Rack shelf VALUE 19" T 150 mm U‑form, load

VALUE 19" rack shelf in U form with a depth of 150 mm is a compact support solution for installation in 19-inch server and network cabinets. Designed for light-duty applications, the shelf provides a stable platform for small devices, patch panels, adapters or tools while preserving valuable rack depth. Its open U-shaped design allows easy access to cabling and ventilation around mounted equipment.

Advantages

The shelf offers a low-profile, space-saving form factor that fits standard 19" mounting rails and requires minimal installation effort. With a rated load capacity under 15 kg, it is suitable for lightweight network accessories and non-rackmountable devices. The U-shaped construction improves airflow and cable routing compared with solid shelves, while the steel material ensures dimensional stability and reliable support in telecom and server environments.

Suitable for

• Mounting small switches, modems or patch panels
• Holding power supplies, external drives or adapters
• Storing tools and accessories inside server or network cabinets
• Temporary placement of measurement instruments or maintenance equipment

Key specifications

• Mounting standard: 19-inch rack compatible
• Form factor: U-shaped open shelf

How to use

Install the shelf on the cabinet’s 19" mounting rails using compatible rack screws or cage nuts in the required U-position. Position the shelf at the desired height and secure it to the front mounting points, ensuring the shelf sits level. Place lightweight equipment centrally on the shelf to maintain balance and avoid overloading; route cables through the open sides for clear access and ventilation. Periodically check fastenings and load distribution during maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the shelf for devices and accessories that do not exceed the stated load capacity. Keep heavy items off the shelf and distribute multiple small items evenly. For equipment requiring grounding or vibration isolation, use appropriate accessories and consider mounting directly to rack rails or using dedicated rack drawers designed for heavier loads.
