Secure 1U Installation for Draytek Routers

This rackmount bracket is engineered specifically for Draytek’s router range, offering a precise fit that maximises space efficiency in your rack. The 1U height ensures you’re making optimal use of vertical rack space while keeping your router hardware protected from accidental knocks or environmental factors. The bracket’s robust construction provides stable mounting that won’t shift or vibrate during operation.

Front Access Maintained for Easy Maintenance

Unlike generic mounting solutions, the RM1 design preserves complete access to all front-mounted ports and controls. This means you can connect, disconnect, and configure cables without removing the router from the rack. The thoughtful engineering allows technicians to perform routine maintenance, firmware updates, or cable management tasks quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime during network servicing.

Cable Retention Prevents Accidental Power Loss

A key feature of this mounting kit is the integrated cable retainer at the rear, specifically designed to hold the power cord captive. This prevents the common problem of accidental disconnection due to cable movement, vibration, or accidental tugs. In critical network environments where uptime matters, this simple yet effective feature can prevent frustrating interruptions and potential data loss from unexpected power cycling.

Wireless Signal Considerations

For wireless-capable Draytek models, the rack environment can impact signal propagation when aerials are mounted inside. The manufacturer recommends using extension aerials or aerial extension cables (such as the ANT-BAS1) to ensure optimal wireless performance. This guidance helps you avoid the common pitfall of reduced Wi-Fi coverage when mounting wireless routers in enclosed rack spaces.
