StarTech.com 1U Rackmount Brackets for KVM Switch (SV431 Series)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re mounting a StarTech SV431-series KVM switch in a standard 1U rack, these brackets are a pretty sensible, low-drama buy at £23.86 ex-VAT. They solve the annoying “it fits on the shelf but not properly in the rack” problem, and for the sort of small ancillary parts that keep data rooms tidy, they’re good value. In practice, you just want something that aligns cleanly with the chassis and doesn’t turn the install into a day-long bodge—StarTech generally nails that consistency.

That said, I wouldn’t buy these unless you specifically have the SV431-series (or you’ve confirmed compatibility). If your KVM model differs, you’ll likely end up returning them or, worse, forcing an awkward fit. Also, if you’re only doing a temporary bench setup, it’s wasted spend—rack hardware starts making sense when you’re actually committing to a tidy, serviceable installation.
