Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack 10U Low-Profile Wall-Mount Enclosure with Clear Acrylic Window
The SRW10USG SmartRack 10U Low-Profile Wall-Mount Rack Enclosure is purpose-built to house 19-inch rack equipment in spaces where floor space is at a premium—network wiring closets, retail environments, classrooms, back offices, and other compact locations. This enclosure blends security, accessibility, and clean cable management in a compact footprint, so you can protect vital equipment without sacrificing performance or convenience. With a switch-depth design, a clear acrylic window for quick visual checks, and a hinged back for effortless maintenance, it’s engineered to streamline deployment and simplify ongoing IT and AV management in constrained spaces.
- Space-saving, wall-mount design: The 10U (U-spaces) enclosure presents a compact solution that maximizes vertical rack space while keeping equipment securely off the floor. Its wall-mount configuration reduces floor footprint and places critical networking hardware within easy reach, ideal for wiring closets, classrooms, retail checkouts, and back-office setups. The low-profile form factor ensures that even in tight rooms you gain organized, centralized access to all your 19-inch equipment without crowding neighboring devices or pedestrian pathways.
- Switch-depth, ready for 19-inch gear: Built to accommodate standard 19-inch rack equipment, this enclosure is optimized for switch-depth installations. It provides the appropriate depth to house small switches, patch panels, UPS units, and related components in a neat, orderly stack. This design minimizes gaps between devices, improves airflow pathways, and makes cable routing cleaner and more predictable, so you can deploy networks quickly while preserving air circulation around equipment.
- Clear acrylic window for quick status checks: A front-facing clear acrylic window offers immediate visibility into the equipment housed inside. This feature lets IT staff verify activity, monitor LED indicators, and perform lightweight inspections without fully opening the enclosure. The window contributes to faster maintenance cycles and reduces the need for constant door access, helping you keep downtime to a minimum while maintaining security and enclosure integrity.
- Hinged back for fast access: The hinged back design simplifies service and upgrade tasks. When you need to swap out a switch, patch panel, or other module, you can access the rear area with minimal disruption to surrounding equipment. This ergonomic feature accelerates rack maintenance, supports efficient cabling changes, and reduces the time technicians spend contorting to reach the back of enclosed gear.
- Secure, organized enclosure for constrained environments: The SmartRack enclosure combines a durable enclosure shell with thoughtful cable pass-throughs and mounting compatibility to keep installations neat and protected. By elevating equipment off the floor and providing a dedicated space for 19-inch hardware in a controlled environment, it helps reduce tampering risk and keeps critical IT assets safe from dust, accidental impacts, and misrouting of cables in busy rooms.
