I screw the DIN rail to a 2U blank, then mount the blank on the back side of the rack post but still facing towards the front. It only buys you the depth of the rack channel, so 3" or so. Dirt cheap.

The other thing I've done is put the DIN Rail on a sliding shelf. This is more about space efficiency....You can fit the DIN Rail, wire ducts, and lots of other nonsense on the shelf easily without tying up us as much rack space. Sliding shelves are not super cheap though....and you want a sliding one because otherwise you can't reach anything.

I do like the looks of these DIN Rack cabinets. I didn't know they made those.

This is a slick little item, a little pricey for just a din rail. Ive been looking for something to offset DIN products, like packetflux gear in our bigger enclosures where we have 18 inch deep racks, we can put the DIN on the front because the gear would hit the door, and putting it clear at the back of the enclosure would make it a bitch to get to.

Any body know of an offset I'm the 20-30 dollar price range? I'm considering just cutting sections of rack and fastening it to the back of the front rack to get a backward offset.

Another thing I'm looking for is 2-4u adjustable depth wall mount racks for our Hoffman enclosures that are 36x36x11. I have been cutting racks into 4u lengths and using the 10 billion tranzeo L brackets to set them out 6 inches, but it takes about 2 hours per rack assembly and looks like shit. plus the depth doesn't allow for the mikrotik to be rackmounted, I have shallow 10 inch shelves that I can set them on, but it makes the enclosure still sloppy

I found one 6-12 inch 2u adjustable, but it was something like 200 bucks, I cant justify 400 bucks for 4u.

any ideas?
