Chatsworth 11792-E12 Standard Swing Gate Wall Rack

Overview

The Chatsworth 11792-E12 is a 19-inch wide standard swing gate wall rack designed for secure and organized mounting of network, AV, and other IT equipment in environments where space is limited. Its swing-gate design allows for easy access to equipment for maintenance or configuration without requiring full rack removal, making it ideal for wall-mounted installations in closets, offices, or retail backrooms. This rack supports standard 19-inch rack-mountable devices, ensuring broad compatibility with common IT infrastructure components.

Compatibility

This rack is designed to accommodate standard 19-inch wide rack-mountable equipment. It is suitable for mounting devices such as network switches, patch panels, routers, small servers, and AV distribution units that adhere to the 19-inch EIA-310 rack standard. The swing-gate functionality is particularly beneficial for installations where access to the rear of the equipment is frequently needed, such as in telecommunications rooms or network distribution points.

Installation Notes

Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the rack and its fully loaded equipment. Wall mounting hardware (lag bolts, anchors) is not included and must be selected based on the specific wall construction (e.g., wood studs, concrete, drywall with bracing). Proper torque must be applied to mounting hardware to ensure stability and safety. The swing gate mechanism requires adequate clearance for opening and closing.
