Middle Atlantic RSH4S4S – Custom 4U Rackshelf, 11.5 in Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S4S is the shallow-depth member of the RSH4S custom 4U rackshelf series, built to rack non-rackmount AV components in a standard 19-inch enclosure without modifying the equipment. Its steel face plate arrives factory-cut to the front-panel dimensions of the component you specify and is finished in textured black powder coat. The compact 11.5-inch shelf depth suits set-top boxes, streaming players, and other short-chassis devices, especially in shallow wall racks. Pair it with racks and panels from the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks.

Product Description

Small-format devices are some of the hardest gear to rack cleanly — they have no ears, odd faceplates, and rarely match the width of anything else in the enclosure. The RSH4S4S turns that problem into a single ordered part: specify the make and model of the component, and Middle Atlantic cuts the 4-space (7-inch) textured face plate so the device's front panel sits flush in the opening. At 11.5 inches deep, this S-depth shelf is the shortest platform in the series, clearing shallow wall-mount cabinets and tight equipment niches where a 17.5- or 20.5-inch shelf physically will not fit. The device rests on the shelf surface with its weight fully supported, so there is no strain on the chassis when cables are dressed or the unit is serviced. Choose this textured powder-coat version when the rack is trimmed with Middle Atlantic textured blanks and vents; the RSH4A anodized series serves brushed-finish builds. A wide-format sibling, the RSH4S4SW, covers broad-chassis devices at the same depth. Mounting hardware engages standard EIA 19-inch rack rails, keeping installation to a screwdriver job in residential systems, classroom racks, and commercial wall enclosures.
