StarTech RK4OD — 4U Desktop Open‑Frame Rack (2‑Post, Free‑Standing, 19" EIA‑310)
StarTech RK4OD — 4U Desktop Open‑Frame Rack (2‑Post, Free‑Standing, 19" EIA‑310)
The RK4OD is the right call when you need organized rack space without committing to a full cabinet — four rack units on any desk or shelf, open-frame for easy access and airflow, with the same 19-inch EIA-310 compatibility as a floor-standing rack at a fraction of the footprint.
The StarTech RK4OD is a 4U free-standing, open-frame desktop rack designed for compact IT, AV, studio, and home-office deployments. With a 2-post design, 12-inch depth, and heavy-duty steel frame, this rack provides a stable, accessible platform for small switches, patch panels, audio gear, and lightweight rackmount equipment.
Its compact footprint makes it ideal for desks, shelves, counters, and workbenches — anywhere a full-size rack is unnecessary. The open-frame layout ensures excellent airflow, easy cable routing, and fast access for service and reconfiguration.
