Complete 254.0 mm panel width, 236.5 mm mounting hole center-to-center, and 222.2 mm rail opening specs for DeskPi RackMate and 10-inch homelab mini racks.
1. Exact 10-Inch Mini-Rack Mechanical Dimensions
Popularized by DeskPi RackMate (T0, T1, T2, TT) and Jeff Geerling’s Project Mini Rack, the 10-inch mini-rack standard uses the same 44.45 mm (1.75 in) 1U vertical pitch as 19-inch racks, scaled to a 254.0 mm (10.00 in) total faceplate width.
Mounting rail holes sit at 236.525 mm (9.312 in) center-to-center, leaving 222.2 mm of usable opening between the vertical rails. That 222.2 mm opening comfortably fits one 1L Mini-PC (179.4 mm Lenovo Tiny, 182.4 mm Dell Micro, or 177.4 mm HP Mini) plus 2 snap-in RJ45 keystone jacks in 1U, or one Apple Mac mini M6/M4 (127.5 mm) alongside a JetKVM console (60.4 mm) and 2 keystones in 1.5U.
