Ten-inch rather than nineteen, and rails in three depth positions

DIGITUS 10-inch 6U wall cabinet, 330 × 312 × 300 mm, lockable glass door

The smallest cabinet in this hub and the only 10-inch one, sized for a flat or a small office where a full rack would be absurd, with an earthing bolt and cable entries top and bottom.

DIGITUS grey 10-inch six-unit wall network cabinet with a glass door

DIGITUS 10-inch 6U wall cabinet, 330 × 312 × 300 mm, lockable glass door

The smallest cabinet in this hub and the only 10-inch one, sized for a flat or a small office where a full rack would be absurd, with an earthing bolt and cable entries top and bottom.

Rack units
Six — stated in the title, alongside the outer dimensions of 330 × 312 × 300 mm in height, width and depth
Mounting width
10-inch — stated in the title and in the first bullet, and given as 254 mm in the fifth, which lists the DIGITUS components available in that format: patch panels, LAN and PoE switches, socket strips, cable management and shelves
Usable internal depth
Not published on the listing — the title gives an outer depth of 300 mm and no bullet gives a rail-to-rail figure. The fourth says the rails can be fitted in three different positions, which changes the usable depth without stating any of the three values
Wall or floor mounting
Wall — the first bullet calls it a 10-inch wall enclosure for structured IT cabling, suited to a home or a small office environment
Rail arrangement
Profile rails adjustable to three different positions — stated in the fourth bullet. The number of rails and whether they are square-hole or threaded is not published on the listing
Door type
Lockable glass — stated in the second bullet, which gives visual inspection of a router, a NAS or a switch as the reason for the glazing and protection from unauthorised access as the reason for the lock
Ventilation
Not published on the listing — no vents, no louvres and no fan aperture is named anywhere. The door is glass, which is the arrangement that moves the least air, and the third bullet describes the cable entries without mentioning airflow
Stated load rating
Not published on the listing — no static load figure appears. The fourth bullet names a steel housing and an earthing bolt, and gives no weight the cabinet will carry
Cable entries
In the floor and the roof — stated in the third bullet, which says power and network cable can be brought into the mini rack from below as well as from above
Lock type
Not published on the listing — the door is described as lockable in the second bullet and no lock pattern, key type or barrel is named

  • The only 10-inch cabinet here, which is the format that suits a flat rather than a plant room
  • Rails adjustable to three depth positions inside a shallow enclosure
  • No usable internal depth published, on the cabinet where the margin is smallest

Best for: A flat or a small office where the whole network is a router, a switch and a 10-inch patch panel, and the cupboard has 300 mm to give.

On the listing

A small 10-inch wall enclosure of six rack units, 330 mm high, 312 mm wide and 300 mm deep, in grey, described as compact while remaining fully usable for structured IT cabling and suited to a home or small office; a lockable glass door protecting the network from unauthorised access while allowing visual inspection of a router, NAS or switch; cable entries in the floor and the roof so that power and network cable can enter from below or above; profile rails fittable in three different positions, and a steel housing connectable to the house bonding through an earthing bolt; and a fifth bullet listing the components available in the 10-inch format at 254 mm.

Ten inches, and what that decides

The width is the whole product, and it is a decision about the parts rather than about the box.

Ten-inch is the small rack convention: 254 mm across, against roughly 483 mm for a 19-inch cabinet. The fifth bullet is unusually helpful about the consequence, because rather than treating the width as a dimension it treats it as a catalogue — patch panels, LAN and PoE switches, socket strips, cable management, shelves, all in that format.

That is the right way to think about it. A 10-inch cabinet is not a smaller version of a 19-inch one; it is a different fitting standard with a narrower range of equipment made for it. On the patch panel shelf of this site there is one 10-inch panel and three 19-inch ones.

Where it wins is where a 19-inch cabinet cannot go at all. Six units at 312 mm wide fits in a hall cupboard, above a meter board, under a stair.

Three rail positions and no depth to go with them

The fourth bullet says the profile rails can be fitted in three different positions.

That is a genuinely useful feature in a shallow enclosure, because it lets a deep switch sit further back and a shallow patch panel sit further forward, so that the door closes over both.

