Cisco Catalyst 2960-C Rack Mount Bracket – 3D Printed Replacement
This is a custom-designed rack mount bracket compatible with the Cisco Catalyst 2960-C Series LL compact switch.
It functions as an alternative to the original metal rack ear, allowing you to securely mount your switch in a standard 19-inch rack.
The design includes:
Correct mounting offset for the 2960-C chassis
Reinforced structure for stability
Mounting holes compatible with standard rack screws
Internal guide slot matching the original Cisco bracket footprint
This model prints quickly, requires no supports, and is strong enough when printed in PETG or ABS.
Perfect for labs, homelabs, network racks, or replacing missing OEM rack ears.
