Middle Atlantic RSH4S3S – Custom 3U Rack Shelf, 11.5" Depth

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S3S is a custom 3U rack shelf built from 16-gauge steel with a textured black powder-coat finish and a face plate custom cut to the component you specify. At 11.5 inches deep, it is the most compact standard-width shelf in the 3U RSH4S series, intended for shallow racks and short-chassis equipment. It installs in any standard 19-inch rack or enclosure and requires no modification to the mounted component. The cut opening frames the device's front panel for a clean, factory-finished appearance.

Product Description

Plenty of essential AV gear — compact media players, small-format processors, set-top devices — ships in chassis only a few inches deep. Mounting that equipment on a full-depth shelf wastes rack volume and leaves an unsupported overhang of empty steel. The RSH4S3S matches the shelf to the gear: an 11.5-inch platform that fits shallow wall-mount racks and tight equipment closets where deeper shelves cannot go.

Middle Atlantic custom cuts the 16-gauge steel face plate to the exact front-panel dimensions of the component you are mounting, working from its database of measured devices. The result is a snug opening with no gaps — the component looks rack-native rather than shelved. The shelf body is 17.38 inches wide, sized for standard-width components; wider devices should step up to the RSH4S3SW wide version. The shelf remains fully portable when not installed in a rack, which suits staging and bench-testing workflows. Its textured black powder coat matches the rest of a Middle Atlantic rack build. Supply your component's make and model when ordering, and Creation Networks can verify the fit before the cut is made.
