Tripp Lite SmartRack 8U/12U/22U Expandable 2-Post Open Rack
The Tripp Lite SmartRack expandable wall rack grows with your installation. It is a low-profile 2-post open frame that can be set up as an 8U, 12U or 22U rack, so you can start small in a comms closet and extend it when more kit arrives.
It is designed for UPS depth, with a maximum mounting depth of 23.5 inches (about 597mm), and is rated for a 150lb (about 68kg) load. The open design keeps cables accessible and air moving, which suits telecoms closets, comms rooms and plant areas.
Important: the SmartRack rails are threaded for #12-24 screws, not M6 cage nuts. If you are moving equipment from a cage nut cabinet, use the screws supplied with the rack. This item ships flat-packed by courier from our UK partner, typically within 7-10 working days, and needs some assembly.
