It's been a while since I have not published the upgrades I made on my homelab during the past few years.
I already had a 10 inch wall cabinet for my broadband setup but I had a 6U cabinet and it was too small to accommodate all my gear so I changed for a 9U version.
10 inch cabinet

Not shown but between this cabinet (in my office) and my server cabinet (in my basement), there's a UniFi USW Pro HD 24 PoE switch installed in the boiler room, also with an APC Back-UPS BX Series BX500MI. Connection between the office and the boiler room is done with 2x10G Cat6 cables, and with 2xOM3 patch cables between the boiler room and the basement.
