Panduit R4P23CN96 4-post Open Frame Rack 23 Inch

Product Description

The PANDUIT R4P23CN96 is a 4-post open frame rack with cage nut hardware, designed for mounting network, data, and communications equipment in structured cabling and IT infrastructure applications. At 23 inches deep, the rack provides the clearance needed for standard 1U through 4U equipment. The open frame design allows unrestricted airflow around installed equipment and simplifies front and rear access for technicians performing installation, patching, or service. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage contractors, network engineers, or experienced IT facilities staff.

The R4P23CN96 is suited for server rooms, telecom closets, and equipment rooms in both commercial and light industrial environments. The 4-post mounting rail configuration supports front and rear equipment attachment, which is required for heavier chassis such as patch panels, switches, and 1U servers. The included cage nut hardware allows standard EIA-310 rack equipment to be mounted without additional fastener kits.

Ensure all power to rack-mounted equipment is disconnected before adding or removing components. Follow manufacturer torque guidance for cage nut and rail fastener installation to avoid thread damage.
