A 19-inch rack is still the standard (internal) enclosure width for mounting server and network equipment. The 42U x 24″ Wide by 42″ deep used to be the benchmark but the 45U, 47U and 48U tend to be the standard heights depending on region. In 2014, over 50% of our rack sales were racks taller than 50U.
