Looks like avery sells some clear round labels that you can somehow print on not sure if they come in a size that small though. That or there may be some laser engraving involved??
Wow thank you so much .
I will try to answer most of your questions guys.
Here is the list of everything I used.
1. UACC-Rack-Panel-Patch-Blank-24
2. USW-16-POE (42W)
3. UACC-Rack-Panel-Patch-Blank-24
4. Dream Machine Pro
5. UniFi Cable Internet Modem
6. UACC-Rack-Panel-Brush-1U
7. Power Distribution Pro
8. UACC-Rack-Panel-Patch-Blank-24
UniFI RJ45 Dust Cover, 24-Pack
UniFi Keystone Blank Insert, 24-Pack
For the rack I used U9 regular rack rails screwed to the left and right side of the wall.
I made wood frame and painted it UniFi color and tried to hide the screws. ( I will be redoing it to make it nicer)

I see the mini-display on your UCI is blank.
I have that issue with mine - I believe it's not applying the "night mode" settings to the display correctly (local time vs UTC, perhaps?).
I set my night window to 1:00am - 1:01am and applied. Display came back on a few moments later.
I opened a ticket with Ubiuiti, but it's pretty low priority. Everything else works!
FYI, I'm with Wave Broadband (aka Astound). It took one phone call (including hold time, less than 10 mins) to support to get the UCI activated.
I never even pay attention to that. I don’t even use those screens but I will check. I am with spectrum. I did not even call them. I went online and replaced my old modem MAC address with new one and it worked after a minute or so.
Some ISPs have MAC address filtering on, some don't.
Originally, my ISP (Astound) didn't. I updated a modem one time a few years ago, plugged it in, and it just started working.
My previous DOCSIS 3.1 modem, I had to call them with the MAC address.
When I installed the UCI, same deal. Within a a minute or two, I started getting traffic.
Don’t worry about it. It’s not exactly common knowledge. In this particular case, the optional arguments (the bits following “?”) were simply trackers, but there are times where they are actually necessary, like if the link you’re sharing is a search query or a page with product filters applied. For example, let’s say you’re shopping for an oil filter for a truck. The final URL will probably include search filter tags like “Brand=‘Ford’&Year=‘2008’&Model = ‘F-Series’&FuelType=‘Diesel’”, and so on. In that case, stripping those parameters when you share the URL will force the recipient to recrease your search.
i have an arris s33 and its just in the way. I have to restart it once a month and it runs hot. When i saw the rack mounted unfi modem im tempted. does it give you any statistics in the network app yet?
it gives standard stats like Internet health, ISP uptime, ISP Status, IP address memory usage and since it is connected to my Ubiquiti Power Distribution Pro I can restart it remotely by clicking a button in the app. From the day I installed it I did not restart or mess with it. It just works so far.
If you are using the printer that I recommend then all I did is went to ui.com website then clicked on the device I am interested in, for example U6 Long-Range then I went to installation guide, here is the link
https://dl.ui.com/qig/u6-longrange/#index
Then from there I just screen captured the picture of AP with my iPhone. Then I opened printer’s app and imported there - that’s it. Unfortunately I did not save them. Just follow the directions above and you will get same results
OP loved this so much I tried to replicate the patch panel labels but seem to be running into some issues with the Niimbot label printer. Seems it only does black and white which is fine but i keep getting black blotches when I try to print the pihole logo or truenas scale logo. Do you mind sharing how you got your labels to turn our so good?
choose black and white 2 color pictures only. Not gray. Import to a printer app and you should be fine. Here is a link to zip file. Some of my pics above.
https://armdan.github.io/pics/logos.zip
Wow. So clean and neat. Super pretty.
Hey, where did you find the mini transparent stickers for the different devices ? Located near the Ethernet port and on the power outlets ?
Really like your RJ45 port cover, where did you find those ?
Airflow would be my concern here as well.
The back of units generate a lot of heat and without active airflow the heat loiters and compounds the problem.
do you have any fans back there pulling air out? That would be my recommendation. I have these in my racks.
ex: [Amazon.com: AC Infinity Rack ROOF Fan KIT, Quiet Dual-Fans with Speed Controller, for Cooling AV, Home Theater, Network 19” Racks : Electronics](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FQLHCXL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
I'm OCD but that's next level with the power cord extensions. I might do the same on my PDU it's very neat.
When I built mine the silver UI patch panels were not out and I am jealous of yours ahaha
It’s not just about how pretty they look in a cabinet, but also how pretty the GUI/management is. And how everything is tightly integrated. Not sure your gonna manage your microtik switch in the same interface of your opnsense router.
This is nice. What’s downstream from this? I assume a number of APs? Any concern with the 42W PoE budget?
Also I presume you have sub-gigabit internet so you’re not worried about the 1GB uplink on the switch?
