Condition: New

The 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet measuring 530 x 400 x 300mm is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 8,000, sized to hold 19-inch switches, patch panels, routers, and compact recorders behind a locking door. Cold-rolled steel forms the frame, the removable side panels, and the door, with vented openings across the top, base, and front for airflow. Mascom International stocks the 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Adjustable 19-inch mounting rails, top and bottom cable entries, and wall or desk placement come standard.
Hotel and guest house managers in Diani and Naivasha, campus ICT departments, county sub-office administrators, and warehouse supervisors along the Nairobi-Mombasa corridor all share one headache. Network hardware ends up on a window ledge, a stack of cartons, or a ceiling board, where dust settles on it and anybody passing can unplug it. The 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet ends that inside 530mm of wall width. Six rack units carry a patch panel, a switch, a recorder, a router shelf, and a power strip in one locked place that a technician can open, check, and close again.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that treat mounting hardware as an upsell, Mascom International supplies the 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet with cage nuts, screws, wall fixings, and two keys included. Fibre contractors consistently report that the 300mm height clears above-door positions where a floor-standing rack was never an option. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from teams wiring guest houses, hostels, and multi-tenant buildings from Westlands to Kisii. Visit our Kimathi Street store to check the 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet against your equipment, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet
How much more equipment does 6U hold than a 4U cabinet?
Two extra rack units, which works out to 88.9mm of additional mounting height. In practice that is the difference between fitting a recorder and a switch, or fitting a recorder, a switch, a patch panel, a router shelf, and a rack power strip together. Six rack units total 266.7mm of vertical space. Installers who expect to add a second switch or a backup unit within a year usually take the 6U rather than come back later.
What do the 530 x 400 x 300mm dimensions mean when planning wall space?
530mm is the external width, 400mm the depth, and 300mm the height. Leave around 600mm of clear wall width and 500mm of swing room in front for the door. The 300mm height fits above a doorway or below a ceiling soffit where taller enclosures cannot go. Depth is the figure that catches people out. Equipment longer than roughly 350mm fouls the rear frame, so measure from front panel to rear connectors.
Can this cabinet hold a CCTV recorder and a PoE switch together?
Yes, with room left over. A 4-channel, 8-channel, or 16-channel recorder occupies 1U or 2U, and a 16-port or 24-port PoE switch takes another 1U. That leaves two or three units free for a patch panel and airflow gaps. Hikvision, Dahua, and Uniview recorders in current Kenyan stock all sit inside the depth limit. Leave one empty unit above the recorder so hard drive heat clears the enclosure.
Will six stacked devices overheat inside a closed cabinet?
Not with passive gear in a normal room. Vents along the top panel, base, and door create bottom-to-top convection that carries warm air out continuously. Switches, patch panels, and routers each give off modest heat. Trouble starts when a PoE switch runs near full load beside a recorder in a sealed store room. In that case bolt a fan tray onto the top panel, or leave one unit empty between the two.
Can I fit a UPS or rack power strip inside alongside the network gear?
A 1U rack power strip fits comfortably and keeps Kenya Power sockets off the floor. Rack-mount UPS units are a tighter call, since most 1U models run 400mm or deeper and will not clear the rear frame here. A small tower unit usually sits on a shelf beside the cabinet instead. With Kenya Power interruptions common upcountry, plan the backup before you fix the cabinet to the wall.
How difficult is installation and what tools do I need?
About 30 minutes with a masonry drill, four anchor bolts, a spirit level, and a screwdriver. Mark the rear bracket holes, drill, plug, then hang the empty cabinet before loading equipment, because lifting a full one is much harder. Cage nuts clip into the square rail holes by hand. On block or concrete walls the fixings hold directly, while partition walls need the anchors driven into structural studs.
How do I keep patch cables tidy inside the cabinet?
Bring Cat6 and fibre in through the top entry and power through the base, so data and mains stay apart. Terminate on a patch panel at the top, place the switch directly beneath it, and run 300mm patch leads between them. Velcro ties on the vertical rail slots hold each bundle. Label both ends before the door closes. Tidy termination turns a two-hour fault call into a ten-minute one.
