Rack shelf Extralink EX.14497, 19" (48.3 cm) width 350 mm, metal, grey

Extralink EX.14497 is a 19" (48.3 cm) metal rack shelf with a 350 mm depth and a grey finish, designed to fit standard 19" server racks. The shelf provides a stable horizontal surface for mounting network devices, small servers, power supplies or for holding tools and accessories inside a rack cabinet. Constructed from cold-rolled steel with a durable painted surface, it is supplied as a single-piece pack ready for installation.

Advantages

The shelf offers a robust metal construction that supports equipment securely while minimising flex under load. Its 350 mm usable depth and 19" width match common rack dimensions, ensuring compatibility with most server and network enclosures. A painted finish protects the surface from scratches and corrosion, and the compact 1U height saves vertical space inside the rack.

Suitable for

• Supporting network switches, patch panels and small rack-mountable devices
• Placing external power supplies, UPS units or battery packs
• Storing hand tools, cables and rack accessories for maintenance tasks
• Temporary placement of non-rackable equipment inside a cabinet

How to use

Mount the shelf into the vertical mounting rails of a standard 19" rack at the desired U position, aligning the mounting holes with the rack's threaded or cage-nut fittings. Fasten the shelf using appropriate rack screws or nuts (not included). Once secured, place equipment evenly across the shelf to distribute weight and prevent overloading a single point. For heavier devices, verify rack rail load ratings and secure items as needed to prevent movement.

Usage recommendations

Use the shelf for non-rack-mountable equipment and accessories where a stable horizontal surface is required. Avoid exceeding the rack rail load limits and distribute weight evenly. For devices that require ventilation or cable access, ensure adequate airflow and clearances when positioning items on the shelf.