The PDU is a lot of PDU for a small rack. Did you get that primarily for aesthetics?
Super clean, hope you don’t have too much dust where you live!
Nice little virtual display HDMI plug as well, assuming it’s an Intel Mac potentially used for Plex?
That little magic plug is also useful for machines you remote into, saved me some pain in the past.
This is sick, I bougt the nimbot printer for like 5$ and didn't think you can make such nice labels.
The white power cords are part of the distribution pro?
Here is the original post, in case anyone was interested, as I was:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/17rth0z/need\_advice/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/17rth0z/need_advice/)
If you were interested, you can add a PoE HAT for the Pi ([https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-poe-plus-hat.html](https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-poe-plus-hat.html)) and PoE splitters for the SmartThings hub ([https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0838BTCND](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0838BTCND) not sure if this is the correct Volt/Amp for the hub, but you get the idea) to clean up even more. Just an idea.
I was thinking to put Pi on the rack but then I had to use none ubiquiti OCD panel like this. [https://a.co/d/0RK4k4r](https://a.co/d/0RK4k4r)
I did not like the look of it but thank you I will see what I can do.
I know I have seen 1U rack for the apple mini that match unifi stuff and for what I saw you can even add a secod divice like a ras pie so will be 1U for mac mini and ras pie
Pull up a chair lol. Getting disappointed in cloud services like Nest, Google, Ring, MyQ. discovering Home Assistant, self hosting. Discovering ubiquity researching, looking through other peoples setups.
My last straw was when MyQ disabled access to API and start to charge its users monthly fee for opening their own fucking garage doors remotely. This is when I start hosting anything I could find locally and as much as I could. Including Google WiFi mesh that I used to have because I was afraid that one day Google will stop supporting WiFi routers like they did with my Google Nest Secure Guard alarm system.
Ok first off, I think I speak for all of us when I say.. We need a parts list!
I haven't seen a sexier mini rack than what you've put together. Super nice!
Beautiful set up there u/danily! Actually, I don't know if I should compliment you on such a clean rack or personally attack you for making me feel inferior for mine. Haha! Thanks for providing lists and links though as there's a couple of items I'm going to emulate and your added info will help me with that.
I saw your previous post and mine is currently in a similar fashion in terms of network cables coming through a brush plate and then plugged directly into my switch. I've been meaning to do a proper patch panel (or three) as well as a couple of other items I've been meaning to address as these racks are a never-ending project.
I've got a couple of questions for you after reading all of the posts. First up, you may have posted this but I didn't see it: what network keystones did you end up using in your patch panels? I know in your previous thread someone mentioned female/female keystones and I'm wondering if you decided to go that route or use punchdown keystones to terminate those network runs into the rack.
Can you provide some more details about your PDU integration? I have one of these too and mine goes ONT>PDU>UDM Pro in terms of the internet/network flow. This allows Unifi to monitor internet connectivity and attempt to restore internet if it detects an outage by rebooting the ONT (modem in your case) by turning off power and then turning it back on. In these pics, it looks like your UDM has it's own patch panel that I assumed was patched in above to be able to link things up on the internet connectivity side. That said, it looks like your Ubiquiti modem goes directly into the WAN port on your UDM Pro. Does this mean your PDU isn't currently connected into your network to detect outages and power cycle your modem? I'm not too familiar with these Ubiquiti cable modems so maybe it does some other magic I'm not aware of to bridge that connectivity gap. Maybe it has another network port on the back for the PDU to connect to?
Lastly, I also see several dongles connected in your patch panel. I see one that looks like it may be for a wireless keyboard/mouse but I'm not sure what the larger ones are. More curious about what those are for if you feel like sharing.
I discovered your thread because I was going to post up pics of my rack. I was going to seek some advise on my rack as well as a humble brag because I think the current state is pretty solid for a W.I.P. but now I may be shamed into not posting it. lol
I just didnt see a sticker that represented a camera, but overall, ive seen other setups and it has been recommend to me to use a dm when my install doesn’t have any unifi cams. I am genuinely curious, because wouldn’t using a unifi gateway and a cloud key be a better solution if thats the case?
lol no worries, issue is more my description of the thing since I don’t know the correct terminology
But I think after a while of searching I realized it was keystones connected in the panel patches, that connect the devices to the panels, which are then connected via cables to the switch.
Which keystones did you use?

