Review on ECHOGEAR 20U Open Frame Rack for Servers & AV Gear - Durable 4 Post Design with 2 Vented Shelves & Wall Mount Capability by Alejandro Raney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality rack at an affordable price

I looked at many server racks before deciding on this one. For the price it seemed worth it. I am happy to report that it does not disappoint. Wi-Fi is having problems in and around my house. Old construction or wiring causes interference, overlapping signals, and a lack of proper space to place access points throughout the home. I decided to set up a small network stack in my basement and run ethernet to each room as needed, but I really didn't want to rack mount it in the very old basement walls. I needed something strong enough to handle some of the main network components, with room to add a server at some point, big enough to avoid potential water leaks, and sturdy enough that I could feel comfortable putting his gear inside place. It goes with honor. The construction is solid and very durable. No wobbling or slipping after assembly. The included shelves came in handy for storing my small network gear (Hubitat, Hue Hub, etc.) and the included mounting screws fit my gear perfectly. I currently have a Cisco managed switch and patch panel that are a perfect match. Definitely recommended!
