Universal 19-Inch Rack Compatibility

This 1U vented cantilever shelf fits any standard 19-inch server rack or network cabinet. It provides a mounting platform for lightweight IT, data, networking, or non-rack-mount equipment. The unit occupies a single rack unit of vertical space. It is finished in black to match typical data centre environments.

Adjustable Depth and Ventilated Airflow

The shelf depth adjusts between 16 and 20 inches to accommodate various equipment sizes. A vented steel surface allows air to circulate around mounted devices, helping to prevent heat buildup during continuous operation. Cold-rolled steel brackets with double-layer construction support a maximum load of 22 pounds.

Verify Rack Space and Equipment Weight

Confirm that your rack or cabinet conforms to the 19-inch mounting standard before ordering. Ensure the combined weight of the devices you plan to place on the shelf does not exceed the 22-pound capacity. Check that you have at least 1U of free vertical space and sufficient front-to-rear clearance for the chosen depth setting.

Questions about this item

Does the vented 1U shelf generate any noise or heat when equipment runs on it all day?

The shelf itself has no moving parts and produces no noise or heat; its vented steel surface simply lets air flow through to keep mounted devices cool.

What rack hardware must I already own to install this 1U cantilever tray?

You need a standard 19‑inch rack or cabinet with two front mounting rails; the shelf bolts to those rails using the included screws.

Will this 16‑20 inch deep shelf fit alongside older 14‑17 inch gear in the same 42U rack?

Yes, the depth adjusts from 16 to 20 inches, so it can sit in the same 19‑inch rack as shallower legacy equipment.