What the page never does is name a single one of those three depths, or the outer-to-inner difference they are measured from. The 300 mm in the title is the depth of the cabinet, not the room inside it: subtract the door, the frame and the rail assembly, then subtract the bend of a power lead behind whatever is mounted.

Three cabinets on this shelf publish an internal or usable figure. This is one of the four that leaves the buyer to guess, and it is the one with the least margin to guess with.

A glass door, and no vents at all

The second bullet sells the glazing on visibility, which is fair — a blinking light behind glass is a diagnosis without opening anything.

But no bullet on this page names a vent, a louvre, a mesh section or a fan aperture. A glass door is the arrangement that moves the least air of any door type on this shelf, and this cabinet has no other opening described except the cable entries in the floor and the roof.

Six units of home network equipment is not a heat problem in most rooms. It becomes one in a cupboard with no airflow, and the page offers nothing to plan around.

The earthing bolt

The fourth bullet names a bolt connecting the steel housing to the potential equalisation of the house wiring.

That is the correct fitting and it is worth noticing because it is the counterpart of every screened panel on the patch panel shelf. A screened installation terminated into a screened panel bolted into an unbonded cabinet is a screen with nowhere to go. This cabinet has the point; the lead and the electrician are still the buyer’s problem.

Before ordering

Measure the deepest thing you intend to mount, add the bend of its power lead, and put that question to the seller as a usable depth — the page does not answer it. Check that the panel and switch you want exist in the 10-inch format. And plan the airflow yourself, because a glass door with no vents is what this cabinet has.

It is stocked on the American and British Amazon stores as well, in that country’s own currency. The range above leaves those out: it counts euro stores and no others.

The Italian Amazon price runs past 1.6× the cheapest store. A gap that size normally marks a reshipper and not a seller in the country, so that listing stays out of the range above.

  • Extralink black 19-inch nine-unit network cabinet with a lockable door and a shelf

    EXTRALINK 19-inch 9U cabinet, 400 mm deep, 340 mm of equipment depth stated, 60 kg load

    The cabinet that answers the question its neighbours dodge: it publishes not just its own 400 mm depth but the 340 mm of equipment that will go inside it, and ships a shelf in the same box.

    Rack units
    Nine — stated in the title, alongside a depth of 400 mm
    Mounting width
    19-inch — stated in the title and repeated in the first and third bullets, which call it a 19-inch rack and a 19-inch network cabinet
    Usable internal depth
    Given as an equipment depth rather than a rail measurement: the third bullet says the cabinet takes the commonest network devices up to a depth of 340 mm, naming switches, servers, patch panels and CCTV recorders. The cabinet itself is 400 mm deep, so the 60 mm difference is stated by implication rather than as a rail-to-rail figure
    Wall or floor mounting
    Either — the fifth bullet says it can be hung on a wall or stood free, and calls that complete flexibility regardless of the size and layout of the room
    Rail arrangement
    Not published on the listing — no number of rails, no depth adjustment and no hole pattern is named. The first bullet says the full mounting hardware is included and the assembly takes about fifteen minutes with no specialist knowledge
    Door type
    Lockable, with a 180-degree opening stated in the title. The second bullet gives protection of the equipment as the reason for the lock. The door material is not published on the listing
    Ventilation
    Ventilation slots — named in the fourth bullet together with cable entries, credited with optimal cooling of the equipment and a tidier cable arrangement. No fan aperture and no vent dimension is given
    Stated load rating
    60 kg — stated in the title as the carrying capacity
    Cable entries
    Named in the fourth bullet as cable feed-throughs alongside the ventilation slots, credited with an aesthetically pleasing cable arrangement. Their number, position and whether they carry brush strips is not published on the listing
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the door is described as lockable in the second bullet and no lock pattern, key type or barrel is named

    • Publishes the equipment depth it accepts, 340 mm, which is the figure a buyer actually measures against
    • A shelf is included, so the router with no rack ears has somewhere to sit on day one
    • The rail arrangement is nowhere described, so nothing says whether the rear is supported

    Best for: A nine-unit installation in a room where it might be wall-hung now and stood on the floor later, with equipment no deeper than 340 mm.

