Rack shelf Rittal DK 7484.035 — steel grey, single-piece rack shelf

Rittal DK 7484.035 — steel grey, single-piece rack shelf is a sturdy shelf designed for installation inside server, network and telecom enclosures. Supplied as one solid piece, the shelf provides a durable horizontal surface for mounting or placing electronic devices, small peripherals, tools and accessories within a 19-inch or compatible cabinet. The grey steel finish offers corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor data centre and IT room environments while supporting organized equipment layouts.

Advantages

The single-piece steel construction delivers strong load-bearing capability with a rated capacity of approximately 100 kg, enabling reliable placement of heavier devices without additional support. Its punched or ventilated design facilitates airflow around equipment and helps manage heat build-up. The grey finish matches common RAL cabinet interiors for a consistent look and resists surface wear from repeated device placement.

Suitable for

• Mounting non-rack-mountable devices (UPS units, switches, external drives) inside server racks or telecom cabinets
• Storing tools, cables and spare parts within equipment enclosures for easy access
• Creating a stable platform for test equipment or measurement devices during maintenance
• Organizing small peripherals and power strips in network cabinets

When it may not be suitable

This shelf is intended for general equipment support and may not be suitable when precise equipment mounting with rack ears or front-to-back rail fixation is required. For very heavy or vibration-sensitive equipment, a purpose-built sliding shelf, drawer, or reinforced mounting tray may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: grey (RAL-like interior finish)
• Load capacity: approximately 100 kg
• Configuration: single-piece shelf
• Ventilation: punched/ventilated surface to aid airflow

How to use

Install the shelf into compatible rack or cabinet mounting rails at the desired vertical position using the cabinet's existing mounting points and hardware. Ensure the shelf is level and securely fastened before placing equipment on it. Distribute weight evenly across the shelf surface and avoid concentrating heavy loads at a single point near unsupported edges. Use straps or brackets if local regulations or equipment type require additional restraint.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify cabinet rail spacing and mounting hole pattern compatibility with the shelf dimensions
• Confirm the required load capacity for the heaviest device you plan to place on the shelf
• Consider ventilation and airflow requirements of enclosed equipment to avoid obstructing cooling paths
• Check available depth inside the cabinet to ensure devices on the shelf will fit without interfering with rear connections or door closure

Usage recommendations

Place heavier items close to the mounting rails and distribute loads evenly. Combine the shelf with cable management accessories to keep airflow unobstructed and to maintain serviceability of installed devices.
