Middle Atlantic RSH4S3RW – Custom 3U Wide Rack Shelf, 15.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S3RW is a wide-format custom 3U rack shelf with a textured black powder-coat steel face plate, cut at the factory to match the front panel of the component you specify. The 15.5-inch depth sits in the middle of the wide RSH4S range, balancing chassis support with rear clearance for cabling and connectors. It mounts in any standard 19-inch rack or enclosure, and the component itself needs no modification. The finished opening is snug, trimmed, and free of gaps.

Product Description

Wide-body consumer electronics rarely conform to rack dimensions, and forcing them onto a generic shelf leaves an unfinished front elevation. The RSH4S3RW pairs a wide shelf platform with a face plate that Middle Atlantic custom cuts to your component's exact dimensions, pulled from a measurement database covering more than 8,000 devices. The component drops in behind the plate and presents through a precisely sized opening.

The 15.5-inch depth handles mid-length wide chassis while preserving working room at the rear of the rack for power and signal connections — a practical middle ground between the shallow 11.5-inch and extended 17.5-inch wide models. A ventilated bottom panel lets air circulate beneath the mounted chassis to limit heat buildup, and the included rear brackets stop the component from sliding backward once installed. The textured black powder-coat steel matches Middle Atlantic vent panels, blanks, and rack accessories so the shelf disappears into the elevation. When ordering, list the make and model of the equipment to be mounted; Creation Networks can check the Middle Atlantic database to confirm this is the correct depth and format for your device.
