Middle Atlantic CSB – Cantilever Support Base for RL Series Racks

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic CSB cantilever support base adds stability to RL Series steel 2-post racks in AV and IT installations. It is designed for rack configurations where cantilever shelves carry heavy equipment and the center of gravity shifts toward the rear of the rack. Built from sturdy steel with a black powder coat finish, the CSB is a straightforward way to improve the footing of a loaded relay rack.

Product Description

Two-post relay racks are an efficient way to mount network and AV equipment, but they depend on a balanced load. When integrators add cantilever shelves to hold amplifiers, network switches, or other heavy gear, the weight extends behind the rack frame and the center of gravity moves rearward. The Middle Atlantic CSB cantilever support base counteracts that shift by widening the effective base of RL Series steel 2-post racks. The result is a more stable rack stance under rear-loaded conditions, which matters in equipment rooms, telecom closets, and head-end spaces where racks are not always anchored on every side. The CSB installs at the base of the rack and works as a tip-resistance upgrade for both new builds and retrofits where shelf-mounted equipment has been added over time. Sturdy steel construction stands up to mechanical stress, and the black powder coat finish matches the look of Middle Atlantic rack frames and accessories. For integrators specifying RL Series racks with cantilever shelving, adding the CSB at the design stage is an inexpensive way to address load stability before equipment goes in. Pair it with other rack hardware and accessories from Creation Networks to complete the installation.
