Panduit R4P2396 4-post Open Frame Rack 23 in Deep

Product Description

The PANDUIT R4P2396 is a 4-post open frame rack designed for structured cabling, network equipment mounting, and data infrastructure installations. Standing 8 feet tall with a 23-inch depth, this rack provides substantial vertical space for patch panels, switches, cable managers, and other rack-mount hardware. The 4-post design allows front and rear equipment mounting, supporting proper cable management and airflow planning in server rooms, telecom closets, and equipment spaces. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians, network installers, or structured cabling contractors.

This rack is suited for commercial and enterprise environments where a free-standing, open-frame mounting solution is required. The 8-foot height accommodates high-density equipment installations, and the 23-inch depth supports standard 1U through 4U rack-mount devices. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for new installations or equipment room buildouts requiring flexible, open-access rack infrastructure.
