Middle Atlantic CAP8 – 8-Space Clamping Rackshelf

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic CAP8 is an 8-space clamping rackshelf from the CAP Series, built to hold non-rackmount components securely inside a 19-inch equipment rack. Rubber-lined clamps grip equipment from the top while adjustable rear L brackets keep units from being pushed back. Heavy 16-gauge steel construction and a vented design make it suitable for both fixed installations and mobile applications.

Product Description

Plenty of AV gear was never designed for rack rails: streaming boxes, cable receivers, small-format processors, and consumer source components all need a shelf, and they all need to stay put. The Middle Atlantic CAP8 clamping rackshelf captivates components with rubber-lined clamps that secure each unit from the top without marring its chassis. Adjustable rear L brackets add a second layer of retention, preventing components from being pushed backward when cables are connected or the rack is moved. The 8-space (8RU) shelf provides a usable area of 17.38 inches wide by 15.10 inches deep, enough for taller components or stacked gear that a low-profile shelf cannot handle. Vented sides and a vented bottom promote efficient cooling, letting convection move heat away from components that run warm. The shelf is formed from 16-gauge steel that maintains structural integrity in mobile and transport applications, and the durable black powder coat finish matches Middle Atlantic racks and panels. To save shipping volume and storage space, the CAP8 ships ready-to-assemble. It is a practical answer for integrators racking mixed equipment in residential AV systems, broadcast carts, and rental-and-staging builds.
