Middle Atlantic RSH4A2SW – Custom 2U Wide Rackshelf, 11.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A2SW is a custom 2U wide rackshelf enclosure built for non-rackmount components that exceed the width of a standard shelf opening. Its black brushed and anodized face plate is custom-cut at the factory to your specified equipment, delivering a rackmount-quality front panel without any field modification. The shallow 11.5" shelf depth keeps the footprint short, preserving rear rack space for cabling and power in any 19" rack or enclosure. For wide, shallow consumer and pro AV gear, it is the most space-efficient option in the 2U RSH4A lineup.

Product Description

Wide-chassis components — oversized media devices, wide-format processors, and consumer gear that pushes past standard shelf limits — are awkward to rack cleanly. The RSH4A2SW addresses this with Middle Atlantic's wide-format custom shelf platform: the trailing W in the model number designates the wide version, designed for equipment broader than the 17-3/8" capacity of the standard-width RSH4A2S.

The rest of the model code follows the RSH4A convention. The 2 specifies a 2-space (2U) rack height, and the S depth code indicates an 11.5" shelf — the shallowest depth in the series, well matched to set-top boxes, network appliances, and compact sources that do not need a deep platform. Because every face plate is cut to order, provide the make and model of the component you plan to mount when ordering so the opening matches your gear exactly.

Installation is straightforward: the shelf mounts in any EIA-standard 19" rack rail pair, and the anodized finish blends with Middle Atlantic blanks and vent panels across your Middle Atlantic rack build. Need a deeper wide shelf for the same width class? Step up to the RSH4A2RW at 15.5" deep.

Key Features

• Wide-Format Shelf — The W designation accommodates non-rackmount equipment wider than the standard-width series limit of 17-3/8".
• Factory Custom Cutout — The black brushed and anodized face plate is precision-cut to your specified component for a clean, finished elevation.
• Compact 11.5" Depth — The shallowest depth in the RSH4A series frees rear rack space for cable management and power distribution.
• 2U Height — Uses two rack spaces (3.5") in any standard 19" rack or credenza enclosure.
• Zero Field Modification — Mounts consumer and small-form-factor gear without drilling, cutting, or custom brackets on site.
• Matched Anodized Finish — Coordinates with Middle Atlantic rack panels for a uniform front-of-rack appearance.
