Posted August 7, 2017 No rackmount modems that I've ever seen. I just got a couple screws and mounted it on the wall next to my gear Current Network Layout: Current Build Log/PC: Prior Build Log/PC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 7, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-1U-Rack-Shelf-Cantilever/dp/B071KW94ZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502139324&sr=8-1&keywords=1u+network+shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
