Anyone in the #Ottawa / #Gatineau areas want a full-height (40-something RU) 19" relay #rack, that's 10-32 threaded.

I could deliver - if sufficiently motivated.

Note a relay rack is a 2-post rack for short-depth switches, patch panels, and equipment meant to be rack-mounted from mid-points. It's not good for servers, and UPSes would need specific rails for a mid-mount.

(Eatons don't *need* them tho, the 5 & 9 series have mid-mount threading.)

Sample photo included.

And if you need network switches... I have more than I'll ever know what to do with. Super cheap to enterprise/datacentre.

@mWare Depending on the switch make/models, might be interested! My home network is currently running on a hilariously overprovisioned Brocade ICX7250-48P-2X10G 😆 ðŸĪŠ

@andrew Help me narrow it down please: PoE? Managed? 1G? 10G? 40G? Copper? SFP? SFP+? QSFP? RPS/Hot-swap PSU? Rack mount? Pocket? Desktop? What sort Port density?

I've got all flavours of Juniper from EX2200 to EX4500, several Arista DCS7050 flavours (including copper 10G), a couple Mikrotik, HP/Aruba Instant-On, a couple UniFi, a few EdgeSwitch, maybe even some Omada.

@andrew wishing I was closer!

I've currently got a meraki without a license doing poe :-(

@mWare Hah, yeah, should have been more specific; sorry about that! 😅

I'm in the market for a small (4-6 port) desktop or under-desk switch that can do 10G back to my rack (copper preferably but I have a conduit and can run something else). I run Brocade now which I'll likely never get more of, so I'm good with Mikrotik (used before for smaller things) and UniFi (though I don't have an existing setup and probably don't want to 100% migrate over to that ecosystem).

No need for PoE though I'd get it if I had the option.

Also if you have any small 1U rackmounts that are cheap and/or low-power, I have a little TP-Link taped to my rack now for complicated reasons and would love to replace that with something actually rackmount. 1G is fine, no PoE or management necessary.

@andrew Juniper EX2300, I think I have a couple, which I believe have 8-10 PoE ports and a pair of SFP+ cages. I've also got at least one US-16-XG kicking around. Finally I have some new-in-box UniFi Enterprise 8 PoE.

@andrew I've also got pre-fab/pre-terminated SC/APC cables, so you could easily pull that in to your conduit.
