Hubbell WBB68 Wall Mount Bracket Bottom Hinged 6 Rack Unit 8in. in. Deep

Overview

The Hubbell WBB68 is a bottom-hinged wall mount bracket designed to provide 6 rack units (6U) of vertical space and 8 inches of depth for mounting network switches, patch panels, or other rack-mountable equipment directly to a wall. This configuration is ideal for smaller network closets, telecommunication rooms, or distributed IT infrastructure where a full-size rack is not feasible or necessary. The bottom-hinged design allows for easier access to equipment for maintenance or configuration without requiring complete removal of the bracket from the wall.

Compatibility

This bracket is designed to accommodate standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment. While specific model compatibility is not detailed, it is engineered to support a wide range of network switches, patch panels, and other IT hardware that adheres to standard EIA-310 rack mounting specifications. Its 8-inch depth is suitable for shallower network devices, ensuring a secure fit without excessive protrusion.

Installation Notes

The WBB68 requires secure mounting to a structurally sound wall surface capable of supporting the weight of the bracket and its loaded equipment. Mounting hardware (screws, anchors) is not included and must be selected based on the wall type (e.g., drywall, concrete, wood studs). The bottom-hinged design facilitates installation by allowing the bracket to be secured to the wall in an open position, simplifying the connection of equipment and cabling.
