Universal 19-inch rack shelf

This 1U vented server rack shelf fits EIA-310 compliant 19in racks and provides a 12in deep mounting surface. It supports equipment weighing up to 55 lbs and is built from 2.0 mm thick SPCC cold-rolled steel. The vented plate improves airflow around installed devices. Included hardware simplifies installation in standard cabinets.

Cantilever depth and weight limits

The fixed cantilever design extends 12 inches from the front mounting rails with no rear support brackets. Load capacity is rated at 55 lbs when the weight is distributed evenly across the shelf surface. Exceeding this limit or concentrating heavy items at the front edge can cause deflection or mounting failure. The 1U height occupies a single rack unit in the enclosure.

Verify rack compliance and clearance

Confirm that your rack or cabinet meets EIA-310 standards with a 19in mounting width before ordering. Measure the usable internal depth to ensure the 12in shelf does not interfere with rear doors, cable managers or other equipment. The package includes M6 cage nuts and screws; check that your rack uses square holes compatible with this hardware.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12in deep version or a deeper shelf for my 19in rack?

The 12in depth suits shallow devices such as modems, routers and access points; select a deeper shelf only if your equipment exceeds 12in front-to-back.

What does the 55 lb weight capacity mean once the shelf is mounted in my rack?

It means the cantilever tray can safely hold up to 55 lb of equipment evenly distributed across the vented steel surface.

Does the EIA-310 standard limit the rack depth I can use with this shelf?

EIA-310 defines the 19in mounting width and hole pattern; the shelf fits any compliant rack regardless of overall cabinet depth.
