Middle Atlantic RSH4A2XW – Custom 2U Wide Rackshelf, 17.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A2XW is a wide-format 2U custom rack shelf with a 17.5" depth and a black brushed anodized face plate machined for the specific component you name at order time. Built for full-width AV equipment, it mounts non-rackmount gear in any standard 19" rack or enclosure with no modifications. The X depth code positions it between the 15.5" R-series and the 20.5" XX-series, covering the common depth range of full-size consumer electronics.

Product Description

Full-width consumer components such as AV receivers, integrated amplifiers, and premium disc players present a recurring problem in custom installations: they look like rack equipment but have no rack ears and rarely match a 19" opening cleanly. The RSH4A2XW gives that gear a proper home. Its wide-format faceplate spans the component's full front panel, and Middle Atlantic cuts the opening to your exact make and model so the chassis is framed with a tight, intentional reveal. The 17.5" shelf depth supports the majority of full-size home theater and hi-fi chassis without stepping up to the longest 20.5" platform, which keeps cable service room behind the shelf in shallower racks and credenzas. Two rack spaces of height suit slim, wide components while preserving vertical capacity for the rest of the elevation. The brushed black anodized finish matches Middle Atlantic rack blanks and vents, so a single consumer component does not break the look of a professional rack build. Mounting is to standard 19" EIA rail with ordinary rack hardware, making the shelf as easy to add during a retrofit as during a new installation.
