Sysracks SRE 9.600 9U Wall Mount Cabinet, 24 inch deep
A sturdy, lockable 9U wall cabinet for small networks, with a heavy and fiddly install.
The short version
- Home labs and small offices that want network gear locked away on a wall
- Anyone mounting a modem, switch, patch panel and NVR in one tidy box
- Your equipment is deeper than the cabinet's 16 inch rail spacing allows
- You cannot reach wall studs or add a plywood backer
- You want an open frame rack for easier airflow and access
What owners like
- Strong welded frame and good workmanship for the class
- Good ventilation for a closed cabinet
- Arrives well packed
Common complaints
- Assembly instructions are poor
- The frame may not be perfectly square once built
- Heavy enough that two people are needed to mount it

What it does
A lockable 9U wall-mount cabinet for 19 inch network gear with a glass front door and removable side panels; the original generic 9U cabinet maps to this current Sysracks model.
- Locking glass front door lets you see status lights without opening the cabinet
- Removable, lockable side panels for access to cabling
- Adjustable mounting rails with U markings
- Cable entry points with caps, and a top panel set up for a cooling fan
- Flat pack shipping with wall mounting hardware included
A solid choice for a home office or small business that wants switches, patch panels and an NVR behind a locked glass door on the wall. The trade-offs are weight and setup: it ships flat packed, weighs close to 50 lbs empty, and needs studs or a plywood backer plus a second person to hang it.

Questions
How deep is the Sysracks 9U 24 inch cabinet inside?
The cabinet is 24 inches deep outside, and Sysracks lists a maximum rail to rail distance of 16 inches, so measure your deepest device first.
Does the Sysracks SRE 9.600 come with a fan?
The Amazon listing title says it comes with a fan, while Newegg describes a fan-ready top panel. Confirm with the seller before buying if active cooling matters.
Can you mount a 9U server cabinet on drywall?
Not safely with anchors alone. A Comstock roundup advises lag bolts into studs or a plywood backer board for cabinets in this weight class.

Newegg lists a 133 lb load capacity for this model.
