Rack shelf APC ER7SHELFS

The APC ER7SHELFS rack shelf is a universal 19" accessory designed to hold equipment in standard server and network cabinets. It measures 485 mm in width and 392 mm in depth, providing a stable flat platform for non-rack-mountable devices, tools, or spare components. Finished in black, the shelf supports up to 50 kg and integrates with typical 19" mounting rails to expand usable storage space within racks and enclosures.

Advantages

The shelf provides a solid, low-profile storage surface that fits standard 19" rack openings, reducing the need for custom mounting or external shelving. Its material and finish resist wear from routine use while the load rating ensures reliable performance with a wide range of equipment. The compact depth maximizes usable rack depth while leaving space for cabling and airflow management.

Suitable for

• Placement of small servers, switches, or network appliances that lack rack ears
• Storage of power supplies, UPS accessories, and spare parts inside a cabinet
• Holding monitoring devices, patch panels, or cable management tools
• Temporary staging of equipment during maintenance or reconfiguration

Key specifications

• Compatibility: fits standard 19-inch rack rails
• Maximum load capacity: 50 kg
• External dimensions: 485 mm width × 392 mm depth
• Finish: black
• Mounting style: fixed shelf for vertical rail attachment

How to use

Install the shelf by aligning it with the 19" rack mounting rails at the desired position and secure it using the appropriate mounting hardware for the rack (screws or cage nuts as required by the cabinet). Place equipment centrally on the shelf to distribute weight evenly and avoid overhanging that could affect airflow or cable access. Verify that total weight placed on the shelf does not exceed the rated capacity.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, reserve the shelf for non-rack-mountable items and devices within the specified weight limit. Maintain clearance for front-to-back airflow and route cables to prevent strain on connected equipment. Inspect mounting points periodically and re-tighten fasteners after initial installation or heavy use.
