I'm looking for some sort of small/portable/half height enclosed server cabinet I can put in my home office. I'm going to have something like 80 drops scattered throughout our new house we're building, regarding network and security, so I was thinking of going with something like this:
https://www.tripplite.com/18U-SmartRack-Deep-Rack-Enclosure-Cabinet~SR18UB
It's about $600 or so. This would go in my office, so I'm trying to avoid something wall mounted.
Is that a decent rack? Or is there something better? I don't want something that is any larger than that, but if there is something better quality or more sound proof, I'm all ears. Something that is between 16U and 20U would probably be perfect. I'd like for it to be enclosed, and not an open rack.
I'd be putting two 48 port patch panels, and two 48 port switches in it. I've budgeted up to $1,000 for the cabinet itself, but I'm willing to spend much less than that. I can't really find anything besides that Tripp Lite that matches what I'm looking for...but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.
Is that Tripp Lite cabinet deep enough for what I want to do? What depth should I be looking for on other cabinets?
