Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN KR-BK17162 Spare Rack Mount Kit is a replacement mounting accessory designed for compatible EtherWAN EX17162 Series Ethernet switches. Intended for standard 19-inch equipment rack installations, this kit provides a model-specific solution when original rack mounting hardware has been lost, damaged, or removed during equipment relocation. It helps network technicians and system integrators maintain existing EX17162 installations while supporting organized rack mounting and accessible network connections. The accessory is supplied separately from the Ethernet switch and should be selected according to the exact equipment model and mounting requirements.
The EtherWAN KR-BK17162 is a spare rack mounting kit identified for EX17162 Series Ethernet switches. The compatible EX17162 is a web-smart Ethernet switch designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting with a 1U chassis height. EtherWAN's original switch documentation identifies rack mounting hardware as included with the EX17162 package, while the separately listed KR-BK17162 serves as replacement mounting hardware for existing equipment. EtherWAN announced the EX17162's end of life effective January 18, 2022, making replacement accessories relevant to maintenance of legacy installations. The standalone spare kit does not include the Ethernet switch, PoE electronics, or electrical power components. Exact bracket quantity, material, dimensions, finish, weight, load capacity, and included fasteners have not been confirmed in available standalone accessory specifications. Compatibility with EX17162A or other similarly named switches should not be assumed without manufacturer confirmation. Coremicro supplies professional networking equipment and accessories from Union City, California. EtherWAN's general warranty policy excludes spare parts and accessories from standard coverage, so applicable purchase terms should be verified before ordering.
Dedicated EX17162 Replacement Rack Kit
The KR-BK17162 provides a manufacturer-identified replacement mounting accessory for compatible EtherWAN EX17162 Series Ethernet switches. Its specific part number helps technicians locate the intended spare hardware when original rack mounting components are missing or damaged. Verify the full switch model and existing mounting configuration before purchasing.
Standard 19-Inch Rack Installation
EtherWAN specifies standard 19-inch rack mounting for the EX17162 switch family. The KR-BK17162 spare kit is intended for this rack installation arrangement, allowing compatible equipment to be maintained inside professional network cabinets. Confirm rack rail alignment, chassis attachment points, fastening hardware, and available clearance before installation.
Replacement for Missing or Damaged Hardware
Rack mounting brackets can become damaged or separated from network equipment during relocation, maintenance, and cabinet reconfiguration. The KR-BK17162 provides a dedicated spare accessory for compatible EX17162 installations. Technicians should inspect the original mounting arrangement and confirm that the replacement package contains the required components.
Original EX17162 Includes Rack Hardware
EtherWAN's EX17162 product documentation identifies rack mounting hardware as part of the original switch package. The separately purchased KR-BK17162 is therefore primarily useful for replacement and maintenance applications rather than being an automatically required accessory for every switch. Check existing equipment before ordering additional mounting hardware.
Model-Specific Compatibility Identification
The KR-BK17162 part number is associated with the EX17162 Series in accessory listings. EtherWAN has also produced similarly named equipment, including EX17162A, but compatibility with that separate designation has not been established for this spare kit. Matching the exact chassis and mounting-hole pattern helps prevent accessory selection errors.
Passive Mechanical Mounting Accessory
The KR-BK17162 provides mechanical rack mounting hardware only. It does not include the Ethernet switch, generate PoE power, provide network ports, or perform switching functions. Its individual bracket count, materials, screw quantities, and load rating require confirmation rather than being inferred from the compatible switch's specifications.
Network Maintenance Technicians
Replace missing or damaged mounting components on compatible EX17162 switches already installed in standard equipment racks.
IT Infrastructure Teams
Maintain existing EX17162 Ethernet infrastructure and organize equipment inside network cabinets using appropriate replacement rack hardware.
Network System Integrators

What is the EtherWAN KR-BK17162 used for?
The EtherWAN KR-BK17162 is a spare rack mounting kit designed for compatible EX17162 Series Ethernet switches. It provides replacement mechanical mounting hardware for existing rack installations when original brackets or related components have been lost, damaged, or removed. The kit does not include the Ethernet switch itself.
Which EtherWAN switches are compatible with KR-BK17162?
Available accessory listings identify the EtherWAN EX17162 Series as the intended compatible equipment. Compatibility with EX17162A or other similarly named switch models has not been established for the separately sold spare kit. Verify the full device model and chassis mounting configuration before ordering.
Does the KR-BK17162 support standard 19-inch rack installation?
Yes. The compatible EX17162 switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting, and the KR-BK17162 is identified as spare rack hardware for that equipment. Successful installation depends on matching chassis attachment points, rack mounting rails, proper fasteners, and the mechanical support requirements of the complete installation.
Is rack mounting hardware already included with a new EX17162 switch?
EtherWAN's original EX17162 documentation lists rack mounting hardware among the components supplied with the switch. The separately sold KR-BK17162 is therefore primarily intended as spare or replacement mounting hardware. The EX17162 itself was discontinued in January 2022, so availability of original switch packages should not be assumed.
How many brackets and mounting screws are included in KR-BK17162?
The available standalone KR-BK17162 product listings do not confirm the exact number of brackets or included screws, washers, cage nuts, and other fasteners. Check the package contents and EX17162 installation instructions before purchasing or beginning rack mounting work.
Can the KR-BK17162 be used with the EtherWAN EX17162A?
Compatibility with EX17162A has not been confirmed for KR-BK17162. Although EX17162 and EX17162A have similar model names, this does not establish interchangeable rack mounting hardware. Contact Coremicro or EtherWAN to verify the exact chassis attachment points and accessory requirements before selecting the kit.
What warranty and support apply to the KR-BK17162 spare kit?
EtherWAN's published general warranty policy excludes spare parts, accessories, and peripherals from standard coverage. A separate warranty period has not been verified for KR-BK17162. Contact Coremicro to confirm applicable purchase terms, current availability, product compatibility, and available support for this replacement mounting accessory.
