Rack shelf APC AR8128BLK, metal, black, 445 mm width, 711 mm depth, 44 mm height

APC AR8128BLK is a black metal shelf designed for 19" equipment racks and cabinets. With a usable width of 445 mm, a maximum depth of 711 mm and a height of 44 mm, this rack shelf provides a flat, sturdy surface for placing non-rackmount devices, peripherals and accessories inside network or server enclosures. The steel construction ensures mechanical durability and stable support for items such as cable organizers, small UPS units, power strips and network accessories.

Advantages

The steel shelf delivers reliable load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability within a compact 44 mm height that uses minimal vertical rack space. Its black finish resists corrosion and blends with standard rack interiors. The shelf’s depth and width are optimized for common 19" racks, allowing flexible placement of equipment that cannot be mounted in 1U or 2U rack spaces.

Suitable for

• Placing non-rackmount equipment such as switches, modems, or external hard drives
• Installing small uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or power distribution units (PDUs)
• Organizing cables, tools and spare parts inside network or server cabinets
• Supporting peripheral devices and maintenance equipment during servicing

How to use

Install the shelf into the rack at the desired U position using appropriate rack-mount hardware compatible with 19" rails. Ensure the shelf is level and securely fastened before placing equipment on it. Distribute load evenly across the shelf surface and avoid exceeding the rack or shelf load limits specified by the rack manufacturer. Route and secure cables to prevent strain on connected devices.

Usage recommendations

Position heavier items toward the rear of the shelf near the rack rails for improved stability, and use cable ties or cable management accessories to keep cords organized. Verify clearance within the cabinet for ventilation around powered devices placed on the shelf.
