Hi community,
I'm a bit confused...
I recently got a CBS350-24P-4X 1U managed switch, which comes with a wall-mount/rack-mount (I guess?) kit and I'm wondering, how I could manage to install this kit onto the device in order to align the rackmount-ears to the device's front?
The drilled screw holes would only allow a ~1 inch (2.5 cm) disalignment towards the rack front or am I missing here something?!
Please give me some advice,
Flo

Hey Rob, thank you for the info. If they can ship via post office (or please let me know shipping options), I'd be in for two pair! No rush.

Just to add to the 'WTF Cisco' chorus- I've got a pair of CBS350's in a 600mm x 600mm data cabinet in a recording studio.
We do not need enterprise sized racks and this 1" recess for the rack ears means it is impossible to get it all racked with both front and rear doors closed when using copper SFP's, which we need to use.
The doors *must* remain closed because fans = noise and noise = bad recordings.
So I currently have the switches attached to a 1u tray with cable ties until I can get a fabricator to make me some rack ears.
Seriously unimpressed.
Whoever decided this was a good idea is, quite frankly, an idiot.

Hello everyone, I've attached a Zip file of the AutoCAD DXF for the brackets we had fabricated in Melbourne. The details of the brackets are also below:
-LASER CUT OUT OF 2MM MILD STEEL SHEET WITH NITROGEN
-FOLDED 90 DEG ON BEND MARKS @ 20 MM
-POWDER COATED DULUX NEW BRITE WHITE GLOSS
With this information, most metal fabricators should be able to manufacture these to suit the CBS switches.
Hope this helps.

I am looking for rack mounts that will allow the CBS350-24P-4X to be recessed in the bay. Mounted so the ports are pointing out, but back a few inches. The rack "ears" that came with mine allow this but with only one screw and my switches sag a bit now.

Look at that, Cisco finally got sick of us... Got 2 switches (8P-E-2G and 8FP-E-2G) from distribution. The upper one from 2022 is the old design, the lower one is from 2023 and has the "normal" rack alignment like we all know it since anytime...
So if you want to have it this way you should have a look for revision V05. Micro USB on the left side is gone in V05, too.

Any idea how to get those brackets from revision V05 (since Cisco now realized it was a bad idea)?

The one in Amazon is for 24P & 48P. I'm looking for the 8/16P flushed brackets

Are these brackets available yet? I just bought a CBS250-48P-4X that needs to be flush mounted (the rack door won't close otherwise, at least not with any cables/SFPs plugged in). I tried searching for "RCKMNT-1RU-1K=", but didn't get any hits.

Is there a resolution for this instead of getting them custom-made? We need it to sit flush otherwise the rack door will not close.
I contacted the vendor who sold them and the reply was "You get with Cisco send you" so no help there.
Is there an escalation route I can take with cisco to get these rack mounts? Every help page takes me to another page and I eventually just end up in here. I know they do exist as I have 1 pair sitting in front of me! I bought multiple cisco 350 switches and 1 of them came with the correct pair! See attached the correct bracket that was sent with 1 of the switches.
I am UK based.

Part number seems to be 700-131287-01, but I still can't seem to find these for purchase anywhere. Can we buy these if we contact Cisco directly? Here's a photo from a message that was posted earlier and mysteriously deleted.
I made my own flush mount rack ears by drilling some holes in some generic rack ears with a drill press, but a) my skills are not great so the alignment isn't perfect, and b) I'm worried about airflow since my homemade ears don't have any extra holes for airflow and I'm using these on a POE switch.

Just unboxed a CBS350-48P-4G in the US, still comes with the short brackets that make the front of the switch protrude about an inch past the rack posts.
When is this going to get fixed Cisco?
