Hubbell BREXTB235 Extender Brackets to Modify a 19in. Panel to Mount onto a 23in. Rack

Overview

The Hubbell BREXTB235 extender brackets are designed to adapt standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment for installation into wider 23-inch racks. This is crucial for integrating legacy or specific 19-inch components into modern, larger-width infrastructure without requiring specialized or custom panel fabrication. The BREXTB235 provides a stable, secure mounting solution, ensuring proper alignment and support for devices like network switches, patch panels, or surveillance equipment within a 23-inch footprint.

Compatibility

These brackets are engineered to modify 19-inch standard rack panels. They are compatible with any standard 19-inch wide equipment designed for rack mounting. The primary application is for installation into 23-inch wide rack systems, common in telecommunications and data center environments. They facilitate the use of 19-inch equipment where only 23-inch rack space is available.

Installation Notes

Installation involves attaching the BREXTB235 brackets to the sides of the 19-inch panel. The brackets then mount into the 23-inch rack frame using standard rack mounting hardware (typically cage nuts and screws, not included). Ensure the rack frame has sufficient depth for the 19-inch panel plus the bracket width. Torque specifications should follow standard rack mounting practices to ensure a secure fit without damaging the rack or the equipment.
