Review on 📦 KENUCO SOHO Mini 10'' Rack with Fan for Patch Panels, Shelves, SOHO Active Components - White-9U (10'' Mini Rack) by Rob Clark

I bought this cabinet on the recommendation of another reviewer. The wardrobe is of good quality. Mine had two big problems. A half shelf (brackets on the side) completely rusted. I had to sandblast and repaint. The fan that was on was ridiculously loud. I replaced the fan with an AC Infinity AXIAL LS1238, Quiet Muffin Fan, 120 VAC, 120mm x 38mm, Slow Fan. (The fan I bought was still a little louder than I wanted. If I were to do it again I would buy a variable speed fan.) So those two things reduced the stars, not the modifications required. If you want to install the Ubiquiti Unifi 150W 8 port switch, it will not fit without major modifications to the housing. The inside dimensions are too small for the switch. The width is too narrow to install the switch even if the mounting plates are offset to the outside of the rails. Even after this change, the inner cabinet was too narrow to accommodate a switch. It had to enter at an angle and be located behind the mounting plate. If I had another 1/8 inch it would fit. Another user was able to assemble it, so this may be a quality control issue when the cabinet is made. Another problem I found was that the cabinet wasn't deep enough for the switch. The power cord prevents the switch from fully entering the closet. I had to purchase a right angle power cord (CableCreation 3ft 18AWG Universal Power Cord for NEMA 5-15P to IEC320 C13 Right Angle Cord 3ft/Black). I also use both SFP ports to prevent the door from closing. To get this to work I used a dremel to cut out slots in the rear mounting plates to allow the switch to slide further into the cabinet (with the power cord at a right angle). . I also made cuts on the front mounting plates to move them outside of the rails. This gave me almost enough width, but was still about 1/8 inch less, but just enough to tilt the switch at an angle and place it behind the mounting plates. I also drilled holes in the front panels to mount the switch. With these modifications I was able to do this work. The door closes, but barely. The glass only touches the wiring. I also made the shelves out of $5 sheet aluminum that I bought from my local hardware store. I attached them to the half shelves with a flat steel bar I had. The cabinet fits Unifi switches but with more modifications.
