[c-nsp] 15" router purchase

[chris stand]

15" ?

What data facility only allows a half floor tile for front to rear space ?
Are there any servers that shallow ?
I have about 300 1U to 5U and not one of them is anything short of 24" at
minimum.  Especially once you add a few inches for data, fiber or power
connections.

I do have a handful of 7206s and they may be shallow but thats only a small
portion of a network .
