3U Server Cabinet Case 19 Inch Rack Mount Lockable Drawer - Compact

Our review of the 3U Server Cabinet Case 19 Inch Rack Mount Lockable Drawer judges it as a practical, budget-friendly storage solution for small server rooms and AV racks. It is best suited to users who need a secure, shallow drawer that fits standard 19 in racks and provides tidy cable routing. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a lockable drawer and metal construction in a compact 12.6 in depth, which makes it useful where depth is limited without sacrificing basic durability.

Key Features

• Standard 19 in fit: Designed to occupy 3U of rack space and mount securely in any 19 in cabinet or enclosure for consistent compatibility.
• Compact depth: The 12.69 in exterior depth and 12.52 in internal depth let this drawer fit shallow cabinets and tight rack locations.
• Lockable security: The built-in lock and included key provide simple physical protection for tools or small equipment stored inside.
• Steel construction: Cold rolled steel with powder coating and extra welding improves rigidity and resists scuffs in normal server-room use.
• Cable management: Three rear cable holes with rubber grommets organize and protect cables routed into or out of the drawer.
• Easy install: The drawer ships mostly assembled and includes holding sides, screws, M6 screws and cage nuts for straightforward mounting.

Who It's For

The drawer suits IT technicians, AV installers and small office managers who need a secure place for tools, cables, and accessories inside a 19 in server rack with limited depth. It is especially useful in shallow network cabinets, equipment closets, or mobile DJ racks where depth under 13 in is required.

Those who need heavy-duty storage for very heavy equipment or full-depth server components should look elsewhere, since the unit is rated for moderate loads and was designed for accessories rather than heavy hardware.
