How much equipment are you putting in the rack? We normally use 
wall-mounted racks (up to 16u) - mounting them towards the ceiling 
helps keep everything out of the way:

         15U x 12" deep:

For cabling, a 12" deep rack will handle most patch panels & 
switches. Putting it up on the wall is a lot simpler and space 
effective than a floor-mounted rack.
