D-Link Rack Mount Kit for 11-inch and 19-inch Managed Switches

D-Link Rack Mounting Hardware

The D-Link Rack Mount Kit provides a standardized installation solution for integrating desktop-sized networking hardware into professional 19-inch server cabinets. This hardware set enables network engineers to secure 11-inch managed or unmanaged switches within a standard EIA-310 compliant rack environment. Consequently, IT professionals can maintain organized cable runs and improve airflow dynamics within the data center. The kit utilizes heavy-duty cold-rolled steel to ensure structural integrity under the weight of fully populated switch ports. Additionally, the bracket geometry accounts for side-ventilation requirements in high-density deployments.

Key Features

• Universal Bracket Alignment
  The precision-engineered mounting holes align with multiple D-Link DGS and DES series switch chassis designs.

• Industrial Grade Construction

  • High-gauge steel prevents bracket flex during heavy cable loading.
  • Zinc-plated finish resists oxidation in climate-controlled server rooms.

• Thermal Management Clearance
  The bracket design maintains a specific offset to allow unobstructed lateral airflow for passive cooling systems.

• Standardized Rack Compatibility
  These components support standard 1U height requirements in all 2-post and 4-post open frames.

Why Choose D-Link Mounting Hardware

• Standardizing your hardware mounting reduces physical strain on network ports by providing a stable base. Furthermore, it prevents accidental displacement of desktop switches in high-traffic server environments.
• The kit ensures that your 11-inch switches meet the same architectural standards as your 19-inch enterprise gear. Therefore, procurement managers can consolidate equipment without sacrificing rack organization.
• Specifically engineered tolerances eliminate the gaps often found with generic third-party brackets. This precision prevents vibration-induced noise within the cabinet. Consequently, the hardware remains secure throughout the lifecycle of the switch.
