Telecom Infrastructure · wall cabinet RFQ
LinkScope Sourcing 46 works as an independent sourcing partner. A 12u wall mount network rack price is comparable only after the mounting height, usable depth, hinge side, and included steel are written as separate cells. The desk does not stock cabinets and does not publish a street price.
One rack unit is 1.75 in (44.45 mm) under EIA-310 practice. Twelve units therefore describe a 21.00 in (533.4 mm) rail opening. That figure is the mounting height, not the outer box. Ask the factory which dimension the quoted price uses, and whether the door, fan tray, and wall brackets sit outside it.
Measured US search interest for this exact phrase was volume 10 in the 27 October 2026 review file. That count is a keyword observation, not a forecast of inquiries or a claim that any factory will answer.

The October 2026 desk review treats a cabinet quotation as incomplete when any of these cells is blank. Numbers below are definitions and questions, not measurements taken on a unit this site holds.
| Cell | What to write | Why the price moves |
|---|---|---|
| Rack unit | 12U rail opening equals 21.00 in (533.4 mm). Confirm the outer height separately. | A taller skin or a thicker top brush can change the carton and the wall space. |
| Usable depth | State millimeters behind the front rail after the door. A 450 mm outer shell is not 450 mm of equipment depth. | Shallow closets reject a 600 mm body even when the rail count matches. |
| Static load | Ask whether a cited 60 kg (132 lb) figure is uniform rail load or a point load, and whether wall anchors are in the price. | The wall, not the steel stamp, often sets the limit. Anchors on drywall without a plywood backer are a different assembly. |
| Hinge | Left or right, swing in degrees, and the clear floor in front of the wall. Many bodies are offered at 90 or 110 degrees; the drawing decides. | A hallway door can block the swing even when the cabinet itself fits the studs. |
| Exclusions | RJ45 patch panel, fans, shelf, PDU, freight, and duties stay off the cabinet line unless the quote names them. | A single rolled-up figure cannot be compared with a steel-only figure. |
EIA-310 describes the 19 in nominal panel and the repeating hole spacing of 0.625 in, 0.625 in, and 0.500 in. It does not certify a particular wall cabinet. Ask for the drawing revision that shows square holes, tapped 12-24 holes, or a mix.
Records quantity in cabinets, the US destination, the requested ship window, currency, and whether a target budget is per cabinet or the whole order. A high-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided preference is a buyer note, not a factory grade.
States the 19 in rail, the hole pattern, and whether a 24-port or 48-port RJ45 panel shares this RFQ. Channel insertion loss, return loss, and 100 ohm impedance belong on the jack datasheet, not on the steel shell.
Measures stud spacing, often 16 in on center, the plywood backer thickness, and the swing path. Ingress protection is relevant only if the closet is dusty or the cabinet is specified for a harsher room; a typical IDF is not an outdoor rating.
New versus refurbished wall cabinets is an open industry argument, not a verdict from this desk. A new cabinet can carry a current drawing, a stated load method, and a warranty written for that model. A refurbished cabinet can cover a legacy hole pattern when the seller lists bent rails, missing cage nuts, paint over holes, and the warranty that actually remains. Neither condition is inventory here.
OEM-coded versus compatible RJ45 jacks is a second argument when the panel is quoted with the cabinet. An OEM jack may track a vendor support policy more directly. A compatible jack may widen the supplier list if contact plating, connector mating cycle, and the exact host panel are verified. A shared RJ45 outline does not settle alien crosstalk or the mating-cycle count.
Limits the desk will not paper over: no plant ownership, no stored cabinets, and no statement that a brochure load applies to your wall. Power over Ethernet, switching capacity, and forwarding rate stay on a switch line if a switch is mounted inside. Read the quote fields for a 12U wall server rack or the inquiry lines before sending the brief.
Write rack units, usable depth, hinge side, hole pattern, wall substrate, quantity, US destination, and the week you need the cartons. Add currency and say whether a budget is per cabinet or the whole order. Leave blank any cell you have not measured.
A worked closet example, not a completed job of this desk: a 12U body, 450 mm outer depth, left hinge, 16 in stud centers, and a 24-port RJ45 panel kept on its own line. The comparison result is a set of factory answers on that basis, not a saved percentage.
