Rack shelf Alcasa GC-N0101

The Rack shelf Alcasa GC-N0101 is a compact, black steel shelf designed for installation in server and equipment racks. With an outer size of 254 mm width, 160 mm depth and 43 mm height (1U), this shelf offers a stable platform for storing small devices, peripherals and accessories inside 10" rack enclosures. Its solid steel construction and black finish provide mechanical strength and a discreet appearance compatible with standard rack systems.

Advantages

The steel construction delivers rigidity and long-term durability while maintaining a low profile at 1U height. The compact dimensions make the shelf suitable for shallow rack spaces or cabinets where depth is limited. A black finish reduces visual distraction and helps the shelf blend into typical server-room environments. The design provides a flat, supportive surface for non-rack-mountable equipment and cable routing.

Suitable for

• Mounting small network devices such as switches, media converters, or modems
• Placing external hard drives, power supplies or UPS accessories that do not require direct ventilation
• Organising peripherals, adapters and spare parts inside 10" or shallow depth racks
• Temporary or permanent placement of non-rackmount gear in 1U spaces

When it may not be suitable

This rack shelf is not intended for heavy or high-vibration equipment; its compact dimensions and flat design are optimized for light to moderate loads. Devices requiring extensive airflow, large heat dissipation or full-depth mounting may not be appropriate for placement on this shallow 160 mm shelf.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: black
• Width: 254 mm
• Depth: 160 mm
• Height: 43 mm (1U)
• Form factor: oval edge profile with flat carrying surface

How to use

Install the Alcasa GC-N0101 shelf into standard rack rails at the desired 1U position using compatible rack fasteners or screws. Place devices centrally on the shelf to distribute weight evenly and avoid overhang beyond the shelf depth. Route cables neatly to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain airflow within the rack. Check mounting hardware periodically to ensure the shelf remains secure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify available rack depth and internal clearance to ensure the 160 mm depth fits your cabinet
• Confirm the load requirements of the equipment you intend to place on the shelf
• Ensure the shelf mounting pattern matches your rack rail system and fastener type
• Consider ventilation needs of devices to avoid placing heat-sensitive equipment on a closed metal shelf without airflow

Usage recommendations

Use the shelf for light to moderate loads and non-rackmount devices; distribute weight evenly and avoid obstructing ventilation paths. Regularly inspect mounting points and cable management to maintain safe, reliable operation.
