Review on πŸ”§ UCTRONICS Ultimate Raspberry Pi 4 Rack: 19" 1U Rackmount with OLED Display, Power Switch, Cooling Fan & All IO on One Side by Oscar Kaufman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent option for rack mounting Raspberry Pis

I was looking at a non-POE version of this rack mount for our Raspberry Pis but hesitated because I really wanted POE. I checked the UCTRONICS website to see if they have a POE model and surprisingly it was on their website. I've emailed the sales team to ask when it will be available on Revain. They were quick to reply that it would be on Revain in about a week and said they would email me when the time came. Of course, they kept their word and emailed me the link about a week later. Ordered, delivered in a few days. I installed a Pi that evening and found that the instructions could use some improvement (they have since emailed me updated/improved instructions). The trickiest parts were: 1) Installing the nuts holding the screen to the stand onto the mounting stud 2) Installing the SD card adapter flex circuit board to the top/POE board. Tip: once you insert it into the slot, don't pull it out, thinking it'll be just as easy to insert the second time. Once you have one Pi on the rack, the rest is up and running quickly (my 10 year old son did this with a guide from what I learned on the first). Overall build quality and functionality is excellent - just as described. It definitely brings order to my server/network rack and is exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended. Not only is the product great, but the pre-sales team at UCTRONIC was helpful, and the fact that they emailed me improved instructions without even asking me is a pretty good indication of the quality of the product company itself. If this makes you undecided, don't be, just get it.

Pros
  • . High quality workmanship: the rack is made of durable carbon steel, matte black powder coating, nothing breaks, paint chips, sharp open edges (panel corners are rounded and smoothed).
Cons
  • write later
