Rittal SZ 2379.900 pull-out mouse pad shelf, metal housing, grey

The Rittal SZ 2379.900 pull-out mouse pad shelf is a compact, metal-mounted solution for adding a retractable mouse surface to control cabinets and workstation enclosures. Finished in industrial grey, the shelf integrates a flat platform and a fixed mouse pad area to support ergonomic mouse operation in confined technical environments. It is supplied as a single unit designed for installation inside metal housings where a durable, space-saving input surface is required.

Advantages

This pull-out mouse pad shelf is built from metal for robust performance in industrial settings and offers a smooth sliding mechanism for reliable extension and retraction. The integrated mouse pad area keeps the pointing device stable during operation and helps maintain an organised workspace by tucking away when not in use. Its grey finish matches common control cabinet interiors and resists typical wear in technical environments.

Suitable for

• Control cabinets and electrical enclosures where space for peripherals is limited
• Industrial workstations and service cabinets requiring a retractable mouse surface
• Panel-mounted operator stations where a durable, metal-mounted shelf is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended for installation inside metal housings and may not be appropriate for freestanding desks, lightweight furniture, or situations that require a large, full-size mouse surface. It is not a complete keyboard tray; users needing both keyboard and mouse support should consider combined solutions.

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction for durability
• Finish: industrial grey
• Function: pull-out retractable shelf with integrated mouse pad area
• Mounting: designed for installation in control cabinets and workstation enclosures
• Supply: single unit

How to use

Mount the shelf inside a suitable cabinet or enclosure following the cabinet manufacturer’s panel-cut and fixing recommendations. Slide the shelf outward to provide a stable surface for mouse operation and slide it back into the housing when not in use. Ensure the installation allows smooth travel and that the mouse pad area remains level to maintain consistent pointer control.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm internal cabinet dimensions and mounting clearances to ensure the shelf fits and can fully extend
• Check compatibility with existing enclosure cutouts and mounting hardware
• Assess whether you require additional keyboard support or only a mouse surface

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, install the shelf on a stable panel, verify smooth movement after mounting, and avoid overloading the platform. Clean the metal surfaces and mouse pad area periodically to remove dust and debris that could affect mouse tracking and the sliding mechanism.
