# UCTRONICS Pi Rack Basic - 19" 1U 4x Pi 5 with M.2 NVMe Base

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** AC-RM0014 · **Brand:** [UCTRONICS](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/uctronics-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/uctronics-pi-5-19inch-rack-4-pis-with-m2-nvme-ssd-bases.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/uctronics-pi-5-19inch-rack-4-pis-with-m2-nvme-ssd-bases.html.md))

Under-board M.2 NVMe bases deliver PCIe Gen2/Gen3 speeds to up to four SBCs in a 1U 19-inch rack, preserving GPIO access and showing LED drive activity.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $154.95 (inc GST) — $140.86 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Sep 02 and Sep 07.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=AC-RM0014:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/AC-RM0014:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
