• Adjustable depth enables flexible positioning for varied rack depths
  Ventilated design assists in heat dissipation for mounted devices
  Steel construction delivers robust support for installed hardware
  Maximum load 34 kg supports dense or heavy peripherals
  Complies with EIA/ECA-310-E to match standard rack fittings

Applications

• Suitable for mounting non-rackmount servers and test instruments
  Ideal for housing network switches and patch panels temporarily
  Used for organising power supplies and small UPS modules

How does the shelf attach to a standard rack?

It mounts into the 19-inch rack using the 2U spacing and standard rack-hole pattern defined by the EIA/ECA-310-E specification, ensuring alignment with rack uprights.

Is the shelf finish compatible with industrial environments?

The black finish on the steel surface provides corrosion resistance typical of painted rack hardware and reduces reflections in equipment bays.

Can it support heavy instrumentation near the front of the rack?

With a rated maximum load of 34 kg, it is suitable for concentrated payloads within that limit, though front-weighted items should be secured to prevent cantilever stress.

Does the shelf accommodate cable routing?

The ventilated platform permits easy cable pass-through beneath and around mounted items, facilitating organised cable runs in confined rack spaces.
