StarTech.com 1U Vertical Wall Mount Rack Bracket, 19", 56.7 kg
1U · 19"Vertical mount56.7 kg loadTAA compliant
The StarTech.com RK119WALLV is a 1U steel bracket that mounts a single 19-inch device vertically on a wall — the device stands on its side with the front panel facing out — rated for 56.7 kg (125 lb), which makes it suitable for a 1U switch, patch panel or router where there is no room for a rack.
Mounting vertically keeps the footprint on the wall small, since only the height of the bracket (about 50 cm) and the device depth stick out. StarTech.com states it supports 19" equipment of any depth. The bracket is black steel with square-hole L-shaped rails (EIA/ECA-310-E), ships fully assembled, and includes M5 cage nuts and screws plus wood screws for mounting on timber.
Before you order: The included equipment hardware is M5, not M6 — if your device came with M6 screws, use M6 cage nuts instead. The supplied wall screws are for wood surfaces only; for brick, concrete or plasterboard you need suitable anchors, and StarTech.com does not publish a load rating for those walls.
What's in the Box
- 1 × 1U vertical wall-mount bracket (assembled)
- 4 × M5 screws

What It Means in Practice
- Mount a 1U switch or patch panel on the wall with its ports facing forward, next to a desk or in a comms closet.
- Vertical mounting saves wall width compared with a horizontal bracket.
- Any device depth is supported, according to StarTech.com.
- Wall holes are 16" (406 mm) apart to match standard stud spacing.
What Will Not Work
- It holds only 1U — not multiple devices.
- The included wall screws are not suitable for masonry or plasterboard.
- It is an open bracket, not a lockable enclosure.
- M6 equipment screws will not fit the included M5 cage nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount it on a concrete wall?
Yes, but you need suitable anchors and screws; the included screws are for wood only.
Will my switch with M6 screws fit?
The rails are square-hole, so yes — use M6 cage nuts instead of the included M5 set.
How deep can the device be?
StarTech.com states the bracket supports 19" equipment of any depth; in practice check the clearance in front of the wall.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Vertical 1U brackets are ideal for a single switch or patch panel in small offices, shops or ceiling voids. Plan for the wall material — most failures come from the wrong anchors, not the bracket. For multi-device wall setups, see hinged brackets and wall cabinets in our
rack accessories range.
✓ Buy it if you need to wall-mount one 1U device vertically in a small space.
✕ Skip it if you need to mount several devices, or want a lockable enclosure.
→ Also consider StarTech.com WALLMOUNTH4 4U hinged bracket for patch panels with rear access.
