Middle Atlantic RSH4S2X – Custom 2U Rackshelf, 17.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S2X is a custom 2U rackshelf in standard width with a 17.5" usable depth. Its textured black powder-coat steel face plate is cut at the factory to the front profile of the specific equipment you designate, turning a loose tabletop device into a finished rackmount component. The 17.5" depth handles most mid-size AV sources, network appliances, and processors. It mounts in any standard 19" rack or enclosure with no field modification.

Product Description

Most equipment racks accumulate at least a few devices that ship without rack ears: streaming sources, modems, small switches, or control hubs. Setting them on a generic shelf works mechanically but leaves open gaps that look unfinished and let device positions drift over time. The RSH4S2X takes the custom rackmount shelf approach: Middle Atlantic cuts the faceplate to your designated component, so the device is held in a defined position behind a clean opening. The 17.5" depth is a versatile middle ground in the RSH4S series, deep enough for full-size source components yet short enough to leave working room at the back of a standard-depth rack. Steel construction provides a stable platform, and the textured black powder coat matches the finish used across Middle Atlantic rack panels and enclosures. Because the shelf meets the EIA 19" standard, it installs identically in floor racks, wall-mount cabinets, and credenza enclosures. Specifying the cut during ordering means the shelf arrives install-ready, with no hole saws or filler panels needed on site. Find companion rack panels and accessories at Creation Networks.
