Only if you think you need a back panel.  I use 8" wide cabinets and the
Blacet modules protrude only by about an 1" from the back of the
cabinet.  And, yes, the cabinet backs are about 6" from a wall, so no one
is getting back there.  Even my cat can't squeeze inbetween the cabinets
to get in the back of them.

If the cabinets are free-standing, this makes sense. One of my cabinets is
5 motm module size rows (25U high) by standard rack width and is bolted
with 3, 3"X1/2" lag bolts to a sturdy 'table'.  The movement of the
cabinet is barely noticable when I plug/unplug cables into/out of the top
row of modules.
