Middle Atlantic U1MP – U1 1RU Utility Rack Shelf 50-Pack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic U1MP is a 50-piece master pack of the U1 1RU utility rack shelf, built for AV integration firms and IT departments that install rack shelves at volume across commercial deployments. Each shelf occupies one rack space and provides a 10.8-inch deep platform for mounting half-rack and non-rackmount components in standard 19-inch equipment racks. Ordering the master pack puts a full skid of individually packaged shelves in your warehouse, so project teams can pull stock job by job instead of placing repeat single-unit orders. It is a practical inventory position for integrators standardizing on Middle Atlantic rack accessories.

Product Description

The U1 utility rack shelf is one of the most frequently specified accessories in commercial AV rack building, and the U1MP master pack supplies it in the quantity volume installers actually consume. Each shelf is formed from welded steel with a black powder coat finish, giving it the rigidity to carry source components, network appliances, modulators, and small-form-factor devices that lack their own rack ears. The 1RU height keeps rack elevations compact, while the 10.8-inch depth suits the shallow electronics common in conference room and headend racks. Because every shelf in the pack is individually packaged, units stay protected in storage and can be issued to technicians or kitted into project bins without repacking. The 50 shelves ship together on a skid, simplifying receiving for purchasing and warehouse teams. For integrators delivering multi-room corporate fit-outs, campus refreshes, or rollout programs across many sites, buying shelf hardware as a master pack reduces per-unit cost handling and keeps a critical consumable on hand. The U1MP pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic enclosures and rack accessories already on your line card.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the U1 shelf fit racks other than Middle Atlantic enclosures?

Yes. The U1 mounts in any standard EIA 19-inch rack rail, so it works in Middle Atlantic enclosures as well as other standard commercial racks.

How does the U1MP differ from ordering individual U1 shelves?

The hardware is identical. The U1MP is a bulk purchasing format that delivers 50 individually packaged U1 shelves on one skid, which simplifies procurement and stocking for integration firms.

What kind of equipment is this shelf intended to hold?

The 1RU, 10.8-inch deep platform suits non-rackmount AV and IT components such as media players, small switches, control processors, and power supplies that need a stable mounting surface in the rack.

How does the shelf install?

Each shelf attaches to the front rack rail at standard EIA hole spacing using rack screws, occupying one rack space. No special tools are required beyond a screwdriver.

Does the master pack require freight shipping?

Yes. Because the 50 shelves ship on a skid, the U1MP is delivered as palletized freight. Contact Creation Networks for delivery details on dock-height or liftgate requirements.

Is the U1MP covered by a warranty?

Middle Atlantic backs its rack shelves and accessories with a manufacturer warranty. Creation Networks is an authorized dealer, so every shelf in the pack carries full factory coverage.

Can Creation Networks help spec shelves for a larger rack project?

Yes. Our commercial AV team can help you build a complete Middle Atlantic bill of materials, from enclosures to shelves and power, sized to your project requirements.
