Middle Atlantic RSH4S5M – Custom 5U Textured Rackshelf, 14" Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S5M is a custom rackmount shelf that puts non-rackmount components into a standard 19" rack or enclosure without drilling, brackets, or any modification to the equipment. Middle Atlantic fabricates the steel face plate with a cutout matched to the specific component you order it for, finished in textured black powder coat. The 5U height and 14" depth suit taller mid-depth gear in both equipment rooms and shallower wall-mount racks.

Product Description

A finished rack elevation depends on every device presenting a clean front panel, but consumer electronics and specialty AV gear rarely come rack-ready. The RSH4S5M addresses this with a component-specific approach: rather than a universal tray with adjustable clamps, the shelf's face plate is cut at the factory to the exact faceplate dimensions of your equipment, so the device sits flush behind a textured black panel that matches the rest of the rack. Within the RSH4S series naming, the 5 denotes a 5U rack height with 8.75" of vertical clearance, and the M depth code denotes the 14" shelf platform, a useful middle ground that supports most set-top boxes, disc players, and compact receivers without demanding a deep enclosure. The textured powder coat finish is the defining trait of the RSH4S line, complementing textured rack rails and blank panels where the anodized RSH4A series would not match. The completed shelf installs with standard rack screws in any EIA 19-inch rack, and the mounted component remains accessible for service and cabling from the rear. For integrators standardizing on Middle Atlantic hardware, Creation Networks stocks the full range of Middle Atlantic rack shelves and accessories.
