About Tedgetal

A rack range scoped to closets and spare rooms, not raised floors and dedicated circuits.

The Rack Range Built for Closets, Not Data Centers

Tedgetal builds 19-inch racks in one narrow lane: home networks and small-office labs, from a 1U slide-out shelf to a 20U floor rack. Nothing in the range pretends to be a data-center product. The Racks & Cabinets category runs heavy on 42U enterprise enclosures, and your spare closet is 24" deep.

One home-lab owner spent two years stacking a router, switch, and NAS on a wire shelf before mounting all three in a 9U wall cabinet. Patch cables stopped sagging into the router intake, and the install took a single evening with a stud finder and a screwdriver. Loose on that wire shelf, the same gear had no clearance around it at all.

Pick a size against the depth you measured in your own closet, not against a rack somebody else photographed. Every unit carries a 3-year limited warranty and lifetime technical support, so an emailed photo of a bent rail gets you a part rather than a shrug. Buyer ratings sit at 4.4 stars across 954 verified reviews, and the 6U open rack leads them at 4.7.

Every unit shares one mounting standard, so nothing you buy first locks you out of what you buy next. Slide a switch out of a 6U wall rack, carry it to a 20U floor rack, and the cage nuts, thread pitch, and rail spacing all still line up. That is the reason the range starts at a 1U shelf and stops at 20U rather than climbing to enterprise heights nobody fills at home.

Steel spec stays constant across the range too. SPCC cold-rolled steel goes into the entry 1U sliding shelf, not just the flagship floor rack, and the 20U frame runs 3.0mm rails under a one-piece top and bottom. Owners who report a bent rail or a short hardware bag get parts in the mail, and the 3-year limited warranty runs alongside technical support that answers email past the expiry date.

Why the Range Is Built This Way

One steel spec, one support desk, and one 19" mounting standard across every size: the reasoning behind holding all three constant.

Built to Outlast the Gear Inside It

Cold-rolled steel goes into the entry 1U shelf, not just the flagship: the 20U rack runs 3.0mm rails, the sliding shelf 16-gauge stock under a powder coat.

One Brand From First Rack to Fifth

Move a switch out of a 6U wall rack into a 20U floor rack and the cage nuts, thread pitch, and rail spacing never change on you.

Support That Outlasts the Paperwork

Technical support answers email long after the paperwork expires. Owners report a missing-caster complaint on the 20U rack answered with parts in the mail, at no charge.

Home-Lab Scale, Not Data-Center Overkill

A 42U enclosure assumes a raised floor and a dedicated circuit. Six to twelve rack units cover a home network, so that is where the range sits.
