Actually, if you have the luxury of front and rear rails, the Chatsworth 23" to 19" adapter plates work quite nicely with the Cisco 7xxx series mounting kits. The plates come in a variety of sizes, but we use the ones that are about 5" if I recall that perfectly fit the hole patterns on the top and bottom of the kits. Once the whole mess is mounted in the racks, it sort of looks like the router is "suspended" in air, but I assure you it is quite sturdy as those plates don't warp/bend at all. Also, the little mounting ears that go on the router for keeping it locked in the rails work nicely with the same adapter plates. That is, mount the plates on the rails and the ears mate up with them just as they were meant to.
