Ortronics MM2073142DAB12-B 4-post Rack 7ft 31-42U

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MM2073142DAB12-B is a 4-post open frame rack designed to house and organize network, data center, and telecommunications equipment in structured cabling environments. Standing 7 feet tall with a depth adjustment range of 31 to 42 inches, this rack accommodates equipment of varying depths without requiring a fixed-depth enclosure. It is sold as a single unit and is typically specified by network infrastructure technicians, data center installers, and low-voltage cabling contractors during structured cabling or IT equipment deployment projects.

This rack is suited for server rooms, telecommunications closets, and data center floor installations where open frame access is preferred for cable management and airflow. The adjustable depth range of 31 to 42 inches makes it compatible with a wide variety of rackmount equipment including patch panels, switches, servers, and power distribution units. It is appropriate for both new installations and retrofits in commercial and enterprise environments where rack density and equipment accessibility are priorities.
