Strong SR-CS-RACK-12U Contractor Rack 12U 18 Inch

Product Description

The STRONG SR-CS-RACK-12U is a 12U contractor-grade equipment rack designed for structured wiring, AV distribution, and low-voltage system installations. Built with an 18-inch depth profile, it accommodates standard rack-mount gear in applications where space is limited or a full-depth rack is not practical. Licensed low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and structured cabling contractors typically install this unit during rough-in or finish phases of residential and light commercial projects. The compact form factor suits wall-mount or floor-mount deployments depending on the installation environment.

The SR-CS-RACK-12U is suited for residential and light commercial low-voltage installations including home theater equipment, network switches, patch panels, amplifiers, and AV distribution hardware. Its 12U capacity provides enough rack space for moderately complex system builds without requiring a full-size rack enclosure. The 18-inch depth keeps the footprint manageable in utility closets, structured wiring enclosure areas, and dedicated equipment rooms.

Key Features

• 12U rack capacity for mounting standard EIA-compliant rack equipment
• 18-inch depth suits compact closet and utility room installations
• Contractor-grade construction for professional low-voltage system integrators
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for straightforward procurement and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style contractor rack for standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment following EIA-310 mounting specifications, suitable for low-voltage AV and network hardware installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV integration contractor in accordance with local building codes and NEC Article 800 requirements for low-voltage wiring. Secure the rack to structural framing or a solid backing surface rated for the total loaded weight before mounting equipment. Power down all connected devices before adding or removing rack-mounted hardware. Verify adequate ventilation clearance around the rack to prevent heat buildup from installed equipment.
