NavePoint 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet for 19” IT Equipment with Lockable Glass Door & Removable Side Panels, 2 Fans, 17.7” Deep, Pre-Assembled

I hate buying items without reviews so this one was a dice roll for me. The product came well packaged but i did have a dent at the top in the rear that is not visible at all after it was mounted on the wall so I went with it. And I am certain it was of no fault of NavePoint. I mounted this in my garage to have a centralized space for my network and it paid off. I think it turned out great!. I painted a piece of plywood the same color as my wall then mounted the rack to that for hopefully some extra strength. The fans are LOUD! I will not knock a star off here either because i do work in IT and rack fans are loud. I unplugged the fans since i only have a few electronics so heat shouldn't be a problem for me. The fans move a lot of air though so you will have to decide how you want to deal with the nose\airflow. Some adjustable speed fans would be a big plus here that i may do later on. I wish the rack came with a little more mounting hardware for screwing things to the rack. The glass front door is a nice touch so you can see your equipment without having to open anything. Even though i have not cleaned the finger prints off of it yet. I also purchased a tray to set all my equipment so they were not sitting on the base of the rack.

Overall the fit and finish is very nice, i didn't come across any rough edges during my install.

I had a specific space on an industrial shelf that I could locate a rack or cabinet, and I was limited in terms of height and depth. This fit the bill perfectly. The front mounts can adjust about 2" either way, and I needed to bring them to the front most position to accommodate a Unifi Dream Machine Pro and a Synology RS816 Rackstation (in the default position they were about 1.5" to long). The exhaust fans are very, very loud, but I, like many, don't have the need to run them. If I did I would probably have swapped them out for something quieter. I added a 48" USB powered LED light strip. I also note while the front glass door locks, the side panels do not.My build is complete and I've fully populated all 9Us of the rack (a custom 3D printed mount for the AT&T/Arris BGW210-700 Router/Gateway takes up 2U, and a Pioneer AVR takes up 2U on a shelf at the top, the rest are all 1U consisting of a 24-port patch panel, a Unifi USW-24-POE switch, the UDMP, the RS816 and a StarTech 8-port PDU at the bottom).

I wish I had known the sides can be removed without locking, not secure at all. Even worse the lock came spinning on the glass and I had to tighten it. This is an OK unit. Mostly sturdy. Very loud but effective fans. By the time I realized that the sides didn't have a locking option I didn't have time to return and reorder something else. So its in and its whats going to have to work for my camera system. Its sturdy enough to sit a small monitor on top as well.

Support was great. The door on mine broke and they sent me a new one. That said I highly doubt it's tempered glass. I appreciate the size, affordability, and utility of the unit. This fits my small space use case perfectly and I would buy one again. I have a 2U PDU, 1U UPS, 1U switch, modem, router, wifi AP, and 3 small IoT hubs. I covered the door with opaque black contact paper so I don't have to watch all of the blinking lights. The main downside for me is the top hole for cables has a cover that you have to cut or break off which can end up with jagged edges that you might want to file down.

Great clean look and feels sturdy. Easily fits patch panel, 8 outlet power strip, router, managed network switch driving 5 cameras and 2 APs via PoE along with multiple smart TVs and PCs. The fans keeps everything well within operating temperature. The fans could be a bit quieter, but not a big deal.

Pros:- inexpensive, given what it is.- Very sturdy upright poles for hardware attachment - best feature (6U poles are well marked and aligned well)- Detachable sides, door.- Space between the cage bar (6u positions) and the front is about three inches. AMPLE room for LAN cables, handles for servers, etc. Very nice room. For example, the handles on SuperMicro 1U units are well back from the front and cables are not stressed at all w/ the door closed.Cons- Didn't realize that the back plate is fixed - cannot open the back side at all. (certainly not a fault of advertising though)- WORST CAGE NUTS EVER! As in ... when you attach them, they will easily fall out. When you get them to stick, apply pressure and attach the screw for a device they spin in place. SO thrilled I had someone give me a bag of HP grade cage nuts and screws, if I didn't have that I'd be sending this item back.- Access to the lower most and upper most cage nut positions is very awkward.

Great netowk rack. Easy to mount. Only issue is that side panels don't lock. They fans are also VERY loud so I chose not to use them.

Very nice network rack. Would purchase again! Fits all of my stuff with ease just wish the sides were lockable as they are able to be taken out with one switch. However for a home network it isn't that big of an issue. The fans are loud but they do the job.
