Should I choose a 10-inch Miniline cabinet or a 19-inch cabinet?
Choose Miniline when compact size is particularly important and the equipment you intend to use is available in the 10-inch format. It works particularly well for smaller home, SOHO and compact networking installations.
Choose 19-inch when you want the widest equipment choice, more room to work and greater scope for future expansion. The 19-inch ecosystem includes a much broader range of switches, patch panels, shelves, PDUs and specialist rack equipment.
The smaller cabinet is attractive when your requirements are genuinely small. The 19-inch cabinet is attractive when your definition of “genuinely small” has a habit of changing six months after installation.
