Hinged Extender Bracket Set – 2U

Hinged Extender Bracket Set — 2U (P/N 34-199952)

The 2U Hinged Rack Extender Bracket Set allows standard EIA rack or cabinet equipment to be mounted while providing a convenient swing-out hinged design for troubleshooting, maintenance, and easier installation. These brackets are commonly used in network racks, telecom cabinets, broadcast equipment racks, and data center environments where access to rear cabling and equipment is required.

Manufactured in the USA from premium 16-gauge steel, these hinged rack adapters feature a durable satin-black powder-coated finish designed for long service life in professional rack installations.

10-32 PEM nuts are installed on one side of the hinged adapters with EIA-spaced mounting slots, ensuring proper alignment for standard rack equipment.

Why These Fail

• Fixed rack mounting can make rear cable access difficult.
• Technicians often need to remove equipment entirely to troubleshoot connections.
• Low-quality hinges can flex or loosen over time.
• Improper rack extensions may cause alignment issues with EIA rack spacing.

Our Solution

• Swing-out hinged design — allows equipment to pivot outward for service access.
• Heavy-duty 16-gauge steel — supports networking and telecom equipment.
• Precision EIA rack spacing — ensures proper mounting alignment.
• Integrated PEM nuts — threaded mounting built into the bracket.
• Durable powder-coat finish — corrosion-resistant and professional appearance.
• Made in the USA — designed for professional rack installations.

Each pair of hinged adapters is boxed and includes two types of EIA-style mounting hardware:

• 8) 12-24 Black Panhead Dog-Point Phillips rack screws
• 8) 10-32 Black Panhead Dog-Point Phillips rack screws

Dimensions — Standard Rack Unit Sizes

Maintenance Tip: Multiply the rack unit size (U) by 1.75 to determine rack height in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Example: 5U × 1.75″ = 8.75″ ≈ 22.23 cm.
