Cantilever Shelf ProBase FS-1U-25-FRONT-GRS 1U, 250 mm depth, grey

ProBase FS-1U-25-FRONT-GRS is a 1U cantilever shelf with a 250 mm depth and a grey finish, engineered for mounting in standard 19-inch racks and cabinets. The front-mounted cantilever design places the load-bearing support toward the front of the rack, creating an accessible flat surface for networking devices, small servers, UPS units or peripheral equipment while keeping rear rack space free for cabling and airflow. The robust construction ensures stable support for medium-weight devices in server rooms, communication closets and equipment cabinets.

Advantages

The cantilever mounting reduces interference with rear-mounted equipment and improves access to front-facing ports and controls. Its 1U profile preserves vertical rack space while the 250 mm depth accommodates compact devices and accessories. The grey finish provides a neutral appearance that integrates with typical rack interiors. The shelf is designed for easy installation in 19-inch racks and offers a firm support surface that minimizes sag and lateral movement under load.

Suitable for

• Small network switches and routers
• Compact servers and blade enclosures
• External power supplies and small UPS units
• Patch panels, KVM switches and peripheral equipment
• Temporary staging of devices during maintenance

How to use

Install the shelf in a compatible 19-inch rack by aligning the mounting brackets with the rack’s front rail holes and securing with the appropriate fasteners. Position devices on the shelf so that weight is evenly distributed and connectors face the rack front for easy access. Route cables neatly toward the rear of the rack and use cable management accessories to prevent strain on ports. Check that the shelf is level and securely fixed before placing powered equipment on it.

Usage recommendations

Verify the actual load capacity for your specific installation and follow rack manufacturer instructions for mounting hardware and weight distribution. Avoid overloading the shelf and ensure adequate ventilation around devices to maintain thermal performance.
