Just for clarification here, there are three "standard" size racks.
The most common are 19" for data center type stuff and 23" for
telco stuff. Some 23" telco racks have even hole spacing which
is not compatible with EIA 1.75" per U hole spacing. Then there
are 24" racks which are for certain types of data center type
equipment. I personally have no idea what but probably a tape loader
bot. Note that these dimensions (19", 23", etc) are not the total
width of the rack, but the center to center dimension of the mounting
holes plus 5/8" or so.
