StarTech RK619WALL 6U Enclosed Wall-Mount 2-Post Rack Cabinet

Overview

The StarTech RK619WALL is a 6U enclosed wall-mount rack cabinet built for edge equipment rooms, wiring closets, and distributed IT infrastructure where floor space is at a premium. At 22.0 in wide, 13.0 in tall, and 15.7 in deep, it occupies minimal wall real estate while delivering a 110.2 lb (50 kg) load capacity — enough headroom for a small NVR, PoE switch, patch panel, and supporting hardware in a single compact enclosure. If you're deploying StarTech rackmount solutions across multiple branch locations or remote equipment closets, the RK619WALL gives you a standardized, lockable home for edge gear without committing to a full floor-standing cabinet.

The enclosed steel frame with a windowed front door keeps equipment accessible for quick visual status checks while protecting against accidental contact and light physical tampering. This is the correct enclosure for environments where a proper server room doesn't exist — think back-office IT closets, school hallways, retail back rooms, or industrial control areas where your PoE network switches and recording hardware need a fixed, secure mounting point.

Key Features

• 6U Capacity in a Compact Footprint: Six rack units of usable space in a cabinet measuring 22.0 x 15.7 x 13.0 in — enough for a 1U NVR, 1U switch, 1U patch panel, and three additional units of gear. When you're constrained to a single wall section, every unit counts.
• 110.2 lb (50 kg) Load Rating: Handles a fully populated 6U build including dense PoE switches and recording appliances without flex or sag. Don't let the wall-mount form factor mislead you — this is a commercial-grade rated capacity, not a consumer shelf.
• 11.8 in (30 cm) Maximum Mounting Depth: Sized for shallow-depth gear: 1U switches, patch panels, small NVRs, and similar rackmount appliances. Verify your deepest device's rack depth before ordering — anything over 11 in may require a different enclosure.
• Steel Enclosed Frame with Windowed Front Door: The steel body limits incidental contact with live equipment while the window lets you read LED status indicators, power lights, and drive activity without opening the door. Side panels are steel throughout — no plastic corners or composite fillers.
• Active Cooling — 120mm Fan Included, Second Fan Optional: The included 120mm fan delivers 82 CFM of airflow through the cabinet, keeping heat-generating equipment within safe operating temperatures. A second optional 120mm fan position is available if you populate all 6U with active hardware. At 45 dBA at 1 meter, noise is noticeable in quiet environments — factor this in for open-office deployments.
• Square Hole Mounting with Cage Nut Compatibility: EIA/ECA-310-E compliant square-hole rails accept standard cage nuts, making it compatible with virtually every rackmount product on the market. No proprietary rail format, no adapter kits needed for standard 1U or 2U equipment.
• Lifetime Hardware Warranty: StarTech backs the RK619WALL with a lifetime hardware warranty — an important factor for infrastructure that gets installed and stays in place for years. Enclosures rarely fail, but the warranty removes any remaining risk calculation from the purchase decision.
• 2-Post Rack Architecture: The 2-post frame keeps internal depth accessible and simplifies cable routing compared to 4-post designs. For lightweight rackmount hardware (switches, patch panels, NVRs), 2-post is the practical choice in a shallow-depth wall cabinet.

Integration and Compatibility

The RK619WALL is EIA/ECA-310-E compliant, the baseline standard for rackmount equipment sizing. Any vendor's 1U or 2U gear using standard 19-inch rack dimensions will mount correctly using cage nuts in the square-hole rails. This covers network video recorders, managed PoE switches, UPS units (shallow-depth models), patch panels, KVM switches, and fiber enclosures — the typical population of a distributed edge equipment closet.

When planning your installation, confirm wall stud spacing and load-bearing capacity before mounting. At 27.7 lb (12.6 kg) unloaded and up to 110.2 lb fully loaded, the combined wall load can exceed 130 lb — standard drywall anchors are insufficient. Lag into structural studs or use a backing board. A rack mounting and installation guide is a useful reference before you commit to a wall location.

The active fan system pulls air through the cabinet. Leave adequate clearance above and below the enclosure for intake and exhaust — StarTech's 82 CFM rating assumes unobstructed airflow paths. Stacking storage or cabling directly against the cabinet vents will reduce effective cooling capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum equipment depth the RK619WALL supports?

A: The RK619WALL has a maximum mounting depth of 11.8 inches (30 cm). Verify your deepest rackmount device's usable depth — devices over 11 inches will not fit without the door open or partially removed.

Q: What is the weight capacity of the RK619WALL?

A: The rated load capacity is 110.2 lb (50 kg). The cabinet itself weighs 27.7 lb (12.6 kg) unloaded, so plan your wall mounting for a potential combined wall load exceeding 130 lb when fully populated.

Q: Does the RK619WALL include a cooling fan?

A: Yes. One 120mm fan is included, delivering 82 CFM of airflow. A second 120mm fan position is available as an optional add-on if your equipment load generates additional heat.

Q: What type of mounting holes does the RK619WALL use?

A: Square holes compatible with standard cage nuts, built to EIA/ECA-310-E specification. This is the industry-standard format — compatible with virtually all 19-inch rackmount equipment from any manufacturer.

Q: What is the warranty on the RK619WALL?

A: StarTech provides a lifetime hardware warranty on the RK619WALL.

Q: How loud is the RK619WALL fan?

A: The included 120mm fan produces 45 dBA measured at 1 meter. This is audible in quiet environments such as open offices or small conference rooms. In a dedicated wiring closet or back room, it is unlikely to be a concern.

The spec that drives most purchasing decisions on the RK619WALL is the 11.8-inch maximum mounting depth — and it's the one integrators most frequently overlook until they're standing in front of the wall with a 14-inch-deep switch in hand. Before you commit to this cabinet, pull the rack-mount depth spec on every device going into it. The 110.2 lb load rating gives you plenty of headroom for a fully populated 6U build, but depth is the hard constraint you cannot work around once the cabinet is on the wall.

Technical Highlights:

• 82 CFM Active Airflow: The included 120mm fan moves enough air to keep a populated 6U build within safe thermal limits under typical edge-site loads. The optional second fan slot is worth planning for if you're running a PoE switch and NVR simultaneously — both generate sustained heat.
• 110.2 lb Load Capacity: At 50 kg rated, this cabinet handles real commercial-grade hardware, not just patch panels and cable managers. A 1U NVR plus a 1U managed switch plus a 1U UPS will typically land well under that ceiling.
• Lifetime Hardware Warranty: Infrastructure enclosures get installed and forgotten for a decade. The lifetime warranty means you're not carrying a replacement budget line for the cabinet itself — one less variable in a long-cycle asset.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 27.7 lb unloaded and up to 137+ lb fully loaded against the wall, structural mounting is non-negotiable. Lag screws into studs or a plywood backing board — do not use drywall anchors at this weight class.
• The 45 dBA fan noise at 1 meter is a real factor in quiet spaces. If this cabinet is going into a client-facing area or open office, have the noise conversation before installation day.

The RK619WALL is the right call for a distributed retail or school network where you need a locked, ventilated home for a switch and NVR at each site — standardized, wall-mounted, and backed by a lifetime warranty that makes it a fit-and-forget infrastructure component across a multi-site rollout.
