Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack 23 in. Wide Mounting Rail Kit (SRVRTRAIL23)

Expand your rack’s versatility with the SRVRTRAIL23 Mounting Rail Kit from Tripp Lite by Eaton. This practical accessory converts standard 19" rack mounting capability into a true 23" wide solution, ideal for TelCo-grade deployments and environments that require a broader mounting footprint. Specifically designed to work with the 42U Wide Racks in the SR42UBWD family, this kit delivers a clean, secure upgrade path for carriers, data centers, and network closets that demand flexibility without compromising reliability. If your equipment footprint leans toward a wider 23" profile, the SRVRTRAIL23 makes it possible to install with confidence while keeping your existing 19" components compatible where needed.

With the SRVRTRAIL23 you gain a robust, space-efficient route to accommodate wider chassis, backplanes, and telecom gear without replacing your entire enclosure. The kit is engineered to withstand the rigors of professional IT and TelCo deployments, offering a sturdy metal construction, precise fit, and a finish designed to resist the bumps and scrapes of daily rack room life. It’s a smart, economical upgrade that unlocks new deployment options and helps you future-proof your rack infrastructure as your equipment footprint evolves.
