Vertiv ADX 4K 1U - ADX-RMK-106

Vertiv ADX-RMK-106 1U Rack Mount Tray for Avocent 4K IPUHD

Overview

The Vertiv ADX-RMK-106 is a 1U rack mount tray engineered specifically for the Vertiv Avocent 4K IPUHD KVM extender. If you are deploying IPUHD units in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, this tray is the purpose-built path to a clean, supported installation — no improvised shelf solutions, no guesswork on fit. The ADX-RMK-106 converts a free-standing or desktop IPUHD unit into a proper rack-resident appliance, keeping cable management organized and the unit secured at the correct elevation in a 1U slot.

For data centers, broadcast control rooms, command centers, and any rack-dense environment where the IPUHD is a permanent fixture rather than a temporary deployment, the ADX-RMK-106 is the correct accessory to specify at the time of purchase. Ordering it alongside the IPUHD avoids the friction of sourcing hardware after the rack is already populated.

Key Features

• 1U Rack Form Factor: Occupies a single rack unit — the smallest standard increment in a 19-inch rack. That matters when rack space is at a premium; you are not surrendering 2U to house a single extender unit.
• Purpose-Built Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Avocent 4K IPUHD. A generic shelf or universal tray introduces fit uncertainty; the ADX-RMK-106 eliminates it. The IPUHD seats correctly without shimming or modification.
• 483mm Width (Standard 19-Inch): At 483mm, the tray spans a standard EIA 19-inch rack opening — compatible with virtually every rack enclosure in a commercial data center or AV control room. No adapter plates, no side-rail modifications.
• 750mm Depth: At 750mm depth, the tray accommodates the IPUHD's chassis depth with room to manage rear cabling without crowding. Most mid-depth and full-depth rack enclosures (600mm–1000mm) will accommodate this without interference on the rear door.
• Grey Finish: Matches standard rack hardware aesthetics — relevant in environments where mixed-vendor equipment is visible to clients or auditors and visual consistency is a baseline expectation.
• Paired Sibling SKU (ADX-RMK-107): If rack space is truly exhausted or your deployment uses a zero-U vertical mounting strip, the ADX-RMK-107 is the zero-U variant for the same IPUHD. Knowing both SKUs before finalizing a rack layout prevents a second purchase order later.

Integration and Compatibility

The ADX-RMK-106 (often searched as ADX RMK 106) is compatible with the Vertiv Avocent 4K IPUHD KVM extender. It is not a universal tray — do not specify it for other Avocent or Vertiv appliances without confirming compatibility with Vertiv directly. The 1U height and 483mm width align with EIA/IEC standard 19-inch rack rails. Verify your rack's usable depth against the 750mm tray depth before ordering; shallow-depth wall-mount enclosures (under 600mm) may not accommodate the full tray.

For integrators building out a full KVM-over-IP infrastructure with IPUHD extenders, rack-mounting the local and remote units via ADX-RMK-106 trays keeps the installation clean and serviceable. Pair with appropriate cable management panels in adjacent rack units to maintain the cable discipline that a 4K KVM deployment demands — DisplayPort and USB runs at 4K resolutions are unforgiving of sharp bends or stressed connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What device is the ADX-RMK-106 designed to mount?

A: The ADX-RMK-106 is a rack mount tray designed specifically for the Vertiv Avocent 4K IPUHD KVM extender. It is not a universal tray for other Vertiv or Avocent products.

Q: How much rack space does the ADX-RMK-106 require?

A: It requires 1U (one rack unit) of space in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

Q: What is the difference between the ADX-RMK-106 and the ADX-RMK-107?

A: The ADX-RMK-106 is a 1U rack mount tray that installs horizontally in a standard rack slot. The ADX-RMK-107 is a zero-U variant designed for zero-U mounting (typically on vertical rack rail space), suited for deployments where horizontal rack units are fully committed.

Q: Will the ADX-RMK-106 fit my existing rack enclosure?

A: The tray is 483mm wide (standard 19-inch) and 750mm deep. It will fit any standard EIA/IEC 19-inch rack. Verify your rack's interior depth is at least 750mm before ordering — shallow wall-mount or compact enclosures may not accommodate the full tray depth.

Q: Is the ADX-RMK-106 sold with the IPUHD, or must it be ordered separately?

A: The ADX-RMK-106 is a separately ordered accessory. It is not bundled with the IPUHD unit. Specify it at the time of your IPUHD order to avoid a second purchase order once the rack is already populated.
