Description

StarTech RDA2U Rack Depth Adapter

Overview

The StarTech RDA2U is a rack depth adapter designed to extend the mounting depth of standard 19-inch server racks by 4 inches. This is critical when installing deeper network switches, servers, UPS units, or other rackmount equipment that would otherwise overhang the front of the rack or not fit at all. It provides the necessary clearance for cabling and proper airflow behind these devices, ensuring a clean and functional installation. The RDA2U is a straightforward solution for addressing depth limitations in existing rack infrastructure.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed for use with standard 19-inch wide server racks and cabinets. It is compatible with any rackmount equipment that requires up to 4 inches of additional depth for installation, including many network switches, servers, AV equipment, and power distribution units. Its universal design makes it suitable for a wide range of rackmount applications where depth is a constraint.

Installation Notes

Installation involves attaching the RDA2U to the front or rear rack rails of your 19-inch rack using standard rack mounting hardware (typically M6 or 10-32 screws and cage nuts, not included). Once secured, the adapter provides extended mounting points for your equipment. Ensure your rack's structural integrity can support the added depth and weight of the equipment being mounted.
