Rack shelf INTELLINET 919562, 2U, perforated steel, 400 mm depth, black

INTELLINET 919562 is a 2U rack shelf constructed from perforated steel with a 400 mm depth and a black finish. It is designed to fit standard 19-inch server racks and IT cabinets, providing a reinforced flat surface for mounting equipment, peripherals or tools while allowing passive ventilation through the perforations. The shelf's 2U height minimizes rack space usage while supporting devices that do not require front and rear mounting rails.

Advantages

The perforated steel design promotes airflow, helping to reduce heat buildup around placed equipment. Its 400 mm depth accommodates a wide range of devices and accessories while keeping them accessible. The black powder-coated finish offers corrosion resistance and a uniform appearance in professional rack environments. The shelf installs into standard 19-inch rack mounting points and delivers a stable, load-bearing platform for non-rackmount items.

Suitable for

• Placement of small switches, routers, and modems that do not use rack ears
• Storage of tools, patch panels, power strips and external drives
• Temporary positioning of laptops, monitoring equipment or measurement devices in server rooms
• Supporting peripherals in network cabinets and telecom closets

Key specifications

• Rack unit height: 2U
• Material: perforated steel
• Depth: 400 mm
• Finish: black powder coat
• Compatible rack size: 19-inch
• Mounting: front and rear rack-mountable

How to use

Mount the shelf into the desired 2U position in a standard 19-inch rack by aligning the mounting holes with the rack uprights and securing with appropriate rack screws or cage nuts. Place equipment and accessories centrally on the shelf to distribute weight evenly and avoid overhanging. Ensure that devices placed on the shelf have adequate clearance for cables and air circulation through the perforations. Verify load capacity with your rack specifications before installing heavy items.

Usage recommendations

Use the shelf for non-rackmount equipment or items that require a stable platform rather than permanent bolting. Keep clearance around ventilation openings, and periodically inspect mounting hardware for tightness. For heavy or vibration-sensitive equipment, consider additional support or dedicated rackmount trays.
