Tripp Lite SRW18USG 18U Wall Mount Rack Enclosure

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE SRW18USG is an 18U wall mount rack enclosure designed to house and secure network, AV, and low-voltage equipment in space-constrained environments. With a vertical 18U capacity, it mounts directly to a wall surface, keeping equipment off the floor and within accessible reach. This type of enclosure is typically installed by network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and electricians in commercial, light industrial, and residential structured wiring applications. The enclosed cabinet format provides physical security and cable management for patch panels, switches, routers, and similar rack-mount gear.

Wall mount rack enclosures like the SRW18USG are commonly deployed in telecommunications closets, server rooms, retail back-of-house spaces, and medium-density office environments where a full-size floor-standing rack is not practical. The 18U depth accommodates a standard mix of 1U and 2U rack-mount equipment. This unit is sold individually and is suited for new installations as well as equipment upgrades in existing structured cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• 18U rack space for mounting standard EIA-compliant rack equipment

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage contractor or licensed electrician following local building codes and the manufacturer mounting instructions. Locate and secure to wall studs or use appropriate toggle anchors rated for the combined weight of the enclosure and all installed equipment before mounting. Ensure all equipment is powered down before installing or removing rack-mount devices inside the enclosure. Follow NEC guidelines for any powered equipment housed within the cabinet.
