SRW6U SmartRack 6U Low-Profile Switch-Depth Wall-Mount Rack Enclosure Cabinet

The Tripp Lite SRW6U Wall mount Rack Enclosure Server Cabinet was an excellent value for a small rack enclosure. We needed a lockable cabinet. This was perfect. It is very well made and the price was excellent through Walmart. I would buy this again.

The product is great and looks sharp and feels like good construction. BUT, be careful of your application. I bought it to put on the wall in my theater and was disappointed about the following: The space inside is barely enough for an average size home receiver, and that is with the wires all jammed against the pack (which I am not a fan of). There is only one pair of vertical rods to attach components to which virtually only works with network equipment which have front-facing metal flaps that screw into vertical rods, so receivers, DVD players and such cannot be mounted inside this product, they kind of have to just sit on top of each other... (again, I'm not a fan of... cause for too much heat). My last complaint is regarding the mounting plate. While it it true the hole are spaced to match the 16" stud code behind your drywall, it is not designed for a corner application, which is where I wanted this unit to go. I had to mount if several inches away from the corner and now there is an odd gap (dead space). The removable side walls and the ability to open the door left or right hand is cool not to mention the lock feature. By no means am I saying don't by it, just know what you are going to do with it exactly and the dimensions and instal location before making the commitment.

I'm using this to house a 24-port switch, wireless AP and ethernet-controlled power switch in an extended star. I needed a secure cabinet, and this fits the bill. I love how it has provisions for fans to be mounted in the bottom for extra cooling capacity down the road.

I bought this for my home network. I have a study/work room that I have my equipment located in and was looking for a small cabinet that could rack mount equipment. Although this unit is designed to go on the wall, it works perfectly on the floor. I mounted four small wheel casters on the bottom so that I could move it around. Solid construction, flexibility in opening the front, sides, and small outlets in back. Worth the buy.

I was able to hang this unit by myself for an expansion to our network. This is a great unit and I will buy another for future expansions.

If you need a small business network enclosure for your data or security network, this is a value priced solution that has great retrofit access from removable side panels for access after initial installation. Very functional.

I have installed this unit in my new home - I have Cat6 from all rooms to into a patch bay in this rack unit. The quality of manufacture is first rate - thoughtful design features that are flexible for a range of uses. My only complaint is that it ships with 12 nuts/screws. This is a 6U unit and if you install 6 x 1U devices (switch, power supply etc) then you need 6 x 4 = 24 nuts/screws. Sure you can buy more screws but they tend to come in bags of 50. The screws are so cheap why not include 24 with the unit? Overall this unit is great and I would recommend.

This little rack is perfect for small servers. I have a HP DL320e blade server (1.7" (4.32cm) Height x 17.11" (43.46cm) Width x 15.07" (38.30cm) Length) and it fit. It was a little tight on the back end because of the power cable but it will work. Easy install and well built. Lots of ventilation. Will need to purchase exhaust fans and maybe a power strip made for it next.

The racks are solid and they function quite well, I've used these in the past and purchased 5 more recently. The screw kits that were included in these 5 were random, no two were a like. Some had the plastic spacers for all the screws while others had none or only a few, some had missing square mounts, one set had more screws in it than could fit in every single hole on both side while others didn't have enough for half. Some of the internal mounted blocks were twisted or severally damaged when installed and I was unable to reuse them. At least one of the enclosures the horizontal hole where the vertical pole was mounted had been rounded out by someone over torquing the screw to the point the square nut just spun in the square hole until it was round. I had to use vice grips and a drill to get them apart. Mounting these to a wall: A+ I like the top piece that goes onto the wall first and then you slide it over it. Space for UPS, switches and patch panels: A+ Just the right depth and width for what I needed Locking doors: A+ Unlike the previoius versions, there is only one key for this model which makes things more simple, previous had a seperate key for the side panels as where this has an internal latch that locks it shut and just the keyed door on the front. Ease of use: A+ Once you get the rails where you want and in the format you want (pre tapped holes or square holes for rackmount nuts) things just go together. All the doors come off for easy access from the front or two sides. Side doors are interchangable and don't require much clearance to remove unlike previous versions. Recommendation for easy install: Lay the rack on it's back, remove the front door and load everything you want in and screw it to the rails, much easier than trying to balance them horizontally, especially a UPS or other heavy equipment. Consistancy of included hardware: D- Read the top half about why. I would still recommend getting them, just be sure to buy your own screws and nuts or you may find yourself in a bind. Also, there is no wall mount hardware included, which for me isn't an issue as every wall is different but may frustrate some people who do not know it's not there.

I purchased this unit only to find out that it's depth is too shallow to accommodate the Online UPS I had ordered also. It take a bit od sleuthing to determine the proper fit. Had I had known, I would have bought a deeper unit.
