StarTech.com UNIRAILS3U Rack

Many data-centre managers struggle to fit non-rackmount servers or legacy networking gear into a standard 19-inch rack without wasting precious U space. The StarTech.com UNIRAILS3U Rack solves this by turning any 19-inch rack into a versatile 3U mounting platform, letting you secure desktop-sized equipment without sacrificing an extra unit.

StarTech.com UNIRAILS3U Rack - the flexible solution for crowded racks

When you try to cram non-rackmount hardware into a rack, you either end up with unstable shelves or you lose valuable rack height that could hold other critical devices. This creates inefficiency, higher cooling costs and a messy cabling environment. The StarTech.com UNIRAILS3U Rack eliminates those issues by providing a sturdy, adjustable-depth rail that fits any EIA-310 compliant 19-inch rack. It gives you a secure, three-crossbar frame that holds equipment firmly while keeping the rack’s footprint tight, so you can maximise space and maintain an organised layout.

Usages of StarTech.com UNIRAILS3U Rack

The rail can be employed in a range of scenarios:

• Mounting desktop servers that lack native rack brackets in a data-centre rack.
• Installing legacy networking switches or KVM units without dedicated rack kits.
• Re-using equipment with damaged or missing OEM rails from Dell™, IBM®, HP® or Apple.
• Adding temporary test rigs or development boards during project phases.
• Providing a secure platform for custom or discontinued hardware that cannot be otherwise rack-mounted.
