19 Rack Cabinet for Home Server Room: Choosing between 9U and 12U, Equipment & Brands

Hello,
I have a prepared place for a rack at home. Wires from rtv, mains and cctv sockets come there. Slowly, I would like to equip them with appropriate equipment
Starting with the purchase of a 19 "rack, I would like to advise you what height and rack to buy, I range between 9U and 12U.
I want to distribute rtv (11), network (14) sockets on the strip, and also cctv cables on the appropriate strip for convenience. In general, the cabinet will have a router and switch for the network, a multiswitch for TV, a cctvv recorder and that's probably all (if I haven't forgotten something, suggestions are also welcome). Hardware rather not in a rack version due to the lower price, except for power sockets.
Do you recommend any specific manufacturers or it does not matter here and each wardrobe will be ok?
What does Getfort 9U 600x450 think?

Buddy - not the manufacturer, it is important here, only the place in the wardrobe, access from the sides, ventilation.
12U is not much - especially as the location will not allow you to approach from the sides.
Very useful for CCTV recorders,
If the ventilation noise is harmless, you can try to pack it into a smaller one, but remember that the fans get louder with age ...

Buddy Erbit - I can see that we went to the same school of life in IT, and experience is measured there with torn hands and bruises on the forehead

If you only have space, mount 15U or more.

@Erbit
I think that the first person to invent, patent and implement rubber switchgear for production will become the richest man in the world.

I cannot imagine the sides not being opened, this is the basis for me.
The wardrobe stuffed into a tight nook, which can only be accessed from the front, is a misunderstanding, not to mention ventilation ...
When I asked about the manufacturer, I meant whether the performance of such an average cabinet is satisfactory, whether the profiles do not bend under their own weight, etc., but will withstand a moderate load of equipment and cables.
I do not plan a VOIP switchboard, but a small server I forgot about it (thanks for the hint ) plus maybe small ups for the needs of the recorder (but as a last resort it can stand next to the wardrobe, because the wardrobe will be suspended relatively low above the floor)

Szfa 48U in a single-family house - yes, it's definitely crazy for me! :wink:

I guess I'll go with the 15U
When browsing the well-known auction site, I am surprised that there is such a small selection .. mainly Getfort, Lanberg, these names do not tell me anything, but the price seems to be attractive compared to Pulsar and Signal wardrobes available in other online stores

The decent quality of wardrobes is Signal (I assemble myself) and this price shelf. Many wardrobes do not have a side support frame, which makes the wardrobe sagging. I have already seen wardrobes, where the front part was tied with a string so that the wardrobe would not fall off (junk from napad.pl).

The opinion of the falling down concerns the 600X600 cabinet, maybe the 600x450 cabinets are devoid of this defect (less depth): d but it's probably wishful thinking ... the support seems to be a solution
Thanks to everyone for the answers provided. I will buy a minimum of 15U :)

Regards

Lanberg cabinets are quite shoddy, the worst thing about them is the twisting (crookedly mounted nuts, minimal differences in dimensions, no thread). They are not suitable for more things. LinkBasic, for example, is good.

Well, I used to have a similar cabinet for sale (used for disassembly, so at a good price), but I have already managed it (for ONT, patch cord guides and the PSP switchboard itself), so unfortunately I will not help. (BTW, how can you download an announcement from the classifieds forum?) With what you write here, my friend will surely find something comfortable, ergonomics is very important (access from as many pages as possible) plus ventilation and the height reserve in "U" units )
As a rule, it is good to have not only 3 U of reserve, but even a little more (even if it turns out that one or more devices mounted one above the other - it heats up a lot and it is a good idea to raise those "who are above" by 1 U for better cooling ...

So the clearance in the closet is a critical and reasonable condition at the same time
I would - for the 12 U needed from the calculation - I would prefer to have 5-6 U in stock ...
In addition, the contents of the wardrobe tends to expand over time :)

Regards

There is also a domestic producer of ZPAS - very solid welded cabinets, I've been installing them in banks for the last 30 years. One 42U 600x600 m was left (without the glass because it broke) and makes it a shelf in the garage - everything withstands, nothing bends and does not leave ...
Greetings J.

After browsing the quick catalog - I have to say that I like this ZPAS. Nice and rich accessories for cabinets, racks, etc. There is a lot to choose from and you can see the concern for the overall shape and ergonomics of the solution
It's nice that a colleague threw it.

I forgot all about them. I don't know how it is now, but three or four years ago were pretty neat.

Decent wardrobes. One of the best. However, if you count all the necessary elements, you will get a lot of money. Like LinkBasic and Signal put together.
