Our notes on Rex Regional Express

Rex sets its carry-on rule in the conditions of carriage. On regional routes, every passenger may carry 7 kg, whatever fare was purchased, and the bag's total linear dimensions should not exceed 105 cm.

Individual items brought into the cabin are also limited to 23 cm deep, 34 cm high and 48 cm long (9 × 13 × 19 in), which add up to the same 105 cm. A standard 55 cm cabin case is too long for those limits. Rex may weigh and measure carry-on bags, and anything over the allowance is moved to checked baggage under the checked allowance.
