19" sliding shelf LANBERG AK-1020-S, depth 350 mm, grey

LANBERG 19" sliding shelf AK-1020-S is a 19-inch rack-mounted sliding shelf with a 350 mm usable depth and a grey finish. It is designed to fit standard 19" equipment racks and server cabinets, providing a stable, retractable platform for devices that need occasional access without occupying a fixed rack unit. The sliding mechanism enables smooth front access for maintenance and cabling while keeping devices secure when retracted.

Advantages

The sliding shelf offers reliable support for non-rack-mountable equipment and small servers, with a compact 350 mm depth that suits shallow cabinets and wall-mounted enclosures. The grey finish resists visible wear and integrates with common equipment colours. The slide rails allow controlled movement and easy access to the front and rear of mounted devices for quick maintenance and cable routing.

Suitable for

• Small servers and network switches that require occasional front access
• Peripherals such as external hard drives, UPS accessories, and KVM switches
• Patch panels or test equipment in shallow racks and wall-mounted cabinets
• Environments where space is limited and cable management must remain accessible

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch rack compatible
• Mount type: sliding shelf with rail mechanism for front access
• Usable depth: 350 mm
• Finish: grey
• Material: durable metal construction for stable load support

How to use

Install the sliding shelf into compatible 19" rack rails at the desired height using standard rack-mount screws. Place equipment on the shelf and slide it out to access front panels, ports and cables when performing maintenance or rearranging connections. Ensure the device weight is within the shelf's supported load and keep cables routed to avoid interference with the sliding rails. When not in use, push the shelf fully in to free space in the rack and reduce exposure of mounted equipment.

Usage recommendations

Before mounting equipment, verify rack depth and load capacity. Use mounting hardware appropriate to your rack type and secure cabling to prevent snagging during slide movement. Periodically check the sliding mechanism for debris and lubricate as recommended by rack maintenance guidelines to ensure smooth operation.
