What is a
Relay Rack?
A Relay Rack is a 2-post
aluminum or steel structure
with either EIA standard (round)
mounting holes or universal
(square) mounting holes.
Relay Racks are also called
2-Post Racks or Open Bay Racks.
The vertical holes spacing on
Relay Racks are standardized
for mounting Telco, or computer
/ network equipment. The
height of almost all rack mountable
computer / network equipment
products are built to accommodate
these EIA standard rack units.
Each rack unit is approximately
1.75" in height, and most of
this equipment is built to rack
mount to network enclosures
or 19" Relay Racks (from hole
to hole). Relay Racks
can also mount cantilever shelving
for other non-rack mountable
equipment. 19 Inch Relay Racks
are designed to handle most
rack mount equipment needs.

19" Relay Racks

|
Relay Rack Benefits:
- EIA Standard 19" Rack mounts
most networking equipment
- Easily Installable
- No doors or panels to hinder
air flow
- Compact shipping size
- Requires less real estate
then a 4-Post Rack
- Wide availability of Relay
Rack Accessories - cable management
products, cantilever shelves,
power strips, etc.
When a 4-Post Rack should
be considered over a 2-Post Relay
Rack:
- Security - a locked enclosure
would be required
- Stability - normally a 4-Post
Rack has far more stability
- Because of their weight
or center of gravity, some equipment
can not be safely mounted to
a 2-post rack
- Weight - 4-post racks can
mount far more weight
- Some equipment require front
& rear mounting
- Flooring may not allow bolting
of a Relay Rack base
