ASA5505 Rack Mount Kit Fd

• Sold Individually

The rack mount kit is 2u. It came with 2 brackets and a set of screws to mount 2 firewalls. Mounting the firewalls to the brackets was a quick and easy process. Once mounted on the brackets they easily slid into the rack mount unit. Ultimately that part seemed to work quite well.

However, the power brick solution was less than optimal. These firewalls ship with extremely long cables on the output side of the power brick.

There was nothing provided to contain the cables on the output side of the power brick.

For the input side of the power brick, it gets mounted in such a way that you have to unscrew the power brick retaining bracket just to disconnect the input power cable.

I would prefer the power input cable to be able to slide in and out of the power brick without unscrewing the power brick retaining bracket.

Additionally the cable guide should include a way to lock the power input cable to the power brick with a zip tie or hook and loop wrap.

If Cisco would correct these small issues related to the power bricks I would give this rack mount kit a 5.
