Rack shelf Rittal DK 7166.735 — steel, grey, for 19" enclosures, load capacity 50 kg

Rittal DK 7166.735 is a steel rack shelf designed for mounting in 19" enclosures and server cabinets. Finished in grey, the shelf provides a stable platform for equipment and components and is supplied as a single unit. It is intended for frame attachment and can be used in enclosures with widths of 600 mm and 800 mm. The shelf is specified with a rated load capacity of 50 kg and is suitable for IT, telecom and industrial control installations where a robust, low-profile support surface is required.

Advantages

The steel construction delivers mechanical strength and long service life while the grey finish offers basic corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance that integrates into standard rack installations. Its single-piece supply simplifies procurement and inventory, and compatibility with 19" enclosure mounting points and frame or rail attachment provides flexible installation options. The shelf's 50 kg load rating supports a range of network devices, power supplies and small servers or peripherals.

Suitable for

• Mounting routers, switches and small network appliances
• Placing power supplies, UPS modules or battery packs within a cabinet
• Holding industrial control components and field devices inside enclosures
• Use in server rooms or telecom racks where a fixed shelf is required

When it may not be suitable

This shelf may not be suitable when equipment exceeds the 50 kg rated load capacity; heavier devices require a higher-capacity shelf or additional support. It is intended for enclosures with 19" mounting or for frame attachment in 600 mm and 800 mm wide cabinets, so it may not fit non-standard or narrower enclosures without suitable mounting points.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: grey
• Intended mounting: 19" enclosure / frame attachment
• Suitable enclosure widths: 600 mm, 800 mm
• Rated load capacity: 50 kg
• Quantity supplied: 1 piece

How to use

Mount the shelf to the enclosure frame or 19" rails using the appropriate mounting points and fasteners for your cabinet model. Ensure the shelf is level and all attachment points are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Place equipment centrally on the shelf to distribute weight evenly and avoid exceeding the 50 kg rating. For devices with concentrated loads, consider additional supports or load distribution plates.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify cabinet width (600 mm or 800 mm) and presence of compatible frame or 19" mounting points
• Confirm total weight of installed equipment does not exceed 50 kg
• Check required fasteners and accessories for your cabinet model (not included unless stated)
• Assess whether additional ventilation or cable management is needed with the shelf installed

Usage recommendations

For stable installation, distribute equipment weight evenly across the shelf, secure heavy components to prevent movement, and periodically inspect mounting points for signs of loosening or corrosion. If planned loads approach the 50 kg limit, choose a higher-capacity solution or reinforce mounting to maintain safety and performance.
