Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £172.99 ex-VAT this StarTech 2‑post 6U wall mount is a decent “get it off the floor and keep it tidy” option, especially if you’re dealing with light networking gear, patch panels, small switches, and maybe an AV appliance that doesn’t run too hot. The wall-mounted approach is great for small offices, telecom cupboards, and wall-space setups where every bit of floor area matters. Having a 1U shelf is also genuinely useful for a small router/NVR/kit you don’t want dangling or balancing on brackets.

That said, I wouldn’t treat this as a universal rack replacement. A 2‑post wall cabinet generally isn’t ideal for heavier servers or anything that needs serious rigidity—if you’re planning to mount denser or heavier equipment, you can end up with saggy vibes and an overall “fine, but don’t push it” feeling over time. Also, for electronics-heavy builds, make sure you’ve thought about airflow and cable management before committing—vented enclosures help, but wall mounting doesn’t magically solve poor cooling. If your use case is a modest 19" kit, short cable runs, and controlled heat, it’s good value; if you’re building something substantial, you’ll likely be happier spending more on a proper enclosure/rack that’s designed for that load and serviceability.
