NavePoint 10-inch 9U: three more U, still not 19-inch

SKU 00406852 is the taller sibling of the 11.8-inch 6U. Same 10-inch-wide rails. Same 7 in max mount. Maker store $203.99 this pass. Newegg 2BA-001H-00231 printed $203.99. Three extra U does not make a 19-inch switch hang. If the wall takes 19-inch, the buy is the StarTech 12U, not a taller 10-inch box.

Outside: 12.3 × 19 × 11.8 in. Perforated door, lock, two shelves (44 lb each), one 1U blank, 110.23 lb class, pre-assembled. Hardware: 12× M6 screws, washers, cage nuts, two keys. The 9U is three rack units taller than the start and about $42 more than the $161.99 6U this pass. The rails are still 254 mm.

NavePoint also lists 00406836, a 9U 11.8-inch perforated cabinet without the two-shelf kit, maker $187.99 this pass. Same trap: more height, same width. Gray 00406844 / Amazon B0BL5F4V8P was $195.99 on that card. Do not use gray as a reason to stay on 10-inch.

Skip

Skip 9U because the 6U photo looks full. Skip any 19-inch 9U wall box sold next to this one. Skip the 15.75-inch-deep 9U unless you measured a 10-inch-wide switch that needs more than 7 in of rail — that is the same depth trap as the 6U 15.75. If the wall takes 19-inch, stop shopping 10-inch cabinets. We have not sat with 00406852.
