I understand that there are standards for the width of an EIA rack,
as well as bolthole size and spacing on the rails, but is there any
sort of standard for *depth* of an EIA rack?
The one I have measures 28 3/4" front rail to rear rail, which I
suspect is deeper than usual.
Cheers,
Chuck

Hehe. I ran into that one too. No, there really isn't.
There are a lot of depths that appear more than once,
but not really a "standard" that I could find. Hence,
many rails are adjustable. Of course, I've run into
some (like the brackets for a BA23) that aren't very
adjustable. I have a couple cabinets where the rear
uprights are adjustable too.

I ran into that on my previous job - "standard" rails in a heavy telco
environment. We had enclosed racks as well as relay racks, but the
enclosed racks weren't mechanically compatible with some semi-modern
server gear - we had to used extenders on the rails, _and_ a sawsall
on the front rack posts.
I really miss the "old" days working with DEC equipment in DEC racks -
it fit well most of the time. This new stuff doesn't fit so well in
older racks.

Nope.
