The Uctronics Pi Rack (‘Ultimate Rack’) is a 1U 19′ feature-packed Raspberry Pi rackmount solution with PoE, OLED displays, LED power switches, cooling fans and full frontal port rerouting!

The kit includes everything you need to run 4 Raspberry Pis in the rack, including the rack itself along with 4x PoE HATs, 4x OLEDs, 4x LED power pushbuttons and 4x HDMI rerouting boards.

The Pi Rack comes as a kit of parts and will require assembly (please see the user manual for details).
