Server Racks and Cabinets
9U Wall Mount Network Server Rack Cabinet Enclosure
19" 6U Wall Mount Network DVR NVR Data Cabinet Enclosure
Organise Your IT Setup with Professional Rack Solutions
Server racks house network switches, routers, DVR systems, and other IT equipment in a single, secure location. Wall-mount server designs save floor space while making equipment easy to access for repairs and upgrades. The ventilated panels keep equipment cool, stopping overheating that can break expensive gear.
These racks adhere to the 19-inch standard size, with height measured in rack units (U). One U equals 1.75 inches tall. The 19" 6U Wall Mount Network DVR NVR Data Cabinet Enclosure gives 6U of space in a compact 35cm height, perfect for small to medium networks.
Additional rack accessories, such as the 1U sliding shelf, provide flexible storage for equipment that doesn't mount in standard rack holes.
How to Choose the Right Server Rack Cabinet
Start by counting the number of rack units your current equipment requires. Add 20-30% extra space for future growth. Wall-mounted options are well-suited for lighter loads, while floor-standing racks are ideal for heavier setups with higher weight capacities.
Check the internal depth to fit your equipment properly. Most network gear needs a depth of 25-30cm, but some servers need more. The 9U Wall Mount Network Server Rack Cabinet Enclosure provides extra space for growing networks with 9RU of mounting space.
Look for good ventilation with front and side vents. Security features, such as lockable doors, protect expensive equipment. Cable management helps keep wires organised and air flowing freely. Consider whether you need an open frame rack for easy access or an enclosed rack for security.

What do server racks do?
Server racks organise network equipment, protect it from damage, improve airflow around devices, provide security with locks, and facilitate easier cable management.
Why are server racks so expensive?
High-quality racks utilise thick steel and precise manufacturing, and include features such as ventilation, locks, and adjustable components. The added cost also reflects the value that server racks offer in terms of security and organisation. Many setups also require cable management accessories, which further enhance functionality and efficiency.
How much do server racks cost?
Server rack prices vary by size and features. Basic wall-mount units are more affordable, while larger racks with advanced features are more expensive. Focus on long-term value over initial price.
Should server racks be grounded?
Yes, server racks need proper grounding to prevent electrical problems and reduce interference. Quality racks include grounding points for safety.
Do server racks have weight limits?
Wall mounted server rack shelves typically hold 50-100 kg, depending on their construction and mounting. Always check the weight limit and use proper wall anchors for your setup.
How do you keep cables organised inside a server rack?
Use cable management panels, vertical guides, and velcro ties. Keep power and data cables separate, avoid bending them too sharply, and clearly label all connections.
Do server racks require special cooling solutions?
Basic server racks utilise natural airflow through vented panels. Dense setups may require additional fans or temperature monitoring, especially in hot Australian weather conditions.
Are wall-mounted server racks a good option for small spaces?
