Telescopic Rack Shelf SCHROFF 19" 2U 1000mm Depth RAL7021

Telescopic Rack Shelf SCHROFF 19" 2U 1000mm Depth RAL7021 is a slide-out shelf engineered for 19" equipment racks that occupies 2U of vertical space and provides a 1000 mm mounting depth. The shelf has telescopic glides that allow full or partial extension to access mounted devices for installation, inspection, and maintenance while maintaining secure support when retracted. The RAL7021 finish offers a neutral dark-grey colour suitable for professional environments such as data centres, telecom cabinets and industrial enclosures.

Advantages

The telescopic design provides controlled glide-out movement for safe handling of heavy or delicate equipment and reduces the need to remove devices from the rack for servicing. Constructed to fit standard 19" rack rails, the shelf supports a range of server, storage and peripheral devices while helping to organise rack space. The robust metal construction with a RAL7021 coating improves scratch resistance and provides consistent appearance across installations.

Suitable for

• Mounting servers, storage arrays and peripheral devices that require occasional access
• Field service and maintenance tasks in data centres and telecom closets
• Temporary placement of test equipment or instruments inside a 19" rack
• Industrial control cabinets where a slide-out surface is needed for quick inspections

Key specifications

• Rack size compatibility: 19" standard
• Usable rack height: 2U
• Mounting depth: 1000 mm
• Finish colour: RAL7021 (dark grey)
• Mounting type: front-to-rear rack rail attachment with telescopic glide mechanism
• Functionality: slide-out (telescopic) shelf for service access

How to use

Install the shelf by attaching the front and rear mounting brackets to the corresponding 19" rack rails at the desired 2U position, ensuring the unit is level and securely fastened. Slide the telescopic rails fully in to lock the shelf in the retracted position before placing equipment on the surface. To access mounted devices, unlock any safety latches and extend the shelf using the glide handles or edges; extend only as far as needed for the task and support heavy equipment during movement. Retract the shelf after work is complete and verify that any latches or locks are engaged to prevent unintended extension.

Usage recommendations

Verify load capacity of the rack and mounted shelf before placing heavy equipment, distribute weight evenly across the shelf surface, and secure devices as needed to prevent movement during extension. Use the telescopic function for temporary access rather than continuous operation, and perform periodic checks of glide mechanism and mounting fasteners to maintain reliable performance.