  • DSIT black 19-inch nine-unit wall network cabinet with a glass door

    DSIT 19-inch 9U wall cabinet, 600 × 450 × 500 mm outside, 500 × 350 × 400 mm inside

    The dearest cabinet in this hub and the only one that answers the question the whole shelf turns on: it publishes an internal depth of 350 mm beside an external one of 450 mm, in the same bullet.

    Rack units
    Nine — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which calls it a solid 9U 19-inch wall-mounted network cabinet
    Mounting width
    19-inch — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets, the latter naming four adjustable 19-inch mounting rails
    Usable internal depth
    350 mm — the fifth bullet gives the internal dimensions as 500 × 350 × 400 mm in width, depth and height, against outer dimensions of 600 × 450 × 500 mm. It is the only listing on this shelf that publishes an internal figure for all three axes
    Wall or floor mounting
    Wall — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which includes a drilling template in the delivery
    Rail arrangement
    Four flexibly adjustable 19-inch mounting rails — stated in the second bullet. It is the only cabinet on this shelf to publish a rail count, and four rails is the arrangement that supports equipment at the rear as well as the front
    Door type
    Lockable glass with a reversible hinge — the second bullet names a changeable door stop for individual adaptation, and the fourth a lockable door with a lock
    Ventilation
    Ventilation holes in the floor and top plates for optimal air circulation — stated in the third bullet, with the fourth adding a provision for fan mounting. No fan size and no aperture dimension is published
    Stated load rating
    Not published on the listing — no static load figure appears. The fifth bullet gives the cabinet’s own weight as 19 kg and the first calls the construction solid
    Cable entries
    Above and below — stated in the fourth bullet as cable feed-throughs at the top and the bottom for tidy cabling, alongside the lockable door
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet names a lockable door with a lock and gives no pattern, key type or barrel

  • HB-DIGITAL black 19-inch twelve-unit wall network cabinet with a glass door

    HB-DIGITAL 19-inch 12U wall cabinet, 400 mm deep, 170–270 mm mounting depth, 60 kg load

    Twelve rack units on a wall with the one figure most cabinets omit — a mounting depth given as a range rather than a promise — plus a brush strip at the entries and a door that swings clear through 200 degrees.

    Rack units
    Twelve — stated in the title and in the first bullet
    Mounting width
    19-inch — stated in the title and in the first bullet
    Usable internal depth
    A mounting depth adjustable from 170 mm to 270 mm — stated in the first bullet as the range offered for different network devices, inside a cabinet the title gives as 400 mm deep. It is the only cabinet on this shelf to publish its usable depth as a range with both ends named
    Wall or floor mounting
    Wall — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which calls it suitable for wall mounting
    Rail arrangement
    Depth-adjustable across the 170 to 270 mm range named in the first bullet. The number of rails, whether the rear is supported and the hole pattern is not published on the listing
    Door type
    Lockable glass with a 200-degree opening angle — stated in the title and in the second bullet, which gives protection from unauthorised access and easy visual inspection as its two reasons
    Ventilation
    Ventilation slots integrated in the roof for improved air circulation, with a fan described as retrofittable — stated in the fourth bullet. No fan size and no aperture dimension is published on the listing
    Stated load rating
    Up to 60 kg — stated in the title and in the third bullet, alongside a 1.2 mm steel sheet powder-coated in RAL 9005 black
    Cable entries
    In the roof and the floor, with a brush strip — stated in the fifth bullet for clean and flexible cable routing. It is the only brush strip named on this shelf
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the glass door is described as lockable in the title and in the second bullet and no lock pattern, key type or barrel is named

    ICY BOX IB-1807MT-C31, NVMe enclosure up to 2 TB, USB 3.2 Gen 2, write-protect switch, combined cable

    The only enclosure in this hub with a write-protect switch on the outside, and one of two that names the lead in the box — a combined cable covering both socket types.

