Description

Upgrade your Cisco Codec EQ deployment with purpose-built Cisco Rack Ears for mounting in a 19-inch rack. These rack-mount hardware components are engineered to deliver a secure, clean installation that maximizes space efficiency while simplifying maintenance access in data centers and communications rooms. Designed to pair seamlessly with Cisco Codec EQ units, they provide sturdy support, precise alignment, and a professional, rack-ready appearance that helps keep your hardware organized and accessible. When installed, the Codec EQ sits flush in the rack, with cables routed neatly along the chassis into the rear cabinet. The result is a tidy, professional installation that supports efficient management of your Cisco audio/video communications hardware. Whether you are mounting a single unit or scaling to multiple devices, these rack ears ensure stable operation, easy servicing, and a clean front profile that enhances airflow and accessibility.

  • Precise alignment and secure locking: The rack ears are precision-engineered to align perfectly with Cisco Codec EQ enclosures and standard 19-inch rack rails. When mounted, they lock the device into place with minimal vibration or movement, ensuring stable operation during routine handling, reconfigurations, or transport through a busy data center. This reduces wear on connectors and front-panel components, keeps front panels flush, and preserves the integrity of your network and audio pathways. The result is dependable performance with a professional, rack-ready appearance you can trust in mission-critical environments.
  • Enhanced space efficiency and airflow: The low-profile, flush mounting design allows the Codec EQ to sit cleanly within the rack footprint, creating predictable gaps for cable management and front-to-back airflow. By avoiding protrusions, the ears help prevent obstruction of cooling paths, contributing to cooler operation and reduced thermal stress. That translates into higher reliability, longer equipment life, and lower cooling costs, especially in dense deployments. The design also simplifies maintenance planning, enabling technicians to access the unit quickly without moving adjacent devices.
  • Cleaner front profile and cable routing: With rack ears, cables can be routed neatly into the back of the cabinet, reducing clutter and snag points that can slow service or cause accidental disconnections. The flush mounting presents a tidy, professional front, which improves visibility for indicator lights and status panels. This neat arrangement streamlines service tasks, accelerates diagnostics, and supports faster firmware updates across multiple Codec EQ units while preserving compliance with rack-mounting standards.
  • Rapid, tool-friendly installation with included hardware: Cisco’s rack ears ship with everything you need for a straightforward install. The hardware is selected to work with standard rack rails and the Codec EQ chassis, enabling a clean, tool-friendly process. Most installations can be completed with a standard screwdriver and the supplied screws, washers, and mounting plates. The design minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance, with clear alignment features that guide the unit into position and maintain consistent mounting across the rack.
  • Scalable deployments and long-term reliability: The rack-mount solution is designed for deployments where multiple Codec EQ units share a single rack. With consistent faceplate alignment and a predictable mounting footprint, technicians can plan swaps, firmware updates, and diagnostics quickly, reducing rack downtime. Whether you're expanding a small office installation or equipping a large communications room, these rack ears promote orderly arrangement, reliable service access, and a tidy front profile that remains appealing during audits and inspections.
