Open frame 2 post racks (also known as Telco racks or relay racks) and 4 post racks are one of the most cost effective ways for mounting rack-mount equipment in an IT environment. Open frame racks allow for unobstructed airflow and quick access to equipment.
Open frame racks are usually found in data closets and in large data centers. 2 post racks may need to be bolted to the floor or wall for extra support. Additional conversion kits may be necessary depending on the type of equipment installed though most networking and telephony equipment is designed without the need for extra brackets or rails.
