Length is the measure of distance in one dimension—the extent of an object from one end to the other, or the distance between two points. The SI base unit is the metre (m), defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Common derived units include the kilometre (km = 1,000 m) for distances and the centimetre (cm) and millimetre (mm) for everyday measurements. US customary length units include the inch (in), foot (ft), yard (yd), and mile (mi). The nautical mile (1,852 m) is used in aviation and maritime navigation.

A rack unit (RU or U) is a standardized measurement equal to 1.75 inches (44.45 millimeters) used to specify the height of equipment mounted in server racks and telecommunications enclosures. The measurement standard emerged from the 19-inch rack width standard established in telecommunications infrastructure. Networking equipment, servers, patch panels, and other data center hardware are designed and specified in rack units. A single-unit device (1U) is 1.75 inches tall; a 2U device is 3.5 inches tall; a 4U device is 7 inches tall. Data center architects, network engineers, and equipment procurement specialists use rack units constantly when planning facility layouts, specifying equipment requirements, and managing space allocation in server rooms. The unit remains universal in telecommunications and data center industries worldwide. Learn more about rack unit.
