Abstract
An extension kit for an IT equipment cabinet is disclosed. The extension kit has two vertical profiles, two transverse profiles and four depth profiles. The two vertical profiles and the two transverse profiles form a rectangular frame, wherein each depth profile is fastened to the frame with one of its ends. In addition, two adapter profiles are provided, which are arranged parallel to the vertical profiles on the other ends of the depth profiles. These are designed to be fastened to an IT equipment cabinet to extend a depth of the cabinet without affecting its height or width.
