10 Inch Network Switch Rack Mount Bracket – Compatible with TP-Link, Black

• CLEAR YOUR SURFACE — Loose network equipment takes up the surface beside your rack; this rack mount bracket moves your network switch into the rack instead, keeping it positioned with the rest of your network setup. Whether you are organizing a home lab or putting your workspace in order, you get a place for your switch without setting it on a separate desk or shelf.
• FIT YOUR RACK — Check that your network rack uses the specified 10-inch mounting size before you organize your equipment around it; this plastic part fits a 10-inch rack and gives your network switch a mounting position inside your home network or small-office setup. You supply the mounting hardware for installation; mounting hardware is not included.
• HOLD YOUR SWITCH FIRMLY — Your network switch belongs in its mounting position, not sitting loose among your network equipment, and the bracket\'s interference fit holds it firmly in place. Once your switch is seated, that close-fitting hold keeps the bracket and switch together as part of your rack layout, so your switch stays mounted while you work through the rest of your equipment arrangement.
• GUIDED PIN ALIGNMENT — Start fitting your network switch by pushing it through the bracket; it sits at an angle at first, giving you the starting position for lining up the two pins with the mounting points on your switch. When both pins line up, your switch pops into place, giving you a clear step to follow as you seat it instead of trying to push it straight through from the start.
• FLUSH FRONT FINISH — Bring the front of your network switch flush with the mount by pushing your switch backward after the pins have lined up and it has popped into place. That last adjustment brings the front into line with the mount instead of leaving it sitting forward, giving your rack a neatly seated switch face when you finish arranging your home lab equipment. WHAT\'S IN THE BOX — Only the item named in the title. No hardware is included (see the description).

Your network switch needs a place in your rack, but it is still sitting on the desk beside it. Keeping a separate surface occupied makes your network setup more spread out than it needs to be.

This rack mount bracket puts your network switch inside your equipment rack, keeping it positioned with the rest of your setup. The plastic part is a mounting adapter for your network switch, with a specified rack mounting size of 10 inches. Check your rack size before you plan the layout: this bracket fits a 10-inch network rack and turns a loose switch into rack-mounted equipment.

The interference fit holds your network switch firmly in the bracket. Rather than simply resting your switch on a surface inside the rack, you seat it in a mount that holds it in place. That gives your switch a clear position in the equipment layout and frees the separate surface it occupied.

Fitting your network switch follows a straightforward sequence. Push it through the bracket, allowing it to sit at an angle at first. Align both pins with the mounting points on your switch; when the pins line up, it pops into place. Then push your switch backward until its front sits flush with the mount. The pin alignment locates your switch, and the final backward push brings its front into its finished position.

For home-lab builders, people organizing a home network, and anyone arranging a small-office rack, this bracket puts the switch where the rest of the network equipment lives. Use it when you are bringing an existing setup into a rack or tidying equipment that has been spread between a rack and a desk.

HARDWARE NOT INCLUDED: Only the item named in the title is in the box. Every setup is different: depending on yours, mounting it or attaching it to an existing part may use hardware you already have, such as the original screws, or you may need to buy your own screws, bolts, tape or adhesive to suit your situation. No hardware of any kind is included with this listing.
