What is a 12U server rack?

The “U” is a standard measuring unit for rack mount type equipment. 1U is equal to 1.75” in height. So, a 12U server rack would have 21” (12 x 1.75”) of usable space. The 8U server rack, also common for home use, would have 14” (8 x 1.75”) of internal space commonly called a desktop server rack. This type of heavy-duty equipment rack cabinet for home use will help secure your equipment and provide years of service in nearly any environment.
