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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- GEO FACTS --\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"cm-intro\" id=\"cm-geo-facts\"\u003e\n    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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- HERO IMAGE --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"cm-hero\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/EtherWan-KR-BK17162.webp?v=1792947392\u0026amp;width=1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/EtherWan-KR-BK17162.webp?v=1792947392\u0026amp;width=700 700w, https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/EtherWan-KR-BK17162.webp?v=1792947392\u0026amp;width=1000 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/EtherWan-KR-BK17162.webp?v=1792947392\u0026amp;width=1400 1400w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1440px) 1416px, 100vw\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"EtherWAN KR-BK17162 spare 19-inch rack mounting kit for EX17162 Ethernet switches\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- KEY FEATURES --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"cm-section-label__bar\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"cm-section-label__text\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"cm-feature-grid cm-feature-grid--2col\"\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"cm-feature-box\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"cm-feature-box__icon\"\u003e🔧\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003ch3 class=\"cm-feature-box__title\"\u003eDedicated EX17162 Replacement Rack Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"cm-feature-box__text\"\u003e\n        The KR-BK17162 provides a manufacturer-identified replacement mounting accessory for compatible EtherWAN EX17162 Series Ethernet switches.

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.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhich EtherWAN switches are compatible with KR-BK17162?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n        \u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\n          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.

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.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eIs rack mounting hardware already included with a new EX17162 switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n        \u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\n          EtherWAN's original EX17162 documentation lists rack mounting hardware among the components supplied with the switch.
