Middle Atlantic RSH4A4MW – Custom 4U Wide Rackshelf, 14" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A4MW is the wide-format member of the RSH4A custom rackshelf family, built to put wider non-rackmount components into a standard 19" rack or enclosure without any modification. It provides 4U of rack height with a 14" shelf depth, and its black brushed and anodized face plate is custom-cut around the specific device you order it for. For integrators dealing with wide-chassis consumer sources or oversized desktop gear, the trailing "W" in the model number signals the extra lateral clearance that separates this shelf from the standard RSH4A4M.

Product Description

Wide-chassis components are a recurring headache in rack integration: many residential receivers, disc players, and media sources are wider than a typical custom shelf cutout allows. The Middle Atlantic RSH4A4MW custom 4U wide rackshelf addresses exactly this case. Like every shelf in the RSH4A series, it arrives with an anodized black brushed face plate machined for the make and model you specify, so the device's front panel sits framed and accessible in the rack elevation.

Reading the model number tells you the configuration: RSH4A is the custom anodized-face rackshelf platform, the 4 indicates four rack spaces of height, M is the 14" depth code, and W designates the wide format. The 14" depth suits the majority of consumer and light-commercial components while keeping rear-of-rack space free for power and cable management. If your component is deeper, the series also offers 15.5" and 20.5" depth options.

The shelf mounts to standard EIA rail holes in any 19" rack or enclosure, so there is no drilling and the mounted component itself is never altered. Because each face plate is cut to order, supply the exact equipment model when purchasing so the cutout matches its front-panel profile. Shipping weight is 9 lb in a 22 x 18 x 2" carton. Pair it with rack frames, power distribution, and blank panels from the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks to finish the build.

Key Features

• Wide-Format Design — The W variant provides added lateral clearance for wide-chassis components that exceed the cutout width of the standard RSH4A4M shelf.
• Custom-Cut Anodized Face Plate — Black brushed and anodized 4U face plate machined to the specific component you specify at order time.
• 4U Rack Height — Four rack spaces accommodate taller sources and processors that low-profile shelves cannot hold.
• 14" Shelf Depth — The M depth code fits most consumer and light-commercial AV components while preserving rear-of-rack cable space.
• Standard 19" Mounting — Bolts to existing EIA rail holes in any 19" rack or enclosure; no drilling or component modification required.
• Uniform Rack Aesthetic — The anodized black brushed finish matches Middle Atlantic racks and accessory panels for a consistent equipment elevation.
