. Perfect! I prefer this type of open rack for my small home network setup, where I'm not concerned about equipment security. It's so easy to access from 5 of the six sides. The mounting and assembly holes of this rack are all precision tapped for metric screws, and they all seem to be perfectly aligned. I would have given it 5 stars for assembly and installation, except the mounting screws provided are poor quality. Half of them stripped and became unusable. Fortunately the screws are softer than the rack itself, so the rack's threads weren't damaged. I already had a good supply of the right size screws and my screws all went in smoothly.I would recommend this rack to anyone. Just be sure to use some better screws when securing your equipment.

I've gotten 2 of these so far and they are sturdy and easy to assemble, units fit in well. I had no problem with screws fitting and holding. But I do agree that they should give at least enough mounting screws to mount all the slots, instead of just half of them.
