- Store an NVR or DVR with associated PoE switch and small accessories. The glass door allows quick visual checks of recording LEDs and status lights without opening the cabinet.
- Use as a point-of-entry patching cabinet for fiber termination, ONTs or telephone distribution where wall space is available.
- Compact enough for a basement or home office while giving a professional rack mounting option for labs, media servers or smart-home controllers.

Comparisons with similar products on the market
When selecting a small wall-mount rack cabinet you typically weigh size, security, airflow, load capacity and price. Here’s how the DS-XS6404-S/B compares on those points.
The tempered glass door offers visibility and a modern aesthetic. Compared with perforated metal doors, glass is better for visual checks but may provide slightly less airflow; consider adding fans or ventilation if devices generate heat. Solid steel doors maximize protection and security but eliminate visibility.
Wall-mounted cabinets like this one save floor space and are perfect for small installations. Floor-standing racks offer higher load capacity and expansion potential—suitable for larger server rooms but unnecessary for minimal setups.
The DS-XS6404-S/B’s 40 kg rating and 450 mm depth suit compact switches, small PDUs and NVRs. If your deployment includes heavy UPS units or larger servers, look for deeper, higher-capacity cabinets (e.g., 600–900 mm deep with 80–200 kg load ratings).
With a suggested retail price near $110 (cost price example $42.90), the DS-XS6404-S/B is positioned as an economical option that still provides essential features like tempered glass, adjustable rails and steel construction—making it competitive with many entry-level brands while offering good build quality.
Customer testimonials and impressions
Official long-term reviews for every SKU can be limited, but representative customer feedback for units of this class often highlights the following:
- "Perfect for our small CCTV setup — looks neat and makes maintenance easier." — Retail manager
- "Solid build and easy to mount. The tempered glass door is a nice touch for quick checks." — IT technician

- "Wish it had more ventilation by default — I installed a 120mm fan and it’s fine now." — Installer
These balanced impressions reflect common strengths (appearance, convenience, build) and the predictable caveat about airflow—resolvable with accessories like fans or perforated shelves.
