Lowell NR2P-4518 2-post Networking Rack 45U 18 in

Product Description

The LOWELL NR2P-4518 is a 2-post open-frame networking rack designed for structured cabling, patch panel management, and network equipment installation in telecommunications rooms, server closets, and data distribution points. Built to a 45U height and 18 inches in depth, this rack provides substantial vertical capacity for dense cable and equipment runs. Installed by low-voltage technicians, network engineers, and electrical contractors, the NR2P-4518 suits both new construction and retrofit applications where a full 4-post enclosure is unnecessary or impractical.

This rack is suited for residential and light commercial network infrastructure installations. It accommodates standard 19-inch rackmount equipment including patch panels, switches, routers, and cable management accessories. The 2-post open-frame design allows unrestricted rear access to cabling and equipment, making it a practical choice for environments where airflow and cable dressing are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified electrical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and TIA-942 data center infrastructure standards. Secure the rack to a solid floor or wall surface before loading equipment to prevent tipping. Verify that the combined weight of all mounted equipment does not exceed the rack load rating before installation. Power down all active network equipment before performing any cabling or hardware work within the rack.
