Middle Atlantic RSH4A5SW – Custom 5U Wide Rackshelf, 11.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A5SW is a custom 5U wide rackshelf with an 11.5" depth, designed for mounting compact non-rackmount equipment in a standard 19" rack without altering the component. Like every shelf in the RSH4A series, its black brushed and anodized face plate is custom cut to your device's exact dimensions for a clean, gap-free fit. The shallow 11.5" platform paired with a wide-format opening makes it the 5U choice for short-depth but wide-bodied gear.

Product Description

Plenty of AV devices are wide and tall but surprisingly shallow — certain media players, control processors, and specialty audio components occupy a broad footprint without needing much rack depth. The RSH4A5SW custom rack shelf targets exactly that equipment profile. Its 11.5" depth (the S depth code in Middle Atlantic's RSH4A naming) leaves more open space behind the shelf for cable management, power distribution, and airflow in shallow racks and credenza enclosures. The five-rack-space height gives generous vertical clearance, and the wide-format face plate opening handles components too broad for the standard-width RSH4A5S. Middle Atlantic precision cuts the anodized face plate to your component specification, so the installed device appears built into the rack rather than placed on a shelf. Mounting uses standard 19" rail spacing, making the shelf compatible with wall racks, slim enclosures, and full equipment racks alike. The component itself is never drilled or modified, preserving its warranty and finish. Lighter than its deeper siblings at 5.8 lb packaged, it is also the practical pick where rack weight budgets are tight.
