This adapter kit allows you to extend or reduce, by up to 10cm, the mounting depth of a rack unit (1U) of your server rack. If you are using the adapter kit in a two-post installation, the extenders support a total weight capacity of 4.5kg. If you are using the adapter kit in a four-post installation, the extenders support a total weight capacity of 40 kg, but you can also use two sets of extender brackets in a four-post installation and achieve the same capacity performance of weight.
This product meets the requirements of the US federal TAA (Trade Agreements Act), which allows government purchases from the GSA Program.
Install equipment that is too long or too short
You can use this adapter kit to install equipment in your server rack that is up to 10cm longer or shorter than the rack mounting depth.
Save money by installing all your equipment in a single rack
This adapter kit allows you to customize your server rack so that you can install equipment with a different depth, allowing you to install equipment with a different depth in the same rack. It’s an inexpensive and easy way to concentrate all your equipment in a single rack, so you only have to manage a single server rack (not two).
Flexibility in cable management
This adapter kit can also be used as a cable management aid. You can install equipment 10cm from the rails to prevent cables from sticking out of the rack. You can use this bottom rail adapter to install equipment that has bulky wiring, such as patch panels, PDUs, or network switches, to minimize strain on the cables and make them easier to access.