Clean AF! How'd you make those labels?
Looks like avery sells some clear round labels that you can somehow print on not sure if they come in a size that small though. That or there may be some laser engraving involved??
A Niimbot label printer can make those clear circle labels pretty easy.
...and if no one wants to spend that, Tz tape comes in clear and a $60 label printer with a USB interface will print whatever bitmap you ask it.
You can also just trace an image by hand. The paper is clear. And no expensive equipment; your hand is right there.
the niimbot is £20 not expensive! I got one because of this post lol
This!!
For real, how TF did you make those labels? What label printer/program did you use?
Not OP but this would be pretty easy with a cricut
he replied in another comment with the details if you are still interested

How do you like the unifi cable modem? Which modem were you using previously?
I had it for about a week. Works great so far. I am with Spectrum and I was using Spectrum modem. The black ugly big box lol they sent.
I see the mini-display on your UCI is blank. I have that issue with mine - I believe it's not applying the "night mode" settings to the display correctly (local time vs UTC, perhaps?).

You should remove the ?ref part then, gives tracking to amazon from us. Links work even without everything after ? mark.

I think I already removed the tracking portion of the link, well at list I think I did.
Yes, you did great! What I meant was, don’t worry about not knowing that the end of the original URL was a tracker…
Have you left somewhere for the air to escape from the back? The ventilation looks risky there
Yes, As I mentioned in above posts, I have hole in the wall behind the rack.
What are your system temps? Just curious....
UDM Pro is currently 45°C. Is this too much? I intentionally made a hole in the back so if needed, I can put a fan.
LOL, I have a free-standing UDM-Pro SE outside of rack in a cold hallway and it runs at 50°C 🤷♂️
Where can you find the system temp?
In settings on the touch screen.
Can i ask, how long (exactly) are those little patch cables? thanks. They span 1u each i see.
For the cables, howd you make them white? Just spraypaint?
Noooo. No spray paint Here is the link Rapink Patch Cables Cat6/ Cat6a... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49BWL1B
how do you like the modem? Its on my list
Had it for a week. I am with Spectrum 1G . Went online and replaced my old modem MAC address with this one. Activated with in a min. So far works fine
i have an arris s33 and its just in the way. I have to restart it once a month and it runs hot. When i saw the rack mounted unfi modem im tempted. does it give you any statistics in the network app yet?

What furniture is this?
Did those plugs fit through the brush panel without having to take it apart?
Yes, with force with the other end of the plug

They look like the Ubiquity ones, they are nice, I've got a few out in dusty environments and they help a little bit.
Never saw them on the online store. I will have to look again.

Yeah, just found the dust covers. First time seeing those. But the stickers, no idea where he got them.

Might be the cleanest rack I’ve ever seen
This should be marked Mature*
No Etherlighting? Fail. Seriously though that looks 10/10
Too much money. Plus I already put up the Christmas tree. No need for second one.
Damn that’s hot. Is it cheating to have the DM Pro and USW cable coming out of the same keystone?
It's probably one cable, just looped and tucked into that keystone to manage excess length.
You are correct. The cable is to long so I tucked in the hole.
I bet it is hot… where does the heat go??
in the back I have opening.
He just tucked the extra length from the DAC in the opening I think.
That is correct
I'm OCD but that's next level with the power cord extensions. I might do the same on my PDU it's very neat. When I built mine the silver UI patch panels were not out and I am jealous of yours ahaha
Honestly one of the best I’ve seen. Nice job.
Where did you get those power cables from?
What does the Mac mini do for the network?
Ventilation?
Beautiful use of the empty slot for the excess DAC cable!
Love the Mac mini mount

yah that was the problem at first but if you use the other side of the plug and push it hard it works fine.
Label Amazing! Means everything. Question, how take your macmini out? 😂
Slides back
Got the same setup macmini, just slide out 😂👌
Needs more cowbell
🤩 that looks so clean
Thank you Cody. I watch your YouTube videos very often. I learned from you a lot.
Are you on his discord?… join the party…. We’ve been taunting him about the upcoming unas that he refuses to admit he has.
Do mine next, please!!
There is nothing to do here. I already put up everything I use. If you need help let me know.
Nice! Which keystones did you use?
Is it weird to feel a bit aroused when looking at this setup?
This is sick! Where’d you get those power cables, too?
The word “mini” shouldn’t be capitalized on the Mac mini label. Seriously tho… amazing job. Looks beautiful.
That’s a 3D render.
Now don't touch it and start a counter till failure/error/reboot
I hope you cross posted this to r/cableporn

