Middle Atlantic RSH4A4SW – Custom 4U Wide Rackshelf, 11.5" Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A4SW is a wide-format custom 4U rackshelf with an 11.5-inch-deep base, designed to integrate short-chassis, non-rackmount equipment into a standard 19-inch AV rack. The black brushed anodized face plate is custom cut to the component you specify, so the device sits behind a trimmed, gap-free 4U panel rather than an open shelf. The shallow S-depth platform is matched to compact electronics that would waste space on a full-depth shelf, while the wide format covers larger-chassis devices than the standard RSH4A4S. It installs in any standard rack or enclosure with no modification to the equipment.

Product Description

Compact AV components are some of the hardest items to rack neatly: media players, small-format processors, and similar short-depth gear tend to end up loose on vented shelves with unfinished openings around them. The RSH4A4SW addresses this with a custom-cut face plate. At the time of order, you identify the component going into the enclosure, and Middle Atlantic cuts the 4U anodized face to that device's exact profile using its component measurement database, producing a snug factory-finished fit.

This is the shallowest depth in the RSH4A series at 11.5 inches, which keeps the enclosure from intruding into rear rack space needed for cabling, power distribution, or deeper equipment mounted nearby. The W designation indicates the wide-format build, sized for components with a wider chassis than the standard-width shelf accepts. Despite the short footprint, the shelf maintains the full 19-inch rackmount face and the 4U panel height, so taller compact devices are covered cleanly.

The black brushed anodized finish coordinates with Middle Atlantic blank panels, vent panels, and other RSH shelves in the same rack, keeping the elevation visually consistent. Because each unit is cut to order, confirm your component make and model at purchase; the AV team at Creation Networks can help verify fit before the shelf is produced.
