StarTech CABSHELFV1U-2PK 1U Vented Cantilever Server Rack Shelf for 19-inch Cabinets, 2-Pack

The StarTech 1U Vented Cantilever Server Rack Shelf 2-Pack provides a reliable storage solution for 19-inch server racks and cabinets. These heavy-duty shelves are engineered to support non-rackmount equipment, networking hardware, and tools, ensuring they remain securely positioned within your server environment. With a durable steel construction and a vented design, these shelves offer both structural integrity and optimal thermal management for your critical IT infrastructure.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this 2-pack configuration is the ability to standardize your rack layouts across multiple sites or cabinets, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance in any data room or network closet. The vented design is specifically engineered to promote consistent airflow, which helps to dissipate heat and prevent the formation of hotspots around your sensitive electronic equipment. Furthermore, the robust cold-rolled steel construction ensures long-term durability and reliable load-bearing performance, allowing each shelf to safely support up to 20kg of equipment.

Suitable for

• Storing non-rackmount networking devices and routers
• Organizing tools and small hardware in server cabinets
• Supporting AV equipment in media racks
• Creating stable platforms in 19-inch server enclosures

This shelf may not be suitable for equipment that exceeds the 20kg weight limit or for devices that require a deeper mounting surface than the 10-inch (25cm) depth provided. It is also not intended for use in racks that do not conform to the standard 19-inch mounting width.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack height
• Material: SPCC cold-rolled steel
• Weight capacity: 20kg per shelf
• Depth: 10 inches (25cm)
• Compatibility: Standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets
• Quantity: 2 shelves per pack
• Design: Vented/perforated for airflow

To install the shelves, align the mounting brackets with the front rack posts of your 19-inch cabinet. Secure the shelf using appropriate rack screws and cage nuts, ensuring the cantilever design is flush against the mounting rails. Once installed, place your equipment centrally on the tray to maintain balance and ensure the weight is distributed evenly across the shelf surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your rack cabinet has sufficient depth to accommodate the 10-inch shelf footprint.
• Ensure your equipment weight does not exceed the 20kg limit per shelf.
• Confirm that your rack supports standard 19-inch mounting hardware.

Usage recommendations: For optimal thermal performance, avoid stacking equipment directly on top of each other on the shelf. Ensure that the vented perforations remain unobstructed to allow for maximum air circulation around your hardware.
