Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A8X is an 8U custom rackmount enclosure with a 17.5-inch depth, built for professional AV and IT installations requiring extended equipment clearance in a standard-width rack. Fabricated from heavy-gauge aluminum with a black brushed anodized finish, this open-shelf enclosure delivers structural integrity and a clean professional appearance across demanding deployment environments. The 8U height and 17.5-inch depth make the RSH4A8X well suited to larger signal processing chains, multi-channel amplification, and network infrastructure builds. Priced under $300, it represents strong value for AV integrators and IT managers sourcing reliable rackmount hardware.

Product Description

The RSH4A8X is a member of Middle Atlantic's RSH4A series, a line of custom rackmount enclosures designed to satisfy the structural and dimensional requirements of professional AV integration, IT infrastructure, and broadcast environments. A 17.5-inch usable depth accommodates a wide category of standard and deep-chassis equipment, including multi-channel amplifiers, managed switches, signal processors, and high-density patch panels, without requiring the oversized footprint of a 20-inch enclosure. The black brushed anodized aluminum finish resists corrosion and surface wear, maintaining a consistent professional look in both visible and concealed rack locations. Open-shelf construction allows unrestricted access to rear cable connections and facilitates natural convective airflow, reducing thermal management concerns in densely loaded racks. The 8U vertical clearance supports multi-component system builds commonly found in conference centers, broadcast control rooms, and enterprise IT closets. RSH4A series enclosures are built to Middle Atlantic's exacting tolerances, ensuring proper alignment with standard 19-inch EIA rack rails and reliable long-term performance. All units ship from authorized distribution with full manufacturer support. Available exclusively at creationnetworks.net.
