The “U” stands for “Unit Height” and is a standard 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) throughout the American audiovisual installation industry. Therefore a 2 U component would have a height of 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) and so on. By having these standards it allows a custom installer to quickly predict what combination of U height electronics will fit efficiently into a standard rack.
