The given equation in spherical coordinates is:

\[
\rho = 9 \csc(\phi)
\]

We need to convert this into rectangular coordinates \((x, y, z)\).

### Key Spherical to Rectangular Coordinate Relations:
- \(\rho^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2\)
- \(\csc(\phi) = \frac{1}{\sin(\phi)}\)
- \(z = \rho \cos(\phi)\)
- \(\sin(\phi) = \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}}\)

### Step-by-Step Conversion:

1. The original equation is:

   \[
   \rho = 9 \csc(\phi)
   \]
   which is:
   \[
   \rho = \frac{9}{\sin(\phi)}
   \]

2. Using the relation \(\sin(\phi) = \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}}\), substitute \(\sin(\phi)\) in terms of rectangular coordinates:

   \[
   \rho = \frac{9 \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}
   \]

3. Now, express \(\rho\) in terms of rectangular coordinates using \(\rho^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2\):

   \[
   \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} = \frac{9 \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}
   \]

4. Simplify:

   \[
   \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \cdot \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 9 \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}
   \]

   Cancel out the common factor \(\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}\) (assuming \(\rho \neq 0\)):

   \[
   \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 9
   \]

5. Square both sides:

   \[
   x^2 + y^2 = 81
   \]

Thus, the equation in rectangular coordinates is:

\[
x^2 + y^2 = 81
\]

This represents a **cylinder** with radius 9, centered on the \(z\)-axis.
