Ok, so this was more of a "want" vs a "need" but the price was low enough, it was worth it for me. I have a 6-bay NAS home media server and a security camera NVR that were sitting on a table in my basement with a tangle of wires and ethernet cables, and I decided to splurge a bit and make things a little more organized. I picked up a rack mount PoE switch (for the cameras) - which actually cost more than this rack - and now everything is much tidier, and looks really cool lol. The rack is very sturdy and was easy to put together. I don't know if it would hold up to heavy use with a lot of switching out components, but it definitely works great for what I use it for. Everything fits into the rack nicely and like I said, it's much more organized. It hold my NAS, NVR, switch and a couple other smaller components and there's still a little more room to expand if I think of something else to add later on. If you're considering setting up a home network, you really can't go wrong with this network rack. It's inexpensive, but it's not "cheap" in quality.

The TECMOJO 12U Open Frame Rack is a great entry point for anyone starting their homelab or network setup. While it's advertised as 12U, you effectively get 10U of usable space because the top and bottom slots are taken by support brackets. Still, what you get for the price — shelves, screws, cable management, and mounting feet — makes it a solid value. The rack is about 20 inches deep, which is enough to house a mix of networking and server gear. I’ve got a Unifi UDM, a Unifi HD Pro 24 PoE switch, a CyberPower UPS, and a Node 804 sitting on top — all mounted securely. It’s rated to handle around 130lbs, so if you’re wall-mounting it, make sure to reinforce accordingly. I used my own lag bolts (not the included ones) into 3/4” plywood with 2x6 backing between 24” studs — it’s rock solid. A few quirks: I wish the rack supported cage nuts on both sides. Having to screw and unscrew components directly into the frame is a bit tedious. But once everything is in place, it's not a dealbreaker. What I liked: Great value with shelves and accessories included Sturdy enough to support a heavy homelab stack Deep enough for most gear Top shelf and wire grommets are a nice touch What I didn’t like: Only partially cage nut compatible Usable space is 10U, not the full 12U Final Thoughts: If you’re just getting into rack mounting your gear, this is a solid pick. Just plan your mounting setup carefully and maybe go a size up if you’re expanding later.

Well designed, strong and complete rack for AV and network equipment. Everything is included for the build. Shelves, rack screws and even equipment standoffs and mounting template. The only thing that would have been nice in my case is if I could mount the equipment on the side as my network cables where to short. Unfortunately the distance between the cage nuts is less then equipment size. Not much but barely maybe a point for the designers. This would have saved me from extending a bunch of network cables.

The Good: The rack was perfect for my use case. It's heavy duty and everything was very intuitive. I like the solid top and the front upper and lower plates which can be removed for extra mounting space. Overall, the design was everything that wanted in a rack and more. The Ambiguous: There were plastic mounting clips which I never figured out their purpose or how they fit together. I'm unsure what they were for but honestly I'm fine with the current setup. I guess they were "Rack Shelf Back Support" but I just screwed the back brackets into the rack itself. The Mounting: The mounting hole drilling template is high quality and appreciated. I didn't end up using it but I've installed a lot of these and having that drilling template is fantastic. Overall, this rack offers a lot of flexibility in how you want it setup while not being flimsy nor poorly painted. I trust it with a lot of weight and I'm perfectly confident in it holding up for the long haul.

So I bought these for my EG4 server rack batteries. The batteries are very heavy but the rack supports both batteries no problem. I did put a brace under the first battery to put less wait on the rack brackets. These are not made for these batteries but it is an option
