Digitus DN-97609 Fixed Shelf for 19-inch Server Cabinets 1U Ventilated Grey

The Digitus fixed shelf is engineered for stable and reliable installation inside standard 483 mm (19-inch) network and server cabinets. Designed to occupy a single height unit, this robust shelf features a durable sheet steel construction equipped with a perforated metal design to ensure consistent airflow and prevent heat accumulation around your sensitive IT hardware. Utilizing a convenient 2-point mounting system that attaches directly to the front profile rails, it offers a secure platform with an inner storage area measuring 441 by 250 millimeters. This accessory provides a practical solution for organizing and housing equipment that lacks standard rack-mounting capabilities, maintaining a neat and professional server room layout.

Advantages

This fixed shelf offers a reliable structural foundation for supporting non-rack-mountable hardware within standard server enclosures. The perforated sheet metal design actively promotes optimal ventilation, helping to maintain safe operating temperatures for active and passive devices alike. Requiring only a single height unit, it maximizes vertical rack space efficiency without compromising on load capacity. The inclusion of a complete installation set ensures a straightforward mounting process directly onto the front profile rails, while the sturdy steel build guarantees long-term durability and dependable performance in demanding network environments.

Suitable for

• Placing non-rack-mountable network devices and accessories inside server cabinets
• Organizing power supplies, small routers, or switches in 19-inch racks
• Improving internal enclosure organization and maximizing vertical space utilization

This shelf is not designed for deployment in cabinets with depths significantly smaller than the specified installation requirements or in non-standard rack sizes that deviate from the 483 mm standard. It is also unsuitable for housing exceptionally heavy equipment exceeding the specified maximum load capacity.

Key specifications

• Designed for 483 mm (19-inch) network and server cabinets
• Occupies 1 height unit
• Maximum load capacity of up to 15 kg
• Inner shelf dimensions of 441 x 250 mm
• Perforated sheet steel construction for enhanced airflow
• 2-point mounting system for front profile rails

Begin by aligning the shelf with the front 483 mm profile rails of your server or network cabinet at the desired height. Secure the unit using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring that both the left and right attachment points are firmly fastened to the rails with the included screws, cage nuts, and washers. Verify that the shelf is level before placing any equipment on the surface, and ensure that the total weight of the placed components does not exceed the specified load limit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the depth and compatibility of your existing 19-inch server or network cabinet
• Check the weight of the equipment you intend to place on the shelf against the maximum load capacity
• Ensure there is adequate vertical clearance (1 height unit) available in your rack layout

For optimal thermal management and equipment safety, distribute the weight evenly across the shelf surface and ensure that surrounding airflow paths within the cabinet remain unobstructed by cables or other hardware.
