Inter-Tech IPC 20-Inch Telescopic Rails — Slide-Out Mounting for 19-Inch Server Cases, 440-495 mm
20-inch / 500 mmRack depth 440-495 mmMax 30 kgNot for 1U cases
The Inter-Tech 88887204 is a set of 20-inch (500 mm) telescopic rails for 19-inch server and IPC cases, fitting racks with a mounting depth of 440-495 mm and carrying up to 30 kg, so a case can slide out of the rack for service without being unscrewed.
Telescopic rails are what turn a rackmount case from a fixed box into a serviceable server: pull it forward, open the lid, swap a drive or a fan, slide it back. The rails fix to the front and rear 19-inch rails of the cabinet with the four supplied brackets, and the inner members attach to the side of the case. Inter-Tech builds them in 1.1 mm steel with a silver finish, and they add 49 mm of mounting height including the brackets.
Before you order: Inter-Tech states these rails are not suitable for 1U cases (the only 1U exception is the Inter-Tech K-126L). Check two things before ordering: the case has 2U or greater height with rail mounting points on its sides, and the distance between the front and rear 19-inch rails of your cabinet falls within 440-495 mm. The mounting depth depends on how the brackets are fitted in the rack.
What's in the Box
- 1 set of 20-inch telescopic rails (left and right)
- 4 x brackets for attaching the rails in the rack, with screws
What It Means in Practice
- Service without dismounting: the case slides forward on the rails for access to drives, fans and cards.
- Load up to 30 kg covers a typical 2U or taller storage or compute case.
- Fixed mounting depth range of 440-495 mm — measure your rail-to-rail distance first.
- The rails take 49 mm of height with brackets, so plan the U position of the case accordingly.
What Will Not Work
- 1U cases (except the Inter-Tech K-126L).
- Cabinets where the front-to-rear rail distance is outside 440-495 mm.
- Cases without side mounting points for rails.
- Loads above 30 kg: fully populated heavy storage chassis need a heavier rail kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 20-inch or 26-inch rails fit?
Measure the distance between the front and rear 19-inch rails of your cabinet. The 20-inch set covers 440 to 495 mm; for 550 to 650 mm choose the Inter-Tech IPC 26-inch set.
Do they fit a 1U case?
No. Inter-Tech lists them as unsuitable for 1U cases, with the K-126L as the only exception.
Are the rails sold singly?
No, the set contains the rails for both sides of the case plus four rack brackets with screws.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Rails are the accessory most often forgotten when a rackmount case is ordered — and the one you miss most the first time a drive fails. Measure the rail-to-rail depth of your cabinet before choosing between the 20-inch and 26-inch Inter-Tech sets. See more
19-inch rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you have a 2U or taller 19-inch case and a cabinet with 440 to 495 mm between front and rear rails.
✕ Skip it if your case is 1U, or your rack rails are more than 495 mm apart.
→ Also consider the Inter-Tech IPC 26-inch telescopic rails (88887129) for 550 to 650 mm mounting depth.
