Labthrift Labthrift What to buy. What to skip. Why.

Written 23 Aug 2026. Specs from the NavePoint 9U 15.75-inch kit card. Street from named snaps. I haven't hung this cabinet.

Taller and deeper, still not 19-inch: NavePoint 9U 15.75

Taller and deeper, still not 19-inch. Extra U plus extra depth does not hang a 19-inch switch. 10-inch is a skinny wall cabinet. 19-inch is the normal rack width. If the wall takes 19-inch, buy the StarTech 12U.

SKU 00406854 is still 254 mm rails. Max mount is 10.62 in, not 15.75. Maker store $223.99 this pass. Newegg 2BA-001H-00235 printed $223.99. U is a rack height unit.

Outside: 12.3 × 19 × 15.8 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. About $62 more than the $161.99 11.8-inch 6U start this pass, and about $20 more than the 11.8-inch 9U. The extra money buys height plus four inches of box. It does not buy 19-inch rails.

NavePoint also lists 00406853, the same 9U 15.75-inch kit with a glass door. That is the show-window version of this trap. Print the live tag. Don't use glass or extra depth as a reason to stay on 10-inch.

Skip

Skip 9U 15.75 because the 6U photo looks tight. Skip stacking this on top of the 6U 15.75 and the 11.8-inch 9U. One cabinet, one trap family. Skip the glass 00406853 unless you want a window on the same 254 mm rails. If the wall takes 19-inch, stop shopping 10-inch cabinets.
