Middle Atlantic RSH4A2MW – Custom 2U Wide Rackshelf, 14" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A2MW is a custom 2U rackshelf enclosure that lets integrators mount non-rackmount AV components in any standard 19" equipment rack without modifying the gear. Part of the RSH4A series, it pairs a 14"-deep shelf body with a black brushed anodized face plate that is custom-cut to match the front profile of the specific component it houses. The wide-format design gives larger source devices and processors the lateral clearance a standard shelf cannot. The result is a factory-finished rackmount appearance for equipment that was never built for the rack.

Product Description

Most AV racks contain at least one component that ships without rack ears: streaming players, small-form-factor PCs, consumer source devices, or compact processors. The RSH4A2MW solves this with a custom rackmount enclosure approach rather than a generic tray. Middle Atlantic cuts the anodized face plate opening to fit the exact component face, so the device sits behind a clean, integrated panel instead of an open shelf gap. The 2U (3.5") rack height suits mid-size chassis, while the 14" shelf depth (depth code M in the RSH4A series) handles deeper components than the entry 11.5" version. The wide-body format, indicated by the trailing W in the model number, accommodates components that exceed standard shelf width limits. The black brushed anodized finish matches Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and blends with surrounding rack panels for a uniform front-of-rack appearance. Because the enclosure mounts to standard EIA 19" rack rails, no drilling, bracket fabrication, or equipment modification is required. This makes the RSH4A2MW a practical choice for residential AV racks, conference room credenza racks, and equipment closets where presentation and serviceability both matter. Each unit is built to order around the component you specify, which keeps the fit precise and the installation fast.

Key Features

• Custom-Cut Face Plate — The black brushed anodized face plate is cut to match the exact front profile of your specified component for a finished, integrated look.
• 2U Rack Height — Occupies two rack units (3.5") in any standard EIA 19" rack or enclosure.
• 14" Shelf Depth — The mid-depth M-series body supports deeper chassis than the standard 11.5" RSH shelf.
• Wide-Format Body — The W designation provides extra lateral clearance for components wider than a standard shelf opening allows.
• No Equipment Modification — Mounts non-rackmount AV gear in the rack without drilling, adapters, or changes to the component itself.
• Matched Rack Aesthetics — Black brushed anodized finish coordinates with Middle Atlantic racks and blank panels for a consistent front-of-rack appearance.
