StarTech.com Black Shelf, 2 U, 34kg Load, 483mm x 508 mm

This shelf is a 2U rack-mounted support designed to hold network and server peripherals within a 19-inch enclosure. Constructed from steel with a black finish, it provides a ventilated platform suited to equipment that requires airflow and organised placement in professional automation, electronics and electrical environments.

• 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

• 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
• Can be used for field service kits and cable management trays

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.

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

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.

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