I assembled a small server rack for my home Cisco lab. I've accrued a total of 8 switches/routers Cisco routers. I've never worked with a server cabinet, and have always just had the things stacked on the desk, but the stack was getting a bit high.
So...with the mounting brackets I have, it mounts to the vertical rails in the front (and I assume the back of the devices are suspended). But a couple of my switches are 1U and about 16 inches deep (front to back). I also have 3 Cisco routers that are 1U and 12 inches deep, and 3 routers that are 9 inches deep. Would cage nuts n bolts be strong enough, if the routers are attached to only the vertical rails in the front (and suspended in the back)? Or I'd need to buy horizontal rails to support the weight of the stuff?
