12U Phantom Class Open Frame Swing-Out Rack

In the ever evolving tech world, the market for quality accessories can get outpaced by the development of new central products. When it comes to your IT environment, this is the last thing you want: to have a new piece of equipment that is essential to your business, but no infrastructure to implement it. Fortunately, the engineers and designers at Kendall Howard have their eyes on the cutting edge of tech, and they follow closely on its heels with some of the best mounting and racking solutions in the market.

The Benefits of a Swing-Out Rack

The 12U Phantom Class Open Frame Swing-Out Rack is a hot, must-have product that makes for effortless repair and maintenance of your equipment. The unsurpassed quality allows you to install rack mount equipment off the floor, and it can easily support up to 150 pounds. The pivoting 90-degree swing-out provides IT installers the access they need to install and manage routers, switches, cabling, patch panels, hubs, and other networking equipment. It easily mounts to any wall with a Kendall Howard Wall Mount Hardware Kit. The Kendall Howard Wall Mount Hardware Kit is your solution for doing any type of heavy duty wall mount due to the rugged anchoring technology employed.

With the pivoting rack mount frame, you are given easy access to the rear of the installed network equipment. Integrated positive stop prevents the gate from being opened more than 90 degrees to avoid causing damage or stress to cabling and connection points. Depending on how the room you are using it in is set up, you can choose to install the rack to swing out to either the left or the right. Both the front and the rear of the wall rack feature oblong cut outs for securing cable bundles.

Another key feature of this rack is the backless design. This allows the rack to be installed over existing equipment, which is perfect for upgrading a network that is already in use since you then save time by not having to disconnect cables and re-terminating.
