Panduit URMKIT2 Rack Mount Rail Kit

The Panduit URMKIT2 delivers a purpose-built 2-post rail mounting solution for 1-20 kVA UPS units in datacenters, server rooms, and telecom closets where floor space is limited and rack-mount density matters. Designed for compatibility across leading UPS platforms, this kit provides secure, code-compliant installation without the guesswork of adapting generic hardware to critical power infrastructure.

Key Features

Supports 1-20 kVA UPS units across multiple manufacturers

3.38" (86 mm) height profile for tight vertical spacing

2-post rack mounting design for standard 19" EIA racks

Compatible with APC 2POSTRMKIT and SRTRK2 rail systems

Single-kit installation with all mounting hardware included

The URMKIT2 addresses the common integrator challenge of mounting mid-range UPS units in 2-post telco racks or open-frame relay racks where wall-mount or tower configurations won't work. The 3.38-inch rail height keeps the footprint minimal while maintaining full load-bearing capacity for units up to 20 kVA. Installers working with mixed-vendor UPS deployments will find the cross-platform compatibility critical — the rail geometry matches APC's 2POSTRMKIT and SRTRK2 patterns, allowing standardized mounting across Panduit, APC, Eaton, and compatible UPS chassis without stocking separate kits per brand.

In enterprise datacenter and colocation environments where rack space costs hundreds per RU per month, the 2-post design frees cabinet depth for servers and switches while keeping battery backup accessible for maintenance. The rail kit works in both square-hole and threaded-hole rack standards, and the included hardware accommodates the hole-pattern variations seen across Chatsworth, Belden, and Schneider racks. For security installers managing IP camera networks with rack-mount PoE switch infrastructure, this kit enables clean UPS integration in IDF closets where power conditioning and battery backup are mandatory but space is at a premium.

Panduit's rail construction meets the mechanical load requirements for seismic Zone 4 installations when properly anchored, a differentiator in California, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska projects where code enforcement flags generic mounting hardware. The kit ships complete with rails, mounting brackets, and fastener packs, eliminating mid-install parts runs and ensuring first-time-right installations for contractors billing T&M.
