Start building your custom rack-mount solution today with our expert 6U Chassis drawing. This free CAD file provides the complete design and dimensions for a standard 19-inch rack-mountable enclosure with 6U of vertical space. The “6U” designation refers to 6 Rack Units, which translates to $10.5$ inches ($266.7$ mm) of usable vertical height, making it a highly versatile size for complex projects.
This design is the perfect starting point for housing custom server hardware, network switching gear, professional audio equipment, or bespoke industrial control systems.
Our 6U chassis blueprint details all critical dimensions, mounting hole locations, and ventilation patterns required for professional fabrication. Instead of starting from scratch and risking costly measurement errors, you can use our proven design to ensure your components fit perfectly and your equipment mounts securely into any standard 19-inch server rack. This download is ideal for engineers, IT professionals, and electronics hobbyists who need a robust and reliable enclosure for their custom projects.