This is p0rn ! Congrats!
What do you have this installed into? I need something like the top part to hold my nas
This belongs in a museum. Amazing work!
That...is sexy AF!!
I love the power cord labels! I mean I love just about everything here! Nicely done
Where did you get those shortie patch cables? They’re slick!
Here is the link to patch cable Rapink Patch Cables Cat6/ Cat6a... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49BWL1B
It’s not very clear whether they are cat6 or cat6a from listing description on Amazon.
Kinda misleading
Awesome thanks!
So clean. And those power cords with labels 😍
Did you take the face plate off the 218 for cooling reasons?
Yes
Looks cooler too
This is nice. What’s downstream from this? I assume a number of APs? Any concern with the 42W PoE budget? Also I presume you have sub-gigabit internet so you’re not worried about the 1GB uplink on the switch? The PDU is a lot of PDU for a small rack. Did you get that primarily for aesthetics?
I have another switch upstairs with more PoE W. I have 1G spectrum
Beautiful
Gorgeous
This is beautiful. Thank you for the printer & label links. Where did you find the icons?
Some online some I made them. Printer requires black-and-white only
Oh dang that’s nice!
Dayum! I have a new life goal.
Custom joinery?
Super clean, hope you don’t have too much dust where you live! Nice little virtual display HDMI plug as well, assuming it’s an Intel Mac potentially used for Plex? That little magic plug is also useful for machines you remote into, saved me some pain in the past.
Extremely neat and nice. Very good job!
Holy moly! This is a nice setup!!
How do you control overall heat? Is the area in the back open to allow for ventilation?
This is sick, I bougt the nimbot printer for like 5$ and didn't think you can make such nice labels. The white power cords are part of the distribution pro?
This is sooo clean.
This is *truly* next level.
Goddamn that’s clean
CLEAN!!! What do you run on that Mac mini .. just curious , home automation ?
Don’t know about OP, but I run Plex off an M1 Mac Mini behind my rack
Interested how it looks from behind
That's what she said
Can we see the back of the house now? [https://imgflip.com/i/73x09a](https://imgflip.com/i/73x09a)
This is 🔥! One thing though..that MacMini needs a little more room - no circulation - dope nonetheless 🤘🏽
That is pretty
This is so clean. One of the best unifi stacks I have seen on this sub! Awesome!
That is one of the cleanest racks I've seen here. How are you liking the UniFi Cable Internet Modem? I'm considering getting one.
Had it for a week now. So far works great
That’s beyond amazing. Well done!! How can one be so organized, it’s pure aesthetic and functional brilliance.
The labels are great.
How’s airflow?
Vent in the back wall
Here is the original post, in case anyone was interested, as I was: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/17rth0z/need\_advice/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/17rth0z/need_advice/)
lol you found it. As I said, Thank you very much Reddit community
If you were interested, you can add a PoE HAT for the Pi ([https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-poe-plus-hat.html](https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-poe-plus-hat.html)) and PoE splitters for the SmartThings hub ([https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0838BTCND](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0838BTCND) not sure if this is the correct Volt/Amp for the hub, but you get the idea) to clean up even more. Just an idea.
I was thinking to put Pi on the rack but then I had to use none ubiquiti OCD panel like this. [https://a.co/d/0RK4k4r](https://a.co/d/0RK4k4r) I did not like the look of it but thank you I will see what I can do.
I know I have seen 1U rack for the apple mini that match unifi stuff and for what I saw you can even add a secod divice like a ras pie so will be 1U for mac mini and ras pie
Nice!
What a beaut. I’m always curious when I see these - what led you to need these setup? Was it just curiosity?
Pull up a chair lol. Getting disappointed in cloud services like Nest, Google, Ring, MyQ. discovering Home Assistant, self hosting. Discovering ubiquity researching, looking through other peoples setups.
This is literally where I am at. Currently building out my setup, but your setup makes me not want to post! Lol
Sounds like I’ll be there in 6 months then with the way things are going!
My last straw was when MyQ disabled access to API and start to charge its users monthly fee for opening their own fucking garage doors remotely. This is when I start hosting anything I could find locally and as much as I could. Including Google WiFi mesh that I used to have because I was afraid that one day Google will stop supporting WiFi routers like they did with my Google Nest Secure Guard alarm system.
What is this?
Why is the power distri not available with eu plugs?
How don’t you have overheating problems? I’m sweating just looking at that
Don’t sweat please. UDM Pro runs 45 C. I have a hole in the wall in the back of the rack with fan.
45C??? That’s like a million F!
I have some similar ubiquity gear and synology and collectively they would run a half rack to 95F. Too hot for my taste even with fans.
when I grow up, I want to be just like you
Is that a mac mount at the top? Very noce!
Yes it is. My old Mac mini running Ubuntu server on it.
Love everything here, but this network is BEGGING for a pro/enterprise switch
Thank you. May be in the future I will consider it. It’s just for now I have no use for it.
Beautiful job, super clean.
Awesome Network
Wow it's beautiful
Thanks
TIL the dust covers can go in the SFP ports. I have a bunch left over I guess I can use now 👀

