You could buy a rack shelf and put your existing one on it. :P:D

That is kind of my last resort if I can't find anything. 

Is your ISP providing you with ADSL or Cable?

Cable

I don't think there is such thing. :/ Sorry. :(

 

The only "actual" Rackmount routers that Do support Cable are Cisco Enterprise. They can cost a fortune and you need to understand how to set up it.

Thought is was worth a shot. Justifies buying a networking rack a bit more if you can put more than just a switch into it.

I've seen this exact question asked over and over. Someone should really make such a thing, or at least a rack kit to rack mount an exisiting popular cable modem. Not to mention, cable modems are all pretty ugly. A couple router/modem combos are okay looking but its really a product line that is lacking.

 

Seems unneccesary and pointless to see so many nice home server racks where all the other gear and servers are so neatly mounted and everyone is forced to just plop some ugly modem on the top shelf.

Thats because the average user doesnt have a networking rack at home. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I just moved into a new house and I am looking to have a proper network closet. Does anyone know of a rackmount modem that works with Comcast?  

I mean you could totally just get one of these and sit your modem on it, keeps it neat and in the rack I suppose?

It's a for a DSL Fritzbox i think. But if the boxes are the same size, it should be possible to just insert the cable-wire from the side.

Not even close to a good looking solution, but might be better than just having it sit on a shelf.
