The project is a scaled down version of the familiar 19" rack standard, with the following size:
- 1U is 14mm
2017-03-05 08:53:01 +00:00
- The front plate is 155mm wide
- The inside distance between the two vertical profiles is 115mm
- The ears protrude 20mm

It is designed for the 20x20 extruded aluminium profile, but a profile can also be printed.
