Abstract

A rack for mounting communication apparatuses or similar electronic apparatuses. The rack has a pair of posts symmetrical to each other in the right-and-left direction and each having a section in the form of a letter C. The posts are positioned such that the open side of "C" faces outward. A shelf included in an electronic apparatus is mounted to the posts. The posts are tied to each other by a top frame at upper ends and affixed to a base at lower ends. A generally L-shaped reinforcing member is connected to the lower portion of each post such that the longer side of "L" is parallel to the closed side of "C" representing the post, thereby providing the lower portion of the post with a hollow rectangular section. The reinforcing member is not connected to the base.
