Middle Atlantic RSH4S5RW – Custom 5U Wide Textured Rackshelf, 15.5" Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S5RW is a custom 5U rack shelf built to mount non-rackmount AV equipment in any standard 19" rack or enclosure without modifying the component. Its steel face plate is custom-cut at the factory to match the exact chassis dimensions of your specified gear, then finished in textured black powder coat for a clean, integrated look. The wide-format design and 15.5" shelf depth suit larger source components, amplifiers, and media players that standard shelves cannot dress out properly.

Product Description

Half-rack media players, consumer disc players, and compact amplifiers rarely ship with rack ears, which leaves integrators choosing between open vented shelves and unfinished gaps in the rack elevation. The RSH4S5RW solves this with a custom rackmount shelf for non-rackmount AV equipment: Middle Atlantic cuts the face plate opening to your component's exact faceplate profile, so the unit sits flush behind a finished panel. As part of the RSH4S series, this model uses a textured black powder coat finish on the steel face plate, matching the look of textured rack rails and blank panels; it is the textured-finish sibling of the anodized RSH4A line. The shelf occupies 5 rack units (8.75" of vertical rack space) and provides a 15.5" deep platform, giving full support under deeper components rather than leaving them cantilevered. The wide (W) format accommodates wider equipment chassis within the custom cutout. Because each shelf is produced for a specific component, you order the RSH4S5RW against the make and model of the gear you are mounting, and the finished assembly installs like any standard rack shelf in a 19-inch equipment rack. This keeps residential AV racks, conference room credenza racks, and broadcast equipment rooms looking uniform while preserving airflow and serviceability. Pair it with other Middle Atlantic rack accessories from Creation Networks to complete the build.
