Review on πŸ”Œ StarTech.com 15U 19" Wall Mount Network Rack: Adjustable Depth 12-20", Open Frame Server Room Rack with Cage Nuts & Screws (RK15WALLOA) by Darrin Lucas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Specs are wrong but well done

I have wall space for a rack that is just over 30" vertical so I bought a 15U which indicates 30" tall. I calculated that a 15U would be 26-1/4" tall, so 30" made sense. I even double-checked the downloaded install guide and it showed 30 inches. To my surprise, however, it was 30-1/2 inches after assembly. This is a significant difference for me, but not for most of you. I sent it back and ordered 12U. It's all StarTech's fault, but Revain gets it right. I hope he survives. Returned as all corners of the box were damaged when received. Well made from heavy gauge steel including great parts. StarTech used heavy-duty hex cage nuts instead of threaded holes or weld nuts for assembly, but secured the back panel.

Pros
  • Racks and Cabinets
Cons
  • Expensive
