Chatsworth 11349-123 Equipment Tie-down Bracket

Overview

The Chatsworth 11349-123 is a 23-inch wide tie-down bracket designed for securing equipment within standard server or network racks. This bracket provides a stable mounting point, preventing seismic or vibration-induced movement of sensitive electronics, essential in environments prone to physical disturbances or requiring robust cable management. Its gray finish offers a neutral aesthetic suitable for most data center or IT closet deployments. The 11349-123 model is engineered for straightforward integration into existing rack infrastructure.

Compatibility

This tie-down bracket is designed to fit standard 19-inch wide racks, offering 23 inches of width for accommodating various equipment sizes. It is compatible with most server racks and network enclosures that adhere to standard EIA-310 mounting dimensions. While not specific to a particular brand of rack, its utility is maximized with equipment that requires secure anchoring, such as network switches, patch panels, or server components that may not have dedicated rack ears or require additional stability.

Installation Notes

Installation requires standard rack mounting hardware (typically cage nuts and screws, sold separately) to attach the bracket to the vertical rack rails. Ensure the rack rails are capable of supporting the weight of the equipment being secured. The bracket's design allows for flexible placement along the rack's vertical supports to best suit the equipment's dimensions and weight distribution. Torque specifications for mounting screws should follow standard EIA guidelines for rack accessories.
