What is the purpose of 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 known as 2-Post Racks or Open Bay Racks. The vertical holes spacing on Relay Racks are standardized for mounting Telco, or computer / network equipment. Relay Racks can also mount cantilever shelving for other non-rack mountable equipment. The Open Bay rack design also provides maximum air flow for the entire rack due to the open frame construction. Rail Comparison: Universal Mounting Rails EIA Standard 10/32 Tapped Mounting Rails Rack Mount Rails: We can manufacture server rack enclosures with either Universal Mounting Rails (square holes fitted with cage nuts) or with EIA Standard rails (10/32 tapped holes). All our cabinet rails are high quality gauge steel (1/8″ thick or more) and have an electroplate finish to maximize protection. Universal Mounting Rails: Universal rails will support 19″ EIA width rack mount and networking
