StarTech.com 2U 19in Steel Vertical Wall Mount Equipment Rack Bracket

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £40-odd ex-VAT, this is a sensible “nothing fancy” wall bracket if you already have the rack/cabinet plan sorted and just need a sturdy way to get equipment off the floor. The StarTech name is reassuring in the sense that you tend to get sensible materials and decent fitment, and the vertical, steel build is exactly what you want for the boring stuff: servers, small network gear, patch panels—anything that benefits from stability and predictable mounting.

That said, don’t expect this to be the answer to every racking problem. If you’re trying to build a proper 2U rack setup in a cabinet environment, you may find it’s more “mounting support” than a complete system, so you’ll need to think about rear support, cable clearance, and whether your wall/structure is actually suitable for the load. If you’re mounting to plasterboard or a weak partition, this can become a waste of money (and a safety risk). Overall: worth it for clean, utilitarian deployments where the bracket is exactly what you need. If you’re building something complex or you don’t control the mounting surface, I’d look at a more complete solution instead.
