Chatsworth 50110-508 Expandarack for Standard Rack

Overview

The Chatsworth 50110-508 Expandarack is a 19-inch wide rack extension designed to provide additional depth for standard 19-inch equipment racks. This unit is critical for installations where existing rack depth is insufficient to accommodate deeper network switches, servers, or other rack-mount IT and security equipment, particularly when managing complex cable runs or specialized components. It effectively increases the usable space within a standard rack footprint without requiring a larger cabinet.

Compatibility

This Expandarack is engineered to integrate with standard 19-inch wide equipment racks. It is designed to mount onto the front or rear of existing rack rails, providing an extended mounting surface. Its universal design ensures compatibility with most 19-inch rack systems, including those from major manufacturers used in data centers, network closets, and security control rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation involves attaching the Expandarack to the existing vertical rack rails using standard rack mounting hardware (typically 10-32 or 12-24 screws, not included). Ensure the rack is stable and capable of supporting the additional weight and leverage introduced by the extended equipment. Proper torque should be applied to mounting hardware to prevent movement.
