Does anyone know if the front rail is adjustable? I really like the Sanus racks because I can modify the front rail to accommodate for horizontal wire management. The racks appear to be a fixed shallow depth behind the front door.

Hello,
I am the Product Manager for Strong Racks here at Snap. The rails are in a fixed location and cannot be adjusted. The distance between the front rail and the front door is 2.5". Total rail to rail distance is 18.25". Please give me a call at 704-746-5389 if you have any more questions. Thanks

Will that accommodate the "SR-IT-WIREMGT-HORZ" which indicates 2.57" deep?

You could use a brushed 1U pass through grommet below the switch (assuming you need something for a front-mounted switch), for a relatively clean look and if you have the RUs, or can you mount the switch to the back?  I see Neat Patch is 3" deep, and Panduit's most shallow Horizontal Cable Management PatchLink is 2.7", so those are out.

Yeah we've used a lot of the BR1's but I've been liking the look and feel of the HCM vs. the pass throughs. I'm guessing the .07" will not be an issue. 26" deep MRK's are my first choice, but I like the idea of using Snap racks and not having to buy a Sanus and throwing all of the shelves. We have used them for the random "no rack" on a shelf jobs but I would rather stick with only one mfg per rack. What I will miss is the extra room of the Sanus...

You would need to drill or cut pass-through holes, but you could just use 2" X 3" or 2" X 2" black slotted wiring duct attached to a blank plate.
Panduit, Hellermann-Tyton, and others available in black.
Unsure on the finger spacing.

The Snap FS series are junk. I used a 27 and a 42 and will never do so again. Cheap Chinese manufacturing, low quality thin steel, the 42 struggles to maintain itself square and the door constantly sticks when opening/closing because the rack keeps torquing itself.
Never EVER had an issue with MA RCS and that's what we'll continue to use for this application.

Whats the cost difference in MA and Snap? It's because you use URC and Snap gear that has no weight to it! :P

The MA RCS goes up to 42U and has front and rear adjustable rails. Custom vs. Sort of. You are right, different job.... The height specification on this job is that there is a supply ductwork that is 77" high. The ductwork cannot be move either as I already looked. MA is closer to 78" with the casters off and the Snap rack is 76.8" high. I'm giving it a shot. It's not my first choice but it's worth a shot because of how great Snap is with problems. This isn't going to be a show rack.

Hey drewski,
I just checked and the SR-IT-WIREMGT-HORZ does work in the front of the FS racks with the door closed. The dimension listed online seems to be off. It is just over 2" deep, not the 2.57" listed. I will update that.
