Middle Atlantic RSH4A5MW – Custom 5U Wide Anodized Rackshelf, 14" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A5MW is the wide-format version of the company's custom 5U rack shelf, built for non-rackmount AV components that exceed the width capacity of the standard RSH shelf. Like every shelf in the RSH4A line, it arrives with a black brushed anodized faceplate custom cut to your specified equipment, so the device mounts in a standard 19" rack without any modification. The 14" shelf depth (M depth code) suits compact and medium-depth chassis. It is the right pick when a wide consumer source or appliance needs a finished, front-accessible rack position.

Product Description

Wide-chassis consumer equipment is one of the most common fit problems in commercial and residential AV racks. The RSH4A5MW from Middle Atlantic addresses it directly: a 5U wide rack shelf for non-rackmount equipment whose anodized face plate is made to order around the exact footprint of your component. Where a generic vented shelf leaves an open gap around the device, the custom cutout frames it cleanly, keeping front-panel buttons, displays, and media trays usable from the rack face. The W designation in the model number indicates the wide format, giving extra lateral room beyond the standard RSH4A5M while keeping the same 14" depth and 5U height. That makes this custom rackmount enclosure shelf a strong match for wide-body receivers, cable and satellite equipment, and oversized media players that shallower or narrower shelves cannot frame properly. The black brushed anodized aluminum finish coordinates with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and standard 19-inch rack panels, so the finished elevation reads as a single integrated system. Installation requires no changes to the mounted device; the shelf bolts to standard EIA rack rails like any other 5-space panel. Provide your component model when ordering and the faceplate ships precision cut and ready to install.
