Middle Atlantic RSH4A5M – Custom 5U Anodized Rackshelf, 14" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A5M is a custom 5U rack shelf with a 14" platform depth, designed to put non-rackmount AV equipment into a standard 19" rack without modifying the device. Its black brushed anodized faceplate is custom cut around your specified component, producing a finished front panel rather than an open shelf gap. The 14" depth (M depth code) makes it a natural fit for credenza racks, wall cabinets, and other shallow enclosures where the 15.5" and 20.5" RSH4A versions are too deep. Five rack units of height give clearance for taller consumer components.

Product Description

Integrators regularly need to rack a device the manufacturer never intended for rack mounting, and shallow enclosures make the problem harder. The RSH4A5M custom rackmount enclosure shelf from Middle Atlantic pairs a 14-inch deep shelf with a made-to-order anodized face plate so a consumer source, set-top box, or network appliance mounts cleanly in five rack spaces. Because the cutout is cut to the precise dimensions of your equipment, front-panel controls, displays, and disc trays stay fully accessible from the rack face. The shelf handles components up to 17-3/8" wide, which covers most standard consumer chassis; for wider devices, Middle Atlantic offers the RSH4A5MW wide-format companion model. The shallower 14" depth keeps rear cable clearance generous in compact furniture racks and wall-mount enclosures common in conference rooms and retail AV closets. No drilling, adapter brackets, or chassis disassembly is required — the component drops onto the shelf and the trimmed faceplate frames it. The black brushed anodized aluminum finish blends with Middle Atlantic enclosures and other standard 19-inch rack panels, maintaining a uniform commercial appearance across the elevation. Specify your equipment at the time of order and the shelf arrives precision cut, ready to fasten to standard EIA rack rails.
