A network shelf helps maintain network rack equipment in a secure organized way, to make sure it is efficient in space saving.

A network rack is an open frame device with two or four posts.

Network Rack vs. Server Rack

Network racks are usually used to store network equipment outside of the server itself, and they can sometimes be less deep than a server rack or cabinet. The reason is because servers require more space than a lot of networking equipment does. While servers normally have a depth of approximately 36 inches, the network rack may be shorter than 31 inches.

The use of both network and server racks at the same time is not uncommon for businesses. As network racks are built to accommodate many cables, cable management is also of greater importance in the network rack than in a server rack.