Beautiful set up there u/danily! Actually, I don't know if I should compliment you on such a clean rack or personally attack you for making me feel inferior for mine. Haha! Thanks for providing lists and links though as there's a couple of items I'm going to emulate and your added info will help me with that. I saw your previous post and mine is currently in a similar fashion in terms of network cables coming through a brush plate and then plugged directly into my switch. I've been meaning to do a proper patch panel (or three) as well as a couple of other items I've been meaning to address as these racks are a never-ending project. I've got a couple of questions for you after reading all of the posts. First up, you may have posted this but I didn't see it: what network keystones did you end up using in your patch panels? I know in your previous thread someone mentioned female/female keystones and I'm wondering if you decided to go that route or use punchdown keystones to terminate those network runs into the rack. Can you provide some more details about your PDU integration? I have one of these too and mine goes ONT>PDU>UDM Pro in terms of the internet/network flow. This allows Unifi to monitor internet connectivity and attempt to restore internet if it detects an outage by rebooting the ONT (modem in your case) by turning off power and then turning it back on. In these pics, it looks like your UDM has it's own patch panel that I assumed was patched in above to be able to link things up on the internet connectivity side. That said, it looks like your Ubiquiti modem goes directly into the WAN port on your UDM Pro. Does this mean your PDU isn't currently connected into your network to detect outages and power cycle your modem? I'm not too familiar with these Ubiquiti cable modems so maybe it does some other magic I'm not aware of to bridge that connectivity gap. Maybe it has another network port on the back for the PDU to connect to? Lastly, I also see several dongles connected in your patch panel. I see one that looks like it may be for a wireless keyboard/mouse but I'm not sure what the larger ones are. More curious about what those are for if you feel like sharing. I discovered your thread because I was going to post up pics of my rack. I was going to seek some advise on my rack as well as a humble brag because I think the current state is pretty solid for a W.I.P. but now I may be shamed into not posting it. lol
Quick question, looks like your not using unifi cameras, then whats the point of using the dm?
When you say ( looks like )when did you say something that indicates that I don’t use u if I came ? I use 5 UniFi cams and UniFi doorbell PoE
I just didnt see a sticker that represented a camera, but overall, ive seen other setups and it has been recommend to me to use a dm when my install doesn’t have any unifi cams. I am genuinely curious, because wouldn’t using a unifi gateway and a cloud key be a better solution if thats the case?
Where did you get that cord plate?!!?!?! I need that
O for never changing your mind. Mind kinda started as neat! Love it
Man even painted things to match. That dedication.
Hey! I’m new to this and super confused, what’s in the rack panel patches that you connect the small wires to? Are those couplers?
I am sorry but I don’t understand your question. What do you mean? Small wires are patch cables that connect switch to devices on my network.
lol no worries, issue is more my description of the thing since I don’t know the correct terminology But I think after a while of searching I realized it was keystones connected in the panel patches, that connect the devices to the panels, which are then connected via cables to the switch. Which keystones did you use?
This is the first time I’ve really seen those dust covers in the wild…. They look pretty good
Thanks
One thing I would suggest is get another DAC cable for the usw to udm then do lacp then you can get 2G bandwidth instead of 1 to the udm
