StarTech.com 2POSTRACK12 12U 19-inch Open-Frame 2-Post Rack

Brand:

12U, 19-inch, steel open-frame 2-post rack for rack-mount servers, networking, telecom and AV equipment. Its 160 kg stationary load capacity, compact footprint, open access and EIA/ECA-310-E compliance make it suitable for space-constrained IT rooms, offices, labs, studios and distributed infrastructure deployments.

OVERVIEW

  • The StarTech.com 2POSTRACK12 is a 12U, 19-inch open-frame 2-post rack designed for organizing rack-mount IT, networking, telecom and AV equipment where compact deployment and equipment access matter. Its steel construction supports up to 160 kg while the open design simplifies front/rear access and airflow. Compatibility: EIA/ECA-310-E 19-inch rack equipment. Model comparison: Unlike lighter 12U models such as RK12OD, this model supports substantially higher loads; choose it when equipment weight is a priority. 

USE CASES

  • SMB networking closets - Provides 12U of organized rack space for switches, patching hardware and other 19-inch equipment without requiring a full cabinet.
  • Telecom equipment deployment - Supports compatible rack-mount telecom hardware while keeping equipment accessible from the front and rear.
  • IT laboratory environments - Open construction makes hardware changes, testing and troubleshooting easier.
  • AV and broadcast installations - Suitable for compatible rack-mount AV, distribution and studio equipment in space-constrained environments.
  • Repair and technology workshops - Creates a dedicated mounting platform for rack-mount equipment while maintaining convenient technician access.
  • Distributed infrastructure locations - Compact dimensions make it practical for smaller offices and locations without dedicated server rooms.
  • Office network installations - Provides structured rack organization for compatible network infrastructure.
  • Staging and equipment preparation - Flat-pack construction can simplify transportation and storage before deployment. 

KEY FEATURES

  • 12U open-frame architecture - Provides dedicated vertical rack capacity while keeping equipment accessible for installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • 19-inch rack compatibility - Supports standard EIA/ECA-310-E rack-mount equipment, simplifying equipment selection and infrastructure planning
  • 160 kg / 352.8 lb stationary capacity - Provides substantially greater load headroom than lightweight 12U alternatives, supporting heavier compatible deployments. 
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction - Provides a stable mounting structure for professional IT, telecom and AV equipment.
  • 2-post design - Uses less physical structure than enclosed cabinets, making it useful where open access and a compact footprint are priorities.
  • Open-frame design - Improves physical access around mounted equipment and avoids the enclosure structure of a cabinet.
  • L-shaped mounting rails with circular holes - Work with the supplied clip nuts for straightforward equipment mounting. 
  • Tool-less clip nuts included - Reduces installation effort compared with conventional cage-nut installation.
  • Flat-pack assembly - Reduces shipping volume and allows the rack to be stored before deployment.
  • Lifetime warranty and technical support - Helps reduce long-term ownership risk for infrastructure deployments. 
  • TAA compliant - Supports procurement requirements where Trade Agreements Act compliance is required.
