Middle Atlantic RSH4S4XW – Custom 4U Wide Rackshelf, 17.5 in Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S4XW is a wide-format custom 4U rackshelf built for racking wide-chassis AV components that were never designed for a 19-inch enclosure. Middle Atlantic factory-cuts the textured black powder-coat steel face plate to the front-panel dimensions of the specific component you order it for, so the gear mounts cleanly with no equipment modification. The 17.5-inch shelf depth carries most mid- and full-depth consumer and commercial AV chassis. It pairs naturally with the textured-front racks and panels stocked in the Middle Atlantic lineup at Creation Networks.

Product Description

Standard custom rackshelves work well for typical component widths, but wide-body gear — oversized receivers, certain processors, and broad consumer chassis — needs the wide-format face plate this model provides. The RSH4S4XW is the W variant of Middle Atlantic's RSH4S textured custom rackshelf series: 4 rack spaces tall (7 inches) with a 17.5-inch deep shelf platform sized for the X depth class. When you order, you specify the exact make and model of the component to be mounted; the face plate arrives custom-cut so the unit's front panel presents flush in the rack with no gaps or improvised trim. Because the component sits on the shelf rather than hanging from screws or its own faceplate, connectors and chassis stay unstressed during installation and service pulls. The textured black powder coat matches Middle Atlantic textured rack faces, blank panels, and vents — specify the anodized RSH4A equivalent instead if your rack uses brushed-finish panels. Typical installs include residential equipment racks, conference room rack builds, and rental or staging systems where a non-rack component must travel securely. No drilling or fabrication is required; the shelf mounts to standard EIA 19-inch rack rails.
