11). The chassis installs in many types of racks, including 800-mm deep (or larger) enclosed

cabinets, standard 19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks. Two types of chassis are available

for the MX960 router:

The standard chassis measures 27.75 in. (70.49 cm) high, 17.37 in. (44.11 cm) wide (excluding the

mounting flanges and brackets), and 23.0 in. (58.42 cm) deep (from the front-mounting flanges to the

rear of the chassis). The standard cable manager extends the depth to 28.0 in. (71.1 cm). Up to three

routers can be installed in a 48-U rack if the rack can handle their combined weight, which can be greater

than 1,050 lb (476.3 kg).

The chassis depth with the high-capacity AC power supply is 30.6" and the depth

with high-capacity DC power supply is 32.8".
