TRENDNet Rack Mount Kit, Compatible with TEG-S16Dg and TEG-S24Dg Switches, Mount an 11 Inch Wide Switch to A 19 Inch Equipment Rack, Mounting Brackets and Mounting Screws Included, Black, ETH-11MK

Okay, this is a basic item. It is two pieces of bent metal, six holes in each, and 8 little screws. So why 5 stars?I'm not debating the price or whether or not it should be included with the switch. You can judge the price for yourself, and if you wanted it included with the switch you can just order the TEG-S24G which includes these brackets. I ordered the TEG-S24DG 24-port switch and these brackets because it was about $20 less than buying the rack mount version for the identical product.So, these brackets do have beveled screw holes, so when you screw them into the switch they self center and line up perfectly. Just screw them in loosely until you have all 4 in (per side) and then tighten.They are sturdy, they look good, the finish matches the switch, and they'll work on other products too, although the finish might not match. Simple, sturdy, and as attractive as a rack ear can be. Five stars, as they were essentially free (over buying the rack version) and work as advertised.

I have read other reviews about the price for these adapters being pretty high for "just some bent pieces of metal" and I suppose it may be. But I found these brackets to be high quality. They are strong and sturdy, painted with a thick and (what appears to be) durable paint and the dimensions and the mounting holes are all perfectly aligned. Sure, I could have made something similar in my workshop, but would the mounting holes have all perfectly aligned and would the dimensions have been exact? Probably not - and my personal time is worth more than the price of these adapters. Go ahead and spend the extra couple of bucks to get these and mount your switch in a 19 inch rack. The price is worth the time savings and the aesthetics of a professionally made set of brackets.

Works with my D-Link 11 inch wide switches! Match to factory!

I'm sorry to TrendNET. I just can't give these 5 stars. They are just a basic bent piece of metal with some holes drilled it them some finish applied, and 8 tiny screws..The reasons it earned 4 stars...#1. The holes etc... are where they should be. No rude surprises, everything lines up.#2. The finish is dead on fine. No big noticeable flaws.#3. The metal is of sufficient strength to support the switch fully populated with cable.#4. The holes to mount it to the switch line up in the normal rack configuration, I can also turn the ears 90 degrees to wall mount, or 180 degrees to push the front of the switch proud of the rack if I want to. This mounting flexibility means I have mounting options even if I don't have a rack.#5. The holes to mount it to the rack are exactly where they belong, sized to accept standard rack screw sizes, including M6, and 10-32 hardware.#6. The screw holes are slightly elongated to accomodate manufacturing variances among rack vendors. Some rack mount tabs are not so slotted, and I have in the past (old Netgear) had to elongate the screw holes to accomodate particularly APC Shark Racks.The reasons I cannot give this 5 stars is because.#1. They are so stinking basic a 12 year old in Jr. High shop class could get these right.#2. They should have been included in the package with the switch in the first place. It IS annoying that I have to pay extra for the rack mount hardware for something designed to be, well rack mountable. Yes I know a LOT of switch MFGs are doing that now, and TrendNET is a lower cost MFG, but this is just an annoying corner to cut... I have used switches and rack / desktop mountable network devices from Netgear, SMC, TP-Link and they all included the rack mount kit. No clue why TrendNET decided to leave them out of the switch packaging.

Did exactly what I needed them to do, made a no rack mount a rack mountable unit

This is a great solution for the Trendnet Switch that needs to be in a rack mount environment. It fits nicely and comes with the needed hardware to attach to the switch and mount to the rack. a little expensive for what it is but off amazon the shipping cost and product price i was able to find was outrageous. nothing special in capabilities but does the job to rack mount nicely.

Nice touch throwing the trash in with the product. I suppose that helps Amazon save on waste removal costs.Product was double wrapped in plastic, each individual piece. Small box was taped on both ends. No chance of any of the 10 pieces being lost... except during unpacking.Fits, works, easy to install unless you drop a screw during unpacking.

This worked perfect for my 24 port gigabit dlink switch. The holes lined up perfect. It came with screws to mount it to the switch but not to the rack, just keep that in mine. It also only worked with 1 screw on each side to mount it to the rack, the screw spacing was a little short for the second screw. It wasn't a big deal as it's a pretty light switch.
