When purchasing a Cisco Catalyst 3850, do we need to buy the rack mounting kit to install it in a standard 19" rack? 3850-RACK-KIT or C3850-4PT-KIT ? Is the 4-point kit really necessary, can the 3850 hang only on the front of the rack?

No, you don't need the C3850-4PT-KIT. 3850-RACK-KIT comes in the box and it is good enough as long as you rack it nice and tide. The reason some people use C3850-4PT-KIT is because the switch will hang from the back a little when using 3850-RACK-KIT and so if you don't like that than you want the 4PT.

What is the max rack depth when mounting the switch (C3850) using the rails C3850-4PT-KIT?
