Middle Atlantic RSH4A2RW – Custom 2U Wide Rackshelf, 15.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A2RW is a custom 2U wide rackshelf enclosure that brings oversized, non-rackmount components into a standard 19" rack without any field modification. The wide format handles equipment that exceeds the 17-3/8" limit of standard-width shelves, while the 15.5" shelf depth supports mid-depth chassis securely. Every unit ships with a black brushed and anodized face plate custom-cut by Middle Atlantic to the component you specify. The outcome is a wide consumer or pro device that looks and mounts like purpose-built rack gear.

Product Description

Wide-chassis equipment is one of the harder problems in rack integration: it will not sit cleanly on a standard shelf, and improvised mounting looks unfinished. The RSH4A2RW resolves both issues. The trailing W in the model number identifies Middle Atlantic's wide shelf format, and the factory-cut anodized face plate frames your component's front panel so the rack elevation stays consistent from top to bottom.

The remaining model code follows the RSH4A naming convention: 2 indicates a 2-space (2U) height, and the R depth code specifies a 15.5" shelf. That mid-range depth strikes a practical balance — enough platform for substantial gear, while still leaving rear clearance for connectors and cable dressing in most equipment racks and credenzas. Specify the make and model of your component at the time of order so the cutout arrives ready for installation.

The shelf fastens to any EIA-standard 19" rack rail and its anodized finish coordinates with the panels and accessories in the Middle Atlantic lineup. If your wide component is shallower, the RSH4A2SW offers the same wide format at 11.5" deep.

Key Features
