Tripp Lite 8U/12U/22U Expandable Wall-Mount 2-Post Open Frame Rack
Wall space is often all that is left in a back room or wiring closet. We built this open frame rack to hold network switches, patch panels, and heavy battery backups without claiming floor space. It adjusts to several heights during assembly, so you can expand the frame as hardware is added.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.
- Perfect for installing UPS systems, battery packs, network switches and patch panels in secure IT areas with limited floor space
- Houses EIA-standard 19 in. rack equipment up to 23.5 in. deep
- Maximum load capacity of 150 lbs.
- Assembles in 8U, 12U or 22U to meet current needs
- Expands to add equipment later without buying a bigger rack
How this one is built
Open frame layout
The open build leaves every side clear for running cable bundles and checking status lights. Air moves freely past warm power supplies and switches without the need for dedicated fans.
Expandable frame height
You assemble the uprights to match the gear on hand today and reconfigure them later if more shelf space is needed. Adding room does not require swapping out the whole backplate.
Wall mounting plate
Sturdy mounting brackets anchor the frame securely into wall studs. Getting battery modules and switches up onto the wall keeps walkways clear and protects equipment from floor-level hazards.
Standard equipment rails
The rails accept standard rack hardware, patch fields, and shelves up to a generous working depth. Cable ties and hook-and-loop straps lash directly to the steel uprights to keep drops tidy.
On the nameplate
These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
