Allow roughly 20.5 inches of wall width and 25.5 inches of height, with 24 inches of projection out from the wall for the rack depth. The 24 inch depth is the number people miss, that determines whether a door or a hallway walkway still clears once the rack is loaded.

Use #12-24 rack screws. The rails are drilled for #12-24 panel mount holes, so #10-32 screws, the other common rack thread, will not thread properly. Order #12-24 screws with washers in the quantity your panel count needs.

Both. The uprights are aluminum with a brushed aluminum finish, and the extension brackets that carry the load into the wall are steel. That combination keeps the frame light, 20 lb bare, while the steel brackets take the mounting stress.

The SB704192524AL ships as the aluminum uprights and steel extension brackets. Wall fasteners are not part of the assembly, you specify anchors to suit the wall, concrete, block, or lag screws into blocking behind drywall. Plan the anchor rating around the 20 lb rack plus the weight of whatever equipment you are hanging on it.

A wall rack like the SB704192524AL suits a small MDF or IDF closet, a telecom backboard, or a retail or multi-family panel location where floor space is gone and you only have a few rack units of switching and patching. At 24 inches deep it takes standard 19 inch gear but does not give you the rack unit count or cable management room of a floor-standing frame. If you are landing multiple servers or deep chassis, go to a floor rack instead.

It is a brushed aluminum finish on the aluminum uprights, not a paint or powder coat color match. If you are standardizing a closet to black racks and ladder rack, this one will not match visually, worth knowing before it goes on an exposed backboard in a lobby or office.
