Sysracks 22U 39in Depth Server Rack Cabinet - Locking, Vented

Our review of the Sysracks 22U server cabinet finds it best suited for small data rooms, SOHO projects and AV installations that need a secure, ventilated enclosure with generous usable depth. The cabinet's single biggest strength is its combination of practical features - a 35in usable depth, active cooling with four fans and an LCD thermostat, plus an 8-way PDU - which together make it straightforward to install and maintain 19in networking or server equipment while protecting hardware from unauthorized access and heat build-up.

Key Features

• 22U 35in usable depth: Fits standard 19in rack equipment up to 35in deep so servers and switches with deep chassis typically mount without modification.
• Active cooling with thermostat: Four fans and an LCD thermostat help maintain a safe internal temperature for continuous operation.
• 8-way PDU included: Built-in power distribution simplifies rack power management and reduces the need for extra power strips.
• Locking front glass and solid rear door: Provides physical security while allowing visual checks through the front glass panel.
• Mobile and serviceable: Casters, adjustable vertical rails and cable separators make installation, access and cable routing easier in tight spaces.
• Rugged finish and build: Powder paint with anticorrosive phosphate and steel rails deliver a sturdy frame rated to carry heavy loads.

Who It's For

This cabinet is aimed at small server rooms, home lab builders and AV integrators who need a lockable, ventilated and relatively deep rack that still fits through standard doorways. The included fans, thermostat and PDU reduce the need to source multiple accessories separately, which is attractive for single-rack deployments.

It is less suited to very large data centers that require higher density multi-rack solutions or fully redundant cooling systems. Buyers who need a shallower, ultra-light portable rack for occasional transport should consider a different, lighter enclosure.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build quality and powder coating that feels durable for long-term use.
• Excellent airflow management from four fans and thermostat for stable operating temperatures.

• Included PDU and accessories reduce setup time and extra purchases.

Cons

• Assembly instructions can be mixed; some users find setup confusing despite parts being included.
• At about 180-200 lbs assembled, this cabinet is heavy and requires care when moving despite casters.
