Product Description
9U 300mm wall cabinet: where does it fit in a CCTV or network install?
This cabinet houses the patch panels, switches and NVR-side network gear behind a CCTV or structured cabling deployment, wall-mounted rather than floor-standing to suit shallow plant rooms, comms cupboards or back-office corners.
Key specs
- 9U capacity, standard 19-inch rack width
- External dimensions: 600mm (W) × 300mm (D) × 500mm (H)
- Steel construction, black powder-coated finish
- Lockable front door for controlled access
- Ventilation panels that let air circulate passively around powered equipment.
- Wall-mounted fixing, suited to network or communications areas
Where it's used
The 300mm depth is the deciding factor here: it's shallow enough for spaces that can't take a full-depth server cabinet, but still holds standard 19-inch patch panels and network switches. Typical deployments pair it with a PoE switch feeding IP cameras, a patch panel terminating structured cabling runs, and sometimes a compact NVR where rack space allows.
Suits network distribution points, small office comms rooms, retail back-of-house, and CCTV control points where equipment needs to be secured but the footprint stays modest. The lockable door limits tampering with live switches and patching, which matters wherever the cabinet sits in a publicly accessible corridor or shared building area.
Check U-height and depth requirements of your switch and patch panel stack before specifying — 9U is generous for a small site but fills quickly once a patch panel, PoE switch and cable management bar are all racked.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size equipment does this cabinet hold?
It takes standard 19-inch rack-mounted networking hardware up to 9U, such as patch panels and switches, within a 600mm (W) x 300mm (D) x 500mm (H) enclosure.
Is the 300mm depth enough for a network switch and patch panel together?
The shallow 300mm depth suits compact switches and patch panels; check the depth of your specific equipment before installing, as available space is limited compared to a full-depth cabinet.
Does the cabinet lock?
Yes, it has a lockable front door that provides controlled access to installed equipment while still allowing maintenance access when needed.
Is it suitable for CCTV installations?
Yes, it's commonly used in CCTV system installations and structured cabling environments where organised rack mounting and equipment protection are needed.
