Middle Atlantic UFA-8-4 – 1U Universal Face-After Shelf, 8" Deep, 4-Pack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UFA-8-4 is a four-pack of 1-space (1U) Universal Face-After rack shelves, each 8" deep, for mounting small devices at the front or rear of an equipment rack. The Face-After design lets installers attach a covering faceplate after the shelf is mounted and populated, so cabling and device placement are finished before the rack face is closed up. Steel construction with a black powder coat finish matches standard Middle Atlantic enclosures. The 4-pack quantity suits integrators outfitting multiple racks or stocking shelf hardware for ongoing commercial AV projects.

Product Description

Small devices are a persistent rack integration challenge: media converters, power supplies, modems, and signal extenders rarely come with rack ears, yet they still need secure mounting and clean cable management. The UFA Series small device mounting shelf solves this with a 1U shelf that installs in the front or rear rackrail and provides tie-down points for securing devices and dressing cables. What sets the Universal Face-After design apart is the mounting sequence. Conventional shelves with integral faceplates force the installer to work around the plate while placing equipment. With the UFA-8-4, each shelf is installed and fully populated first, then a faceplate is added afterward for an attractive, secure covering across the rack face. The 8" depth handles compact electronics without intruding on rear-of-rack cable paths, making it a fit for credenza racks, classroom lecterns, and shallow wall-mount enclosures as well as full-height equipment racks. Each shelf mounts with standard 10-32 or 6mm rack screws into the rackrail, so no proprietary hardware is needed during installation. Buying the 4-pack keeps unit cost down for integration firms that use small device shelves on nearly every commercial deployment. Pair these shelves with lacing bars and faceplates from the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks to finish the rack build.
