Chatsworth 48353-520 Universal Rack

Overview

The Chatsworth 48353-520 is a compact, 4-inch high universal rack designed for mounting standard 19-inch wide networking and security equipment in environments where space is constrained. Its 3-inch depth is suitable for shallow-depth devices or where rear cable management is less critical. This rack provides a stable platform for small switches, patch panels, or other edge devices that require rack-mount form factor but do not fit standard 12U or larger enclosures. The 48353-520 is ideal for wall-mount cabinets or small network closets.

Compatibility

This rack is designed to accommodate standard 19-inch wide rack-mountable equipment. It is compatible with most network switches, patch panels, and other IT or security devices that adhere to the 19-inch EIA-310 rack-mount standard. Its shallow 4-inch height and 3-inch depth limit its use to specific, smaller form-factor devices; verify device dimensions before deployment.

Installation Notes

Requires standard rack-mounting hardware (e.g., cage nuts and screws, sold separately) for securing equipment. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the rack and its loaded equipment. For wall-mount applications, use appropriate fasteners for the wall type.
