StarTech.com WALLMOUNT8 — 8U Wall-Mount Network Rack, 35 cm Deep
8U · 19 inch35 kg capacity34.9 cm mounting depthShips assembled
The StarTech.com WALLMOUNT8 is an 8U, 19 inch 2-post open-frame bracket that mounts on a wall and holds patch panels, network switches and other shallow IT equipment up to 35 kg. Its low-profile 34.9 cm mounting depth makes it a compact termination point for small offices, shops and classrooms.
The steel frame is black, conforms to EIA/ECA-310-E, uses square-hole rails with M5 cage nuts, and ships already assembled with a stabilising bracket. A rear opening allows cables to come straight out of the wall, and the wall holes are spaced 16 inches apart.
Before you order: Despite some distributor listings, this is an open bracket, not a cabinet: there is no door, lock, glass or side panel. StarTech.com lists the capacity as 35 kg in its specification table (36 kg in other texts) — plan for 35 kg. For a lockable enclosure, choose a wall-mount cabinet instead.
What's in the Box
- 1 × 8U wall-mount bracket (assembled)
- 24 × M5 cage nuts and 24 × M5 screws with washers
- 1 × M6 K-nut
- 6 × wood screws
- 1 × instruction manual
What It Means in Practice
- 8U on the wall: typically two patch panels, a 24-port switch, a router and a cable manager.
- Up to 34.9 cm of mounting depth — deep enough for most wall-mount switches.
- Arrives assembled; mount it and start installing equipment.
- Open design gives easy front and side access and free airflow.
What Will Not Work
- No door, lock or side panels — not suitable for public or dusty areas.
- Full-depth servers and UPS units will not fit.
- The supplied wood screws may not suit your wall; plasterboard or masonry needs proper anchors.
- The wall must support at least four times the loaded weight, per StarTech.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a closed cabinet?
No, it is an open 2-post wall bracket without door or side panels.
Will a 24-port switch fit?
Yes, as long as it is no deeper than 34.9 cm and the total load stays within 35 kg.
Can I use the included wood screws?
Only on a solid timber wall or studs; other walls need suitable anchors.
