Rackmount.IT RM-FR-T17: 19-inch rack kit for Fortinet FortiSwitch 108F
1U · 19-inchSignal WhiteFront-facing portsPower supply fixed in rack
The Rackmount.IT RM-FR-T17 is a custom 19-inch rack mount kit for Fortinet FortiSwitch 108F (FS-108F) that places the switch in 1U of rack space with its connections brought to the front, for IT teams and installers who want a desktop switch to sit properly in a network cabinet.
Desktop switchs are built to stand on a shelf, with ports at the back and a loose external power adapter. In a cabinet that usually means a device lying on a shelf and cables you cannot reach. This kit replaces that: the switch slides into a tray made for its exact shape, retainers hold it in place, the included cables link its ports to keystones on the front plate, and the power supply is fixed to the rack. Rackmount.IT quotes an assembly time of under three minutes.
Before you order: This kit fits only the models Rackmount.IT lists: Fortinet FortiSwitch 108F (FS-108F). It is not a universal shelf, so check the exact model name on the label of your device. Only the FS-108F is listed; the PoE versions (108F-POE / 108F-FPOE) are not on the compatibility list — ask us before ordering for those.
What's in the Box
- 1 x Rackmount.IT RM-FR-T17 rack kit, 1U, Signal White
- Retainers that hold the switch in the tray
- Keystones on the front plate plus the cables that connect them to the device ports
- Fixing for the external power supply inside the rack
- Not included: the switch itself, its power adapter and rack screws or cage nuts (use the set that came with your cabinet)
What It Means in Practice
- Patch cables plug into the front keystones, so you never reach behind the switch to add or move a connection.
- The power adapter is fixed in the rack, so a pulled cable or a cleaning session cannot switch the switch off by accident.
- It uses 1U (43.5 mm high) at standard 19-inch width and is only 216 mm deep, so it suits shallow wall cabinets as well as full-depth racks.
- Replacing the switch later is quick: release the retainers, unplug the short cables and slide it out.
What Will Not Work
- Models that are not on the list, even from the same product family: the tray is shaped for specific housings. FortiSwitch 108F-POE and 108F-FPOE are not listed for this kit.
- Mixed or unlisted desktop equipment: for that use a standard fixed or cantilever 19-inch shelf.
- It adds no ports, PoE, cooling or power; the switch's own connections are only extended to the front.
Key Features
Custom-fit tray
Shaped for the listed switch housings, so the device sits firmly without shelves, straps or cable ties.
Front-facing connections
The included cables run from the device ports to keystones on the front plate, so all patching is done from the front of the rack.
Power supply fixed in the rack
The external adapter is secured inside the kit, which prevents accidental power loss when cables are moved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the kit include the switch?
No. The kit is only the rack mount; the switch and its power adapter are ordered separately and fitted into the tray.
Do I need a deep rack?
No. The kit is 216 mm deep, so it fits most wall-mount cabinets as well as standard server racks. You only need 1U of free space at the front rails.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The FortiSwitch 108F is a compact desktop switch that is often deployed next to a FortiGate in a branch cabinet. The RM-FR-T17 gives it a 1U slot with front patching, so the switch sits in the rack like the rest of the Fortinet stack. Browse more mounting parts in our
