Product Purpose and Description
The Westell VESR-XX series of wall-mount SwingRacks of-
fers a sturdy yet light-weight and space-saving solution for
mounting equipment originally designed for 19" or 23" rack
mounting on a wall. Wall-mounting one or two Rack Unit (RU)
high equipment in the SwingRack saves valuable rack space for
other equipment, makes use of previously-vacant wall space,
and facilitates installation, maintenance, and testing proce-
dures by rotating the attached equipment down to a
comfortable, easy-access, horizontal height. The key feature of
the SwingRack is the matching set of 90_ rotating arms (rails)
which imitate and duplicate the width between the rails of a
standard 23" equipment rack. The arms, one on each side of the
SwingRack, have two positions; up or down. The down position
is used for initial equipment installation or future maintenance
and testing. The up, space-saving, locked position is used after
initial installation is complete and the mounted equipment is
placed in service. Spring-loaded latch-release knobs on the
front of each arm slide inward to free the slam-bolt latch from
the latch holes in the side walls of the SwingRack. Included are
easy-mount adapter ears which allow mounting of equipment
designed for 19" racks. Originally designed for switches and
routers, the SwingRack easily accommodates any equipment
