3 Clever Ways Contractors Are Using Vericom Wall Mounts

Published: April 9, 2025

Wall mounts don’t always get the spotlight, but for contractors and installers working in the real world, they can be a total lifesaver. When floor space is limited or you just need a clean, secure place to house networking gear, a good wall-mounted setup can make all the difference.

At Vericom, we work with pros across IT, AV, telecom, and low-voltage installs — and we hear one thing a lot: they need options that are flexible, easy to install, and built to last. Whether you’re mounting a single patch panel or need a fully loaded cabinet, Vericom has a wall mount solution that fits the job.

Here are three clever ways we’re seeing contractors use our wall mounts in the field — and some ideas for how you can too.

1. When Space Is Tight, VW3 & VW8 Cabinets Get The Job Done

Not every job site has a full server room to work with. Sometimes you're squeezing gear into a tight closet, hallway, or utility corner. That’s where our VW3 Series and VW8 Series Wall Mount Cabinets come in handy.

• VW3 Series: A fixed cabinet built for clean installs, with a lockable, reversible front door, removable side panels, and a rear panel for in-wall cable entry. Supports up to 132 lbs and comes flat-packed in 9U, 12U, and 15U sizes.
• VW8 Series: A compact, flat-packed cabinet that’s easy to assemble and ideal for smaller installs. Available in 6U, 9U, and 12U sizes with a locking, reversible front door (tempered glass or steel mesh). Supports up to 132 lbs.

Where they fit: Small offices, retail, classrooms — anywhere floor space is tight and gear still needs a solid home.

2. Need Rear Access? The VW1 Series Has Your Back (Literally)

Ever try to troubleshoot gear in a cabinet that’s flat against the wall? Yeah — not ideal. That’s why installers love our VW1 Series Swing-Out Cabinets. The rear section swings out 90 degrees from either side, giving you full access to the back of your equipment.

• Available in 9U, 12U, and 15U sizes
• Supports up to 100 lbs of standard 19" gear
• Lockable, removable and reversible acrylic front door
• Rear section swings out 90° or detaches completely for bench-mounting
• Includes adjustable rails, multiple cable entry points, and built-in lace points
• Ships flat-packed for easy transport and fast on-site setup

Where they fit: Network closets, AV builds, or security installs where you’ll need to get back in there from time to time.

3. Keep It Simple: VW5 Racks and VB2 Brackets

Not every job calls for a full cabinet. If you’re in a secure space or just need quick access, our VW5 Series Open Frame Racks and VB2 Series Vertical Brackets are quick to mount and get the job done without taking up much space.

• VW5 Racks: Available in 8U, 15U, and 30U sizes, these open frame racks offer 18" of depth, printed RU markings, and support up to 150 lbs of gear. Great for setups that don’t need a locking door.
• VB2 Brackets: These come in 2U, 4U, and 6U sizes and mount gear vertically and flush to the wall — ideal for tight spaces. With cage hole mounting and in-wall cable access, they’re simple, sturdy, and super space-efficient.

Where they fit: Utility rooms, warehouse walls, smart home hubs — anywhere you want clean cable routing and quick equipment access without the bulk.

Bonus Tip: The VW4 Series Is Built for Bigger Jobs

If you’re working on a larger network build and need something tougher than the average wall cabinet, the VW4 Series is where it’s at. With a fully welded 14-gauge steel frame and a swing-out design, this cabinet is built to handle heavier loads and give you easy access when you need it.

• Available in 12U, 18U, and 25U sizes
• Supports up to 350 lbs of gear
• Swing-out design with heavy-duty hinges and latches
• Comes standard with a steel frame & acrylic window front door (mesh door also available)
• Packed with installer-friendly features like swing-out access, 12-24 tapped rails, and built-in cable management options

Where it fits: Enterprise networks, high-end AV rooms, or any install that calls for both strength and flexibility.
