Post Body

Hello, I am in the process of setting up my network at home. All the cables are in the cupboard under my stairs. I want to fit a rack to house my proposed equipment but the traditional 600x600mm racks don’t fit too well under the slope of the stairs.

I am considering something like the two post system but my only concern is I won’t be able to support the cables at the back of my patch panels. Is there something that I can add to this to support the cables?

My other idea is to buy the rack components separately and build a 4 post open rack where the posts at the back are shorter than the front so it will sit better under the stairs. Is this possible?

I’m completely new to this and getting lost down many rabbit holes on google! Yes I have a lot of cables and yes I will have good cooling installed.

I am based in the UK
