Product Information

Full details

The StarTech.com 2U Sliding Server Rack Mount Shelf (UNISLDSHF19) is designed for IT professionals and enthusiasts who need to install non-rack-mountable equipment into standard 19-inch server cabinets or open racks. Its key benefit is providing a secure, extendable platform for devices like switches, routers, or AV equipment, with a maximum weight capacity of 50 lbs (22.7 kg). A minor caveat is the specific mounting depth range, which requires careful measurement of your existing rack. This heavy-duty shelf is constructed from ventilated, cold-rolled steel and features locking rails for added safety during maintenance.
