Product Description

The GREAT LAKES 4PHD29 is a heavy-duty 4-post open-frame rack designed for mounting and organizing network, server, AV, and data center equipment. Built to handle the weight and density demands of professional installations, this 42U rack provides full front-and-rear access to mounted equipment.
