Network Rack Home Parts

Overview

Some parts for home use of network racks, such as an antenna top mount and a cable outlet at the bottom.

A few parts to customize network racks for home use. These include:

• Mount for three WiFi antennas on the top
• Cable management for the bottom
• Feet

The parts will probably need to be adjusted for your rack, but they can at least serve as a template for your project.

To attach the feet to the network rack, I used two-component adhesive. The link to the adhesive can be found below. The cable management consists of two parts and needs to be glued together after printing. The same goes for the antenna mounts and their base component, all of which must be glued together as well. I used a different adhesive for this than for the feet, which I will also link below. For the antenna mount, I printed the parts and then inserted extension cables into the holders and glued the closure over them. Then I screwed the antenna mount to the network rack, ran the cables through, and glued the antenna mounts to the bracket. I printed the feet with ABS and the rest with PETG.
