Frequently asked questions

• Is the Manhattan 19" Wall Mount Open Frame Network Rack compatible with standard 19" equipment?

  Yes. The rack is designed to accommodate standard 19" rack-mount gear within its 9U height, making it suitable for switches, patch panels, small servers, and related devices. Always verify the depth and weight of your hardware to ensure a proper fit within the available space.

• What makes the rear-hinged swing frame advantageous?

  The rear-hinged swing frame provides convenient access to rear panels and cabling without removing equipment from the rack. This design speeds maintenance, simplifies cable management, and reduces downtime when reorganizing or upgrading components.

• How does the open frame design benefit cooling?

  Open frame racks allow air to flow more freely around mounted equipment, helping dissipate heat more effectively than enclosed cabinets in tight spaces. This can contribute to lower operating temperatures and improved device reliability.

• Can I install this rack in a tight office or data closet?

  Yes. The wall-mount configuration is specifically intended for limited-space environments where floor space is at a premium, enabling clean, organized deployments without sacrificing accessibility.

• Are there any special installation considerations?

  Prioritize wall integrity and weight-bearing capacity, use appropriate anchors for your wall type, and ensure proper cable management. If you’re unsure about wall strength or mounting hardware, consult a qualified installer to confirm suitability for your setup.
