9U Swing Out Glass Assembled

If you need a deep cabinet, get this one. I returned 2x of a different brand due to quality issues and got a refund on the second return. It fits my Exacq 2U server which was a tall order. Easy to mount with one person. Also it looks real nice; I wish it was right in my office!

Installed this around 9 months ago, figured I’d take a pic and write a quick review.First, it’s reasonably solid. Think of this as a telco 2-post rack for short depth equipment with front and rear mounting and you will do fine. The unit is not flimsy at all and the hinges are awesome at a reasonable load level. I love swinging it open to get access to my switching from the rear.I have run into some limitations due to the depth with some standard rack accessories like shelving for the larger server in my picture — made for a four post rack but was just a little too long. A little time with a reciprocating saw and that was resolved to make it fit. As mentioned, if you think of it as a 2-post rack with front and rear, no issue. If you think of it as a 4-post you may run into depth issues with 4-post rack gear. It’s not a knock against this as a solution though. I’ve been in the server and networking business for 20+ years, I had certain expectations when I made the purchase.For what this is, I’m very happy with my purchase.

Really a great value for a swing out cabinet but it would be nice if they added mounting holes on 16" centers. The four mounting holes are for a wider spacing possibly for mounting on plywood. If you need to mount on studs you'll have to drill two of your own holes.

great cabinet

I received this cabinet with some damage & called the seller with my issue. They were polite & concerned with my issue. They gave me options to remedy the damage. Eric provided excellent customer service iMO offering a good resolution.I haven't mounted the box yet but it appears to be well made for my use. I'm using it for a Video Surveillance system & home network in a larger executive home.It came with a few cage nuts, keys for locks which are thankfully keyed alike, & a rail not shelf.No locks are on the removable side panels but there are holes for adding some.It is a 23.5” w x 23.5” d x 25” h.The cabinet is removable if needed at hinge for easier mounting.The glass door is reversible & easily removed for getting out of way when needed.The rails will work with Red Rackstuds which are much easier to use than cage nuts IMO.I will update my review after I actually mount & install the equipment.As for the damage I have owned companies much of my life. I always say ”You never truly know how good a company is until you have an issue”This company has GREAT caring Customer service which I really appreciate.

For a double hung wall mount cabinet, value is great. However we has some issues when installing on a job.We did not think to inspect the cabinet before a remote install and this is what we found.-Top left corner of the glass front facing door was dented where the stud holds the door to the frame (opposite of spring loaded pin to remove door). This caused the door to wobble when opening and closing. - Not that big of a deal, not worth the hassle while replacing right?-Missing circlips to keep the enclosure assembly attached to the primary hinges. - again not a big deal.- We took the assembly off to mount the back portion to the wall as it is lighter - this is why I like/ prefer these designs. Upon sliding the cabinet back into place the top hinge weld broke off the frame. The weld looked like it was just brazed on there and snapped. At first I thought maybe my helper let some weight off the assembly while holding it in place but after looking at it closer, I simply wouldn't trust these hinges to hold any significant weight, especially with the locks open and the cabinet swung out.Unfortunately a return on such a large item is a hassle and we needed to terminate wiring to a patch panel same day. Our solution was to refund the customer the cost for the defective item and drill two holes in the top and using a metal screw to hold it together.Very poor QC process. I suspect not all shipped items are like this, otherwise a decent value for the cost. Usually spend $600 on similar known brand enclosures but they come with a UL listing needed in some cities for permitting.

Dented corners and broken hinges ... Not the fault of the seller... Shipping by UPS is the problem.The product looks nice and clean however the hinges are very cheap. Made of small tubes about 2" long spot welded with a pin as a hinge. The use of a piano hinge would be much better. I don't feel this rack would hold much weight. Although heavy I don't think i will buy this brand again..The seller refunded me quick and return was quick and easy..

I went with this model due to it being pre-assembled. I also went with the 24" depth model on the swing-out hinge to support a few 1U servers. What can I say? It's a solid network cabinet for a homelab/consumer. The front glass door is a little wobbly so when you close the door, it needs to be handled with care, but it's glass...handle it with care anyways.The ONLY issue I ran into was my fault. I didn't measure the door opening to my closet and the cabinet ended up being too wide to get into my closet. Like others have said, it's not terribly difficult to remove the cabinet off the hinge. I was able to do it with little ease and afterwards, was able to get it into the closet.If you are looking for a solid network cabinet for your home project, this one is a solid deal- price and quality.
