Eaton Tripp Lite Series SmartRack 6U Low-Profile Switch-Depth-Plus Wall-Mount Mini Rack Enclosure, Wide

The Eaton Tripp Lite SmartRack 6U Low-Profile Switch-Depth-Plus Wall-Mount Mini Rack Enclosure is the ideal compact solution for securely housing network equipment in spaces where every inch counts. Designed for branch offices, classrooms, retail locations, and service desks, this enclosure combines sturdy steel construction with a space-saving footprint to keep critical devices accessible, organized, and protected. Its Switch-Depth-Plus capability provides the extra depth needed to accommodate deeper switches and dense cabling, while thoughtful design choices deliver improved airflow, cable management, and serviceability in a small-form-factor enclosure.

  • 6U capacity with a compact footprint - This wall-mount mini rack offers six rack units of mounting space for standard 19" equipment, including small switches, patch panels, and compact UPS units, all housed in a slim enclosure that fits tight spaces without sacrificing accessibility or security. Ideal for wall alcoves, the back of desks, or utility rooms, it helps you consolidate gear while keeping it within easy reach for maintenance and upgrades.
  • Switch-Depth-Plus design for deeper gear - The Switch-Depth-Plus configuration increases internal depth, enabling installation of larger, deeper network devices and cabling assemblies. This design minimizes the need for awkward workaround solutions and reduces the risk of blocked airflow, helping you maintain reliable performance even as your network grows.
  • Wall-mount enclosure for tight spaces - Specifically engineered for wall mounting, this enclosure delivers robust protection for your critical infrastructure without occupying floor space. Its wall-mount form factor makes it a practical choice for branch offices, classrooms, retail kiosks, clinics, and other environments where floor space is at a premium but dependable connectivity remains essential.
  • Security-first enclosure - A lockable front door provides controlled access to sensitive networking gear, helping deter tampering in shared or public environments. The enclosure is designed to resist everyday interference while still offering convenient access for IT staff during maintenance and upgrades.
  • Integrated cable management and airflow - Built with cable routing options, vented panels, and adjustable rails, this SmartRack enclosure helps you keep cables neatly organized and separated from airflow streams. The result is easier installation, simplified maintenance, and improved cooling efficiency in a compact cabinet that often sits in smaller rooms or office spaces.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series SmartRack 6U Low-Profile Switch-Depth-Plus Wall-Mount Mini Rack Enclosure

  • Plan and assess the installation site: Choose a sturdy wall with accessible cable routes and sufficient clearance for door opening and maintenance. Confirm wall structure and load capacity to support the enclosure and mounted equipment.
  • Gather installation hardware: Collect the enclosure’s mounting screws, wall anchors appropriate for the wall material, and any included rails or brackets. Have a drill, level, and a helper ready to assist with alignment and mounting.
  • Prepare the interior: If your configuration requires adjustable rails, install these inside the enclosure at the correct height to match your equipment. Tighten rails securely to prevent movement during equipment insertion.
  • Mount the enclosure to the wall: With a second person supporting the unit, align the enclosure against the wall and mark drilling points through the mounting holes. Drill and insert anchors as needed, then fasten the enclosure firmly to the wall, ensuring it is level and stable before proceeding.
  • Install equipment and organize cabling: Slide 19" components onto the rails, connect inter-device cables, and route power and data cables through the enclosure’s pass-throughs or cable management features. Keep cables neatly organized to maintain airflow and simplify future changes.
  • Secure and test: Close the door, engage the lock if security is required, and perform a power-on test to confirm device functionality and network connectivity. Verify that ventilation remains unblocked and that cable management supports ease of future servicing.
  • Documentation and maintenance: Create a simple diagram or inventory of installed equipment and cable routes for future IT changes. Periodically inspect mounting hardware, door seals, and cable routing to preserve performance and security over time.
