Rack plate Rittal SM 2381.000 — steel grey rack plate for enclosure mounting

The Rittal SM 2381.000 rack plate is a grey steel accessory designed to serve as a small shelf or mousepad holder for control enclosures and flat surfaces. It provides a stable mounting surface and allows the user to adjust the tilt angle of the plate to suit ergonomic or space requirements. Two mounting holes in the housing are required to attach the plate securely.

Advantages

This rack plate is made of steel and comes in a neutral grey finish that fits industrial environments. The tilt of the shelf is individually adjustable, enabling improved ergonomics for mouse use or temporary placement of small devices. It is supplied as a single unit per pack and is intended for straightforward attachment to compatible housings that provide two mounting holes.

Suitable for

• Use as a mousepad or small shelf on control cabinets and operator enclosures
• Installation on flat surfaces where a compact, adjustable shelf is needed
• Industrial or server room environments requiring durable steel mounting accessories

When it may not be suitable

This rack plate requires two mounting holes in the housing for secure fixation; it is not suitable for installations where those mounting points are absent. The product is compact and intended for small items—larger or heavy equipment should not be placed on it.
