Single RB5009 rack mount options?

Sun May 07, 2023 12:38 pm

Are there options to neatly rack mount 1 RB5009, not 4 of them?

Take a close look at the capabilities of the K-79

RB5009 rackmount kit K-79 can be used to mount one or two units in rack. With single RB5009 it doesn't look as smartly as with two (or four), but I guess it wouldn't be too bad either:

Good enough, but looks like a child could punch away the mount.

It indeed looks that way. But perhaps it's sturdy enough when everything is fastened (device and rack). My guess is that with single device mounted, it would be sturdier with device in "upper floor".

I can confirn it's sturdy. I wouldn't go out of my way to stress it but it's not going to break with expected wear and tear. The metal is not flimsy. Two of them makes it much more solid but one works well enough. Otherwise I guess you could design your own and 3d print them maybe.

It barely fits in the bolts of the mikrotik rack. I had to use force in order to bolt it down. The adaptors would need to be 2-3 mm longer.

I've no idea what you're talking about. I have the Mikrotik rack and had no problem whatsoever. This sounds like yet another instance of someone claiming the Mikrotik product doesn't work when it's probably an end user issue. Maybe your posts are not straight.

Come have a look. And maybe you combine with a nice trip to the Netherlands.
