NetBox version

v4.1.8

Feature type

Data model extension

Triage priority

N/A

Proposed functionality

Add field for height as an outer dimension of racks. Not all racks of the same RU capacity are the same height and understanding the physical constraints when installing new equipment without having to constantly reference mfr documentation is super helpful. We already have the outer width, outer depth, and weight of a rack stored in NetBox, so it follows logically to have the outer height as well.

Use case

This dimension is useful for determining wall placement requirements for wall-mount racks/cabinets as well as cable tray height, minimum ceiling, and door opening (for transportation purposes) for floor-mounted racks/cabinets.

Database changes

Add Rack.outer_height field
Add RackType.outer_height field
