KENUCO 19 Inch Steel Vertical Rack and Wall Mountable Server Rack Mount (Black-2U)

Upon unboxing, we were worried that the rack wasn't going to be sturdy enough to hold the equipment we planned to install. It just doesn't appear that beefy. We were definitely wrong. Give it a good mounting surface (not just drywall and anchors) and it will easily handle quite a lot of weight.We initially planned on one switch and a patch panel, and later an additional switch and a network video recorder. After solidly mounting the rack to a sturdy wooden wall structure, we mounted what we had already received and then piled on some extra weight just to be sure it would hold what we planned. There wasn't a hint of a problem and we could probably fill the fifth position on the rack as well, without any concern.The supplied mounting screws and nuts for mounting equipment all fit well and were easily added as needed. Overall, a great value for the money for those in need of a vertical mount rack.

Very high quality item made of very thick metal. No doubt that it can hold its rated weight. Comes with very high quality rack Mount nuts and bolts too, easy to turn the bolts by hand to get them started.Be prepared to buy your own screws/wall anchors though, they only included some short wood screws that are nowhere near long enough to mount on a stud, not wall anchors like in the picture. The screws actually worked great for me since I was mounting under a desk, but they definitely would have failed if I was wall mounting.

Very sturdy and well built in general. Aa glaring weak point is the threaded holes. I'm sure I'll get many years of service from it. Unfortunately many of the threaded holes are gummed up and unusable. I'm not sure it they are just badly tapped or if they are painted shut, but screws do not thread in easily at all. I was able to get some but not all of the screws to thread in at least partially. I expect that the unit will stay up and hold my fairly light devices despite the missing fasteners, but to use this for it's full stated capacity I'd need to retap the thread and or replace the welded-on nuts so all could be used. For what this costs, the threads should all work like butter.

Feels like a sturdy option for a small office or such. Can also be purposed to hang under vs against a wall.

I hung a 6U rack from the bottom of a shelf (so 90 deg from it's intended orientation). Works fantastic. I have a patch panel, 1U switch (15lb, 12" deep), and shelf in it. Works fantastic. There are four screws connecting the side panels to the top on each side and the steel is very thick so IMO it's plenty strong enough to work in this way.

Low voltage closets are getting smaller and smaller with the footprint of buildings shrinking. This product allows installers to place rack mount equipment vertically in tight spaces. Works very well. Which my local supply houses would stock stuff like this. Its seems these days that no one want to keep things on a shelf. Cost too much money.

I couldn't be happier with the quality of this rack. The sheet metal is nice and thick and it assembles in seconds. I am using it as a horizontal ceiling mount rather than it's intended orientation, and it is perfect.
