Rack Shelf Intellinet 19" 2U 400mm Depth Vented Grey 25kg

The INTELLINET 19" Cantilever Rack Shelf provides a compact, vented platform for storing networking and server equipment inside a 19-inch rack. Designed to occupy 2U of rack space and extend 400 mm from the mounting rails, the shelf is constructed from 1.5 mm steel with a corrosion-resistant grey finish and supports a maximum static load of 25 kg. Vented surface openings promote airflow around installed devices to help maintain stable operating temperatures.

Advantages

This rack shelf combines a slim 2U footprint with a practical 400 mm depth, making it suitable for small form-factor devices and peripherals that do not require full-depth shelving. Its vented design improves ventilation compared with solid shelves, while the steel construction provides stable load-bearing capacity and long-term durability. The neutral grey finish integrates with a variety of rack environments and simplifies equipment organisation.

Suitable for

• Mounting small servers, switches and patch panels that fit within a 400 mm depth
• Holding peripherals such as external hard drives, power supplies and KVM devices
• Temporary placement of tools or parts during rack installation and maintenance
• Supplementary support for equipment that needs additional airflow

Key specifications

• Rack unit height: 2U
• Depth (projection from mounting rails): 400 mm
• Material: 1.5 mm steel
• Finish: grey
• Maximum static load capacity: 25 kg
• Vented surface to support airflow
• Mounting style: cantilever (fixes to rack rails without additional vertical supports)

How to use

Install the cantilever shelf by aligning its mounting brackets with the 19" rack rail holes at the desired 2U position and secure the shelf using appropriate rack screws and washers. Place heavier items centrally on the shelf to maintain balance and avoid exceeding the 25 kg static load. Use the vented surface for devices that benefit from passive airflow; allow space around equipment for unobstructed ventilation. Periodically check fastenings and redistribute loads when adding or removing hardware.

Usage recommendations

For longest service life and best thermal performance, install the shelf in a rack position that complements front-to-back airflow, avoid stacking multiple heavy items on one shelf, and confirm that connected cables do not obstruct ventilation openings.
