Server Rack Wall Mount Network Enclosure - Locking 22U

In this review the 22U Server Rack Wall Mount Network Enclosure is evaluated for small offices, home labs, and AV installs where security and neat cable management matter. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of solid locking doors and included accessories that turn a steel cabinet into a working rack out of the box. The reviewer found the cabinet stylish yet functional, with practical extras such as a rack mount power distribution unit and shelves that save time during initial setup.

Key Features

• Locking Door: Provides physical security for servers and AV gear, keeping equipment protected in shared spaces.
• Included Powerbar: The 8-outlet rack mount power distribution unit with surge protection offers immediate power management without extra purchases.
• Cooling Support: Built-in cooling fan and dust tight cable entries help maintain airflow and reduce dust ingress for longer equipment life.
• Sturdy Construction: Rolled steel profile frame and U-mark rails provide a stable mounting platform for 19 in rack equipment.
• Accessories Pack: Cage nuts, screws, two shelves and levelers or casters (depending on size) reduce the need for additional shopping and speed installation.

Who It's For

The cabinet suits small IT projects, home server racks, AV installations, and edge network closets that need a lockable 19 in enclosure with accessories included. It is practical for users who want a ready-to-use cabinet with power distribution and mounting shelves supplied.

Those who need extremely heavy-duty enterprise racks, nonstandard depths, or a fully welded welded server room row cabinet should consider alternative datacenter-grade options. Also, if you require extensive factory documentation or highly detailed instructions, be aware some users find the assembly instructions less clear.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good build quality and finish that presents well in an office or living space.
• Comes with a PDU, shelves, cage nuts and fan so the initial kit delivers excellent value.
• Easy to assemble due to welded frame design and included hardware, with video and PDF guidance available.

Cons

• Instruction quality gets mixed feedback, so allow extra time if you prefer very detailed step-by-step directions.