    Supported drive protocols
    NVMe SSDs — stated in the title and in the first bullet. M.2 SATA drives are neither named as supported nor named as excluded anywhere on the page
    Supported drive lengths
    Common sizes up to 2280 — stated in the first bullet, which gives the capacity ceiling as 2 TB. The individual lengths below 2280 are not listed
    Interface standard
    USB 3.2 Gen 2 — stated in the title and in the third bullet
    Stated link rate
    Up to 10 Gbit/s — stated in the third bullet, which gives copying large volumes of data as the case for it. No condition on the cable or the host port is published
    Connector type
    Type-C — the fourth bullet describes the supplied combined cable as Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A, which makes the socket on the enclosure a Type-C one
    Case material
    Aluminium — stated in the title. No wall thickness and no finish is published
    Thermal arrangement
    Not published on the listing — no thermal pad, no heatsink and no fin pattern is named in any of the five bullets. The aluminium in the title is the only thermal statement on the page, and it is a material rather than an arrangement
    Tool-free assembly
    Tool-free — the second bullet says the drive is installed without tools and without small screws, which it credits with saving the nerves
    Cables supplied
    A combined cable, Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A — stated in the fourth bullet, which says the right connection is always immediately to hand. It is one of two enclosures on this shelf to name its lead

    SABRENT NVMe-only enclosure, 2230 to 2280 up to 8 TB, USB 3.2 Gen 2, aluminium heatsink, Type-A adapter

    The enclosure that puts its own exclusion in the title — NVMe only, no SATA — and ships an adapter so that an older machine with no Type-C socket is not left out.

    Supported drive protocols
    M.2 PCIe NVMe only — stated in the title as no SATA, and again in the first bullet, which says M.2 SATA SSDs are not supported and asks the buyer to check the interface before use
    Supported drive lengths
    2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 — all four listed in the first bullet, up to 8 TB. It is one of two enclosures on this shelf to state an 8 TB ceiling
    Interface standard
    USB 3.2 Gen 2 — stated in the title and in the second bullet
    Stated link rate
    10 Gbps — stated in the title and in the second bullet as a high data transfer rate over USB-C. No condition on the cable or the host port is published
    Connector type
    Type-C, with a Type-A adapter included for older systems — both stated in the title and in the second bullet
    Case material
    An aluminium heatsink combined with an ABS body — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which gives better heat dissipation, reliability and long service life as the reasons
    Thermal arrangement
    An aluminium heatsink — named in the title and in the fourth bullet. No thermal pad is named, which is the part that carries heat from the controller into the metal
    Tool-free assembly
    Tool-free — the third bullet describes installing or replacing the drive without screws, and calls it suited to travel and to portable upgrades
    Cables supplied
    A Type-A adapter is included, stated in the title and in the second bullet. No data cable is named anywhere on the listing, and the fifth bullet says no drivers and no external power supply are needed

  • DIGITUS compact M.2 SATA SSD enclosure with a USB Type-C socket

    DIGITUS M.2 SATA B-key enclosure, 2230 to 2280, USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C, 101 × 32 × 10 mm

    The cheapest enclosure on this shelf and the only one that will not read an NVMe drive at all: a B-key M.2 SATA housing whose chipset is named and whose dimensions are printed to the millimetre.

    Supported drive protocols
    M.2 SATA in the B-key format only — stated in the title and in the second bullet. No NVMe drive will work in it, and the key notch of an M.2 SATA drive and an NVMe drive look much the same, which is why the title says B-Key and why this line says it first
    Supported drive lengths
    2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 — all four listed in the second bullet, with a capacity of up to 8 TB given in the third
    Interface standard
    USB 3.1 Gen2 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which adds backward compatibility with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1
    Stated link rate
    6 Gbps — the first bullet says the USB 3.1 Gen2 interface supports transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps. Six gigabits per second is the rate of the SATA III standard rather than of a USB 3.1 Gen2 port, and the listing prints the two figures against each other without reconciling them
    Connector type
    Type-C — stated in the title. The socket on the enclosure is what is described; the cable in the box is not published on the listing
    Case material
    Not published on the listing — no metal and no plastic is named. The fourth bullet gives the dimensions as 101 × 32 × 10 mm and calls the enclosure a suitable companion for travel, the office or university
    Thermal arrangement
    Not published on the listing — no thermal pad, no heatsink and no fin pattern is named. The third bullet credits the JMS576B chipset with reliable and efficient performance and says nothing about heat
    Tool-free assembly
    Tool-free — the second bullet says the M.2 module is inserted without tools, which it gives as the reason the installation is easier
    Cables supplied
    Not published on the listing — no lead is named in any bullet. The fourth says the power comes over USB with no separate mains adapter, which describes the supply rather than the cable
