Description
Engineered for IT professionals, the Ortronics Rack Frame is a fixed, wall-mount rack that blends efficiency, scalability, and professional aesthetics. Its self-squaring, quick-assembly design accelerates deployments in IT closets, telecom service rooms, and compact data centers, letting technicians focus on connectivity and configuration rather than alignment. Built to support a wide range of 19-inch equipment, this rack frame keeps gear organized, accessible, and airflow-friendly as your network grows—from edge deployments to core data-center needs. With a sturdy steel construction and a durable black finish, it stands up to the rigors of busy IT environments while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
- Self-squaring, quick-assembly design: Self-aligning joints and hardware ensure rails sit true and square from the start, accelerating installation and reducing post-mount alignment work, even when mounting multiple devices in rapid succession.
- Space-efficient fixed wall-mount: A wall-mounted frame frees valuable floor space in tight IT closets and service rooms, while keeping equipment easily accessible for maintenance and upgrades.
- Flexible RU configurations: Choose from 8RU, 15RU, or 30RU configurations to balance footprint and device density, supporting everything from lean, tidy cabling layouts to busier deployments without sacrificing airflow or serviceability.
- 12-inch depth option: The shallow 12-inch variant fits narrow enclosures and wall cavities, maximizing usable space while still accommodating standard 19-inch equipment and keeping cabling organized behind devices.
- Durable steel construction with cable-management: Built from robust steel with a durable black finish, this rack frame emphasizes practical cable routing and serviceability, helping bundles stay organized and accessible during installation, upgrades, and routine maintenance.

how to install Ortronics Rack Frame Wall Mt Rk Fxd 15Ru 30Hx19 78Wx12D Bk
Step 1 — Plan and locate: Select a wall location in your IT closet or compact data room with clear access for cable routing. Confirm wall studs or solid anchor points to support the rack’s weight and equipment load.
Step 2 — Prepare the wall mount: Gather appropriate fasteners for your wall type (studs or anchors). Verify the frame is oriented correctly for optimal cable routing behind devices and that all mounting holes align with structural supports.
Step 3 — Secure the frame to the wall: Attach the rack to the wall using the specified hardware, ensuring the frame remains level and plumb throughout installation. Tighten all fasteners evenly to maintain rigidity and prevent flexing under load.
Step 4 — Install rails and align components: With the frame secured, install the standard 19-inch rails per the manufacturer’s guidelines. The self-squaring design helps rails sit true, reducing setup time and post-install adjustments.
Step 5 — Mount equipment: Begin mounting patch panels, switches, UPS units, and other 19-inch devices. Use appropriate rack screws and verify weight limits and mounting tolerances for each device.
Step 6 — Route, organize, and secure cables: Utilize built-in cable pathways to arrange power, network, and fiber cables. Keep bundles tidy and away from cooling paths to preserve airflow and simplify future maintenance.
Step 7 — Final checks and commissioning: Re-check level and alignment, confirm all devices are securely fastened, and test accessibility for servicing. Confirm cables are adequately supported and that there is ample clearance for heat dissipation and future expansion.
