Review on πŸ”Œ RIVECO 5U Wall Mount Patch Panel Vertical Bracket: Efficient Networking Equipment Rack, Compact Design for Narrow Spaces, Easy Assembly – Black by Tim Surridge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent budget vertical stand for light use (see details). Recommended

I have a RIVECO 6U vertical wall mount to extend my wired ethernet in a part of my house that was added by an extension a few years ago. Because I wanted to limit the amount of cinder blocks or bricks I had to go through, I simply ran 4 CAT6 cables (2 LACP cables and 2 for private networks) into the dog room. I placed the RIVECO next to the switch panel and the water heater. The RIVECO only holds the switch and tie-in, but I like the extra space for the tie-in wire bundle as I have about 30 wires in it. The mount isn't as strong as it could be, but how much weight are you actually going to put on it? Knowing my rig would only handle 10 pounds (or less), I just adjusted it to a bolt. I didn't bother with the pre-punched keyhole slots, just drilled two small holes and attached the post with a couple of screws and washers. In general, I have nothing to blame RIVECO for. Sure it doesn't use thick steel, but I don't think you can really expect much more for $52. And in terms of value, I think it's easy to consider it a good buy. recommended

Pros
  • Racks and Cabinets
Cons
