Product Identity

The STARTECH CABSHELF116 is a 1U cantilever shelf designed for 19-inch racks. It provides a stable mounting surface for equipment that cannot be rack-mounted directly, such as desktop computers or tools. The 16-inch deep tray suits small office, home office, server room, or data centre environments where floor space is limited.

Build and Mounting

The tray is constructed from SPCC commercial-grade cold-rolled steel and supports up to 20 kg (44 lbs.) of equipment. Its cantilever design mounts to the front rack rails only, leaving rear clearance for cables and airflow. The shelf can be installed at any height within the rack, allowing flexible placement for diverse devices.

Capacity and Compatibility Limits

The 1U form factor restricts vertical space above and below the shelf, so only low-profile items fit comfortably. The 20 kg load rating sets a hard ceiling for heavy hardware such as large UPS units or multi-drive arrays. Depth is fixed at 16 inches, limiting use with deeper chassis or battery modules.

Questions about this item

What rack standard does the 1U cantilever shelf fit, and what depth does it add?

The shelf mounts in a 19-inch rack and extends 16 inches deep, giving a stable surface for non-rackmount gear without using floor space.

What hardware is required to secure the 16-inch deep tray to the rack posts?

The unit bolts directly to the front 19-inch mounting rails using the included cage nuts and screws; no rear rails or extra brackets are needed.

How is the 1U shelf installed, and which step is often missed?

Cage nuts are clipped into the front rail holes at the chosen height, the shelf brackets are bolted to those nuts, and the critical step is tightening all four screws evenly so the 20 kg load rating is maintained.