Is the 6U Wall Mount Network Cabinet worth KSh 8,000 in Kenya?
For anyone mounting three or more devices, yes. A 24-port PoE switch starts near KSh 25,000 and an 8-channel recorder with a drive costs about the same, so KSh 8,000 protects roughly five times its own price. Equipment left on a shelf collects dust, gets unplugged by cleaning staff, and fails early. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the lock alone pays for itself the first time a site changes tenants.
Should I choose 6U now or go straight to 9U or 12U?
6U gives 266.7mm of mounting height, 9U gives 400mm, and 12U gives 533mm. Take 6U when the site runs one switch, one recorder, one patch panel, and a router, which covers most single-floor buildings. Move up when you plan a second switch, a rack backup unit, or fibre splice trays. Mascom International stocks the larger sizes as well, so send us your equipment list and we will confirm the fit.
Technical Specifications
Rack Capacity and Internal Dimensions
- 6U of usable rack height equals 266mm, enough for six single-height 19-inch devices stacked vertically.
- External dimensions measure 530mm wide, 400mm deep, and 300mm high for tight wall runs.
- Mounting rails follow the 19-inch EIA standard, spaced 465mm apart between rail faces.
- Front-to-rear rail depth adjusts, letting you match shallow patch panels or deeper recorders precisely.
- Usable equipment depth reaches roughly 350mm once front door clearance is subtracted from the frame.
- Suits one switch, one patch panel, one router shelf, one recorder, and a power strip together.
Steel Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Cold-rolled steel frame, side panels, and door resist knocks in busy store rooms and corridors.
- Electrostatic powder-coat finish in black slows rust in humid coastal and lakeside Kenyan installations.
- Welded frame construction holds shape under load without flexing when equipment mounts front-heavy.
- Wall-mounted cabinets of this size typically carry 50kg to 60kg depending on wall material and anchors.
- Enclosed body keeps construction dust, insects, and airborne debris off switch ports and cooling vents.
Door Security and Panel Access
- Lockable front door with two supplied keys prevents casual tampering with live network equipment.
- Removable side panels fasten from inside the cabinet, so they stay fixed while the door is locked.
- Door hinges allow full swing for cable work, with the panel lifting clear for larger installations.
- Rear panel carries mounting brackets and anchors solidly into concrete, brick, or block walls.
- Lock and keys let building managers restrict access to authorised technicians only, not general staff.
Ventilation and Heat Management
- Vented openings on the top panel let warm air escape upward by natural convection alone.
- Base and door vents draw cooler room air in low, creating steady bottom-to-top airflow inside.
- Top panel accepts a bolt-on cooling fan tray for hot rooms in Mombasa, Kisumu, or Lodwar.
- Passive airflow suits switches, patch panels, routers, and recorders that produce modest heat during operation.
- Leaving one rack unit free above a recorder helps hard drives run cooler and last longer.
Mounting Options and Installation Hardware
- Rear keyhole brackets accept four wall anchors, positioning the cabinet at eye height for easy servicing.
- Flat base allows desk, counter, shelf, or floor placement where wall fixing is not possible.
- Masonry walls take the loaded cabinet directly; partition walls need fixing into structural studs instead.
- Cage nuts and screws let you reposition equipment later without drilling new holes anywhere.
- Typical installation takes about 30 minutes using a masonry drill, spirit level, and screwdriver.
Cable Routing and Equipment Compatibility
- Cable entry openings on the top and base route Cat6, fibre, and power leads separately.
- Fits Cisco, TP-Link, D-Link, Ruijie, MikroTik, and Ubiquiti rack switches built to 19-inch width.
- Accepts 12-port and 24-port patch panels for structured cabling in offices, schools, and retail branches.
- Houses compact Hikvision and Dahua recorders of 4, 8, or 16 channels within the depth limit.
- Rack power strips mount horizontally, keeping Kenya Power sockets and UPS leads off the floor.
- Vertical rail slots hold velcro cable ties, keeping patch leads sorted by port and floor.
