Network rack location

[Mikey]

I was thinking of putting a network rack in the loft 8/12U, but with the summer we've had this year I expect the heat would be an issue and then winter. Anyone else running a comms rack in the loft?

Pretty much all my thoughts too. I've got an alternative cupboard atm in mind, but trying to locate a wall mount open rack 8U startech rack atm.

Just sanitiy checking a stupid idea in the end.

I've got APs that I was going to put in the loft, but not doing either now.

Certainly food for thought. Kit will be 24 port POE Aruba / UniFi 16 port
Sophos XG 230 rev2 - prob won’t as idles at 30w!
Raspberry Pi x 2 via POE
Dell R220

Agreed looking at the tech operating document.
