Rack shelf 2U INTELLINET 400mm perforated, black

INTELLINET 2U rack shelf with 400 mm depth and perforated steel surface in black provides a stable mounting platform for non-rack-mountable equipment inside a 19" server rack or cabinet. The low-profile 2U height fits standard rack rails while the perforated design increases airflow and supports passive heat dissipation for attached devices. The shelf is designed for use in network closets, server rooms and general IT installations where additional flat surfaces are required to hold switches, small UPS units, patch panels, external hard drives or other accessories.

Advantages

The perforated 400 mm deep shelf delivers a balance of load-bearing capacity and ventilation, reducing heat buildup beneath installed devices. Its 2U form factor preserves valuable rack space while offering a wide surface for various non-rackable items. The black finish provides a uniform appearance inside racks and cabinets and the steel construction ensures durability for repeated installations.

Suitable for

• Mounting network switches, small UPS units and routers that lack rack ears
• Storing external hard drives, media players or compact servers
• Organizing accessories such as power strips, patch cords and adapters
• Use in server rooms, telecom closets and equipment cabinets

How to use

Install the shelf on the chosen pair of rack rail mount points at the required height, using appropriate rack screws and cage nuts compatible with your cabinet. Place heavier equipment toward the rear of the shelf near the rack rails for improved stability. Ensure that connected cables and power leads have appropriate slack and routing to avoid strain and to maintain airflow through the perforations.

Usage recommendations

For optimal airflow and cooling, avoid blocking the perforations and distribute weight evenly; consult the rack or cabinet manufacturer for maximum load limits and use compatible rack hardware for secure mounting.
