It appears to come with eight screws for securing equipment to the rack. If you need more or want them to be longer, I believe metric M5 size with would be the best option. Screws with an 8 pitch. They were available at Home Depot, and they were likely to be available at Lowes as well. If metric screws are unavailable, 10-inch screws will suffice. I counted 32 screws, but they were all a little sloppy. br>If you want to mount the rack to a wall, you'll need to supply your own screws that are appropriate for the surface you're mounting to.
Patch panels only; it is unquestionably not deep or strong enough to support a switch.
This will easily accommodate a 2U 48 port patch panel, or two 1U 24 port and one 1U 12 port patch panels for a total of 36 ports. However, compare the costs of these two options to a standard 48-port patch panel. I've never used a patch panel with 16 ports before.
This unit is designed to hold a patch panel that measures 2u x 19" in size. Normal bends in ethernet cables are accommodated by the clearance between the rear part that mounts to the wall and the front part. To see if there is enough clearance for a 10" shelf, look at the product description.

I mounted this (4U version) on a piece of plywood that I furring strips and tapcons to the basement wall. The entire structure is impenetrable. A 2U patch panel has been set up. br>br>As others have stated, you must supply your own wall anchors (I simply used 10 wood screws), but it does come with screws for attaching equipment to the rack. 9 of those screws were delivered to me. I bought two different types of incorrect screws before finding the right one - 10- 32 1/2". Other reviews (I tried M5/0) suggest metric. 8 - 12) or (no love) 24 but I am 100% sure I have found the right one at this moment. br>br>For this, I purchased the Navepoint 6" deep rack shelf, which is slightly too large. I ordered 4 1/2" spacers and 4 10-inch spacers. It took 32 3/4" machine screws to secure the shelf in place. br>br>Here's an idea: Get some 10-inch hinges if you'll be using the hinge function a lot. There are 32 thumb screws for the non-adhesive thumbscrews. Before swinging the rack equipment out, you must undo the hinged side.
Get some M5-sized screws if you want to mount a switch that's a little too deep for this bracket. Make a standoff for your switch with 8 screws and nuts (25mm to 50mm long, depending on how much extra space you need in the back). Those are metric measurements, but I found them in pairs for less than a dollar at my local Home Depot. If you can't find metric sizes, you might be able to get away with 10-inch sizes. 32 screws, but when I tried them, they didn't fit perfectly and were too loose in the bracket's screw holes. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> The standoffs have been photographed and are now available on the internet. The right angle cord can be seen in the back of one of the photos taken from below. The other view is from the side; it appears crooked because I believe I took the photo before leveling it.
This is a very nice rack. Don't make the same mistake I did and think you'll be able to fit a lot of stuff in there. The fact that this is only for patch panels is mentioned in all of the reviews and Q/A, as well as the name. Anything that lacks depth is a problem. I can't blame the product for my incompetence: br>br> ) As I explained: Seems like a sturdy little rack and I am 100% sure it will do its intended job really well.

Other than that, everything is smooth. Bends in the back have been reinforced. br>Complete the task. All surfaces and edges have a great black powder coat. Screws are a word that comes to mind when I think of screwdrivers. A total of ten M4x80 are included. br>Additional information: For a company based in the United States, this item was manufactured in Taiwan. However, there isn't a maker's mark to be found. The threads are powder coated and must be chased, which is the only drawback.
I agree with the previous reviewer's desire for a four-star rating. It's extremely sturdy, and the hinges are excellent. Most switches, as everyone has pointed out, will have a depth issue. I was able to successfully mount the TENDA TEH2400M 24-inch LCD monitor. There are two ways to switch ports in this rack. The first option is to use zip ties instead of screws and a 90-degree or low-profile power cord, while the second option is to use the lowest mount in the rack and drill a hole in the wall to match up to where the power cord would protrude. I've purchased a number of them, and I'm planning to purchase another today. So I'm a believer, but 10" of depth would bring this rack up to par, and in my opinion - It should be flawless.
I mounted this panel bracket in a closet so I could wire the house with CAT6. br>When I was planning the wiring for the house, this bracket was exactly what I needed. br>At the moment, it is TP-. On top of the switch is a Link 24 Port switch, patch panel, and modem/router. When it came to working on the patch panel, the hinge came in handy. Adding a switch, as others have said, is extremely difficult. Longer screws with washers and a 90-degree power cord were used to help space it out a little.
The sided hinge came in handy for connecting all of my wires in the back. br>br>It was used with 2x.
This mount works, but make sure you secure it to a stud or use drywall anchors of good quality. I understand it isn't meant to support a lot of weight, but the mounting holes are in the middle of the bracket when they should be closer to the top and bottom edges to better distribute the weight. The only time this might be a problem is if you're only mounting it into drywall. It is recommended that you use a high-quality screw-in drywall anchor. You might also require a few small washers. The bolts for attaching your patch panel are included in this mount, and they are high-quality hex head bolts with philips.
