Stupid question, but does anyone know where I can get hold of the mounting brackets for switches? As we've had a few gone missing over the years.I've tried the manufacturers and ebay, also they aren't standard mountings across manufacturers![]()

You'd have to either speak to the manufacturer of that particular device, or speak to a fabrication company to make some for you.

I think i have some cisco ones if they are handy?

Thanks chaps
Zak - the screw holes are different on the Cisco ones and I'm using netgears, thanks anyway
I might ask the D+T chaps to see if they can knock any up, then again they can't even cut wood straight so...
How about sitting them in the cabinet on some vented shelves:

Try these FSMS400 for £17.60 from Comms Express. http://www.comms-express.com/pd1940017343.htm?defaultVariants=search0_EQ_Grey_A ND_{EOL}&categoryId=130
They do 1/2/3U varieties with different depths.
I once had some knocked up by the CDT department. Worked a treat.
I have a stock of old ones from ditched switches but only one set of Netgear ones and I'd like to keep hold of those just in case I end up in the same situation as you.

If you get stuck just use a 1U shelf.

Thin aluminimum sheet and tin snips, snip snip snip bend around the edge of a desk, drill some holes and some screws inserted into them voilla, new rack mount bracket.
