Middle Atlantic MS-5.5-4 – 1/2-Space Mounting Shelf, 5.5" Deep, 4-Pack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic MS-5.5-4 is a four-pack of half-space (1/2 RU) small device mounting shelves, each 5.5 inches deep, designed to mount compact equipment in the front or rear of any standard rack. A dense pattern of holes and slots accommodates nearly any device mounting hole pattern and doubles as tie-down points for cable management. The shallow 5.5-inch depth suits power supplies, baluns, and small converters where the deeper MS-11-4 would intrude on rear cabling space. Shelves install with standard 10-32 or 5mm rack screws into threaded rackrail.

Product Description

Small devices are the persistent untidiness of AV racks: wall-wart power supplies, HDMI extenders, network media converters, and control interfaces that have no rack ears of their own. The MS series mounting shelf gives each of them a secure, half-rack-space home. The MS-5.5-4 is the shallow member of the family at 5.5 inches deep, leaving generous clearance behind the shelf for service loops and vertical cable runs, while the MS-11-4 covers deeper gear at 11 inches. Each shelf's punched pattern of holes and slots lines up with nearly any mounting hole arrangement, so devices can be bolted down directly; the same openings accept wire ties, hook-and-loop straps, and other fastening approaches for gear without mounting holes. Plentiful tie-down points along the shelf keep associated cabling dressed and strain-relieved at the device. Despite the compact half-space profile, the steel construction is strong for its size and carries a black finish that matches standard rack hardware. Shelves mount at the front or rear of the rack and must be installed with standard 10-32 or 5mm rack screws into threaded rackrail. The 4-pack quantity outfits multiple rack locations in a single part number. Find the full MS shelf series and rack accessories at Creation Networks.
