Middle Atlantic RSH4A4RW – Custom 4U Wide Rackshelf, 15.5" Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A4RW is a wide-format custom 4U rackshelf enclosure with a 15.5-inch-deep base for installing non-rackmount equipment in a standard 19-inch rack. Middle Atlantic custom cuts the black brushed anodized face plate to the precise outline of the component you specify, so the device presents through a clean 4U panel with no gaps and no modification to the equipment. The R-depth platform sits between the shallow 11.5-inch and full 17.5-inch options in the RSH4A series, handling mid-depth components without consuming unnecessary rear rack space. The wide format accepts larger-chassis devices than the standard RSH4A4R.

Product Description

Many AV components fall into an awkward middle ground: too deep for a shallow shelf, yet far short of full rack depth. The RSH4A4RW is built for exactly that class of equipment. Its 15.5-inch base supports mid-depth devices such as disc players, preamps, and source components fully from front to back while leaving rear clearance for power and signal cabling in the bay behind the shelf.

Like every shelf in the RSH series with anodized face plate, this unit is produced to order. You identify the component at purchase, and Middle Atlantic cuts the 4U face plate to its measured footprint using the company's component dimension database. The opening frames the front of the device exactly, eliminating the open gaps and improvised filler panels that come with generic rack shelves. The W suffix indicates the wide-format build, which accommodates components with a wider chassis than the standard-width version of this shelf.

The face plate's black brushed anodized finish is the same treatment used across Middle Atlantic's panel line, so the shelf disappears into a professionally finished elevation alongside blanks, vents, and other RSH enclosures. Confirm the exact make and model of your component before ordering; the integration team at Creation Networks can verify the cutout specification for your rack build.
