When a rack has been filled up, removal/insertion through the rear will often be essentially impossible due to cables, vertical PDUs and stuff like that that gets in the way. Explained in pictures here: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/techblog/2019/08/06/rack-switch-removal.html If someone knows of a generic rack mount kit for data centre switches that allows for insertion/removal through the front of the rack, i.e. from/to the cold aisle, I'd be very grateful.
I've been asking manufacturers for proper server-like slide-rails for their switches for years. Now they've started making the switches as deep or even deeper than servers, but they still use the same old rack ear mounting method.
