Product Overview
The EtherWAN KR-BK17 19-Inch Rack Mount Kit is a black mechanical mounting accessory designed for compatible EtherWAN EX17008, EX17008A, EX17908, and EX17908A Ethernet switches. Built for installation in standard 19-inch equipment racks, this model-specific kit provides a practical solution for integrating supported switches into organized network cabinets. Its dedicated mounting configuration helps network engineers, professional AV integrators, and maintenance technicians position compatible EtherWAN equipment within rack-based infrastructure while maintaining access to network connections and service areas.
The EtherWAN KR-BK17 is a 19-inch black rack mounting kit listed in EtherWAN's official accessories documentation for four Ethernet switch series: EX17008, EX17008A, EX17908, and EX17908A. EtherWAN also identifies KR-BK17 as an optional mounting accessory in product documentation for supported EX17 Series switches. The kit provides mechanical rack installation hardware rather than an Ethernet switch, networking interfaces, electrical power supply, or PoE functionality. Published manufacturer and distributor listings establish the rack format, black color, and compatible equipment families, but do not confirm the exact bracket quantity, individual dimensions, construction material, maximum supported load, or included fastener specifications. Compatibility with other EtherWAN switches or third-party devices should not be assumed without confirmation. Coremicro supplies professional networking and installation accessories from Union City, California. EtherWAN's general warranty policy excludes spare parts and accessories from standard coverage; applicable purchase terms should be confirmed before ordering.
Standard 19-Inch Rack Mounting
The KR-BK17 provides a manufacturer-listed mounting option for compatible EtherWAN Ethernet switches in standard 19-inch equipment racks. It supports organized installation within network cabinets and professional equipment racks. Verify chassis mounting points, rack rail alignment, and fastening hardware before installation.
EX17008 Series Switch Compatibility
EtherWAN identifies the EX17008 Series as compatible with the KR-BK17 mounting kit. The accessory provides an installation option for supported switches when rack integration is required. Confirm the full equipment model and mounting-hole arrangement before selecting replacement or additional mounting hardware.
EX17008A Series Mounting Support
The EX17008A Series is included in EtherWAN's compatibility documentation for KR-BK17. The kit allows supported EX17008A switches to be considered for standard rack installations. It provides mechanical mounting hardware only and does not change the connected switch's Ethernet performance or PoE capabilities.
EX17908 Series Rack Integration
EtherWAN also lists KR-BK17 as an optional rack mounting accessory for EX17908 Series Ethernet switches. This compatibility supports installations where a matching switch must be positioned within an equipment rack. Individual chassis attachment points, cable clearance, and installation requirements should be checked before mounting.
EX17908A Series Compatibility
The EX17908A Series is the fourth compatible family identified in EtherWAN's accessories catalog. The KR-BK17 offers a dedicated rack mounting option for matching equipment, supporting integration into professional network cabinets without assuming compatibility with unrelated switch models.
Black Model-Specific Mounting Hardware
The KR-BK17 features a manufacturer-specified black finish and a dedicated accessory part number. It helps installers distinguish the required mounting hardware from other EtherWAN rack kits, including KR-BK17162 for a different switch family. Exact bracket quantity, included fasteners, and construction specifications should be confirmed before ordering.
