Middle Atlantic Custom Shelf, 1 RU, 11.5"D, Anodized

The Middle Atlantic Custom Shelf is a purpose-built, professional-grade solution for mounting and organizing equipment inside a standard 19" rack. Engineered to maximize space without compromising accessibility, this 1U shelf provides a versatile foundation for a wide range of components—from patch panels and small digital interfaces to power supplies and compact AV gear. Crafted with an anodized aluminum finish, it delivers lasting durability, lightweight handling, and a sleek, maintenance-friendly surface that resists wear in demanding environments. The shelf is custom cut to provide a perfect opening for the face of the component you are mounting, ensuring a clean, precise fit that enhances airflow, simplifies cable management, and reduces installation time. Whether you’re outfitting a recording studio, broadcast control room, data center cabinet, or home theater rack, this shelf adapts to your space and helps keep gear organized, accessible, and visually cohesive.

  • 1U height with 11.5" depth: Optimizes vertical rack real estate while providing ample horizontal room to accommodate a broad array of components, cables, and small peripherals without crowding adjacent gear.
  • Custom-cut face opening: Precise, tailored opening ensures a snug, professional fit around the component’s face, promoting clean aesthetics, minimal vibration, and improved front-end accessibility for quick servicing.
  • Anodized aluminum finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant surface that stands up to humid studios, server rooms, or instrument racks. The anodized layer also provides a low-friction surface for easy insertion and removal of gear.
  • Versatile rack integration: Designed for virtually any standard 19" enclosure, the shelf supports efficient storage, organization, and cable management while keeping the footprint compact in tight setups.
  • Easy installation and maintenance: Built for straightforward mounting with standard hardware, enabling fast setup, simple reconfiguration, and long-term reliability in busy environments.

how to install Middle Atlantic Custom Shelf

  • Power down and unplug any equipment in the rack, and carefully remove the components you plan to place on the shelf to create a clear work area.
  • Position the shelf at the desired vertical location within the 19" enclosure, aligning mounting holes with the rack rails to ensure a straight, level fit.
  • Secure the shelf using the appropriate rack screws through the mounting holes on the shelf’s sides or ears. Tighten gradually in a crisscross pattern to prevent warping and to maintain level alignment.
  • Place your component onto the shelf so that its face opening aligns with the custom-cut opening, then verify that the component rests securely and sits flush with the rack face without overhang.
  • Route cables neatly, label connections, and test power and signal paths. Re-check alignment after cables are connected to ensure ventilation margins remain clear and airflow is not obstructed.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Will this shelf fit all 19" enclosures?
  • A: It is designed for standard 19" rack systems and 1U configurations. Always verify your enclosure’s internal dimensions, mounting hole spacing, and available depth to ensure a perfect match with the 11.5" depth and 1U height.
  • Q: What is the finish and material of the shelf?
  • A: The shelf features an anodized aluminum finish for durability, corrosion resistance, and a professional look that complements other rack hardware.
  • Q: Can the face opening be adjusted after manufacture?
  • A: The face opening is factory-cut to fit the intended component. In most cases, customization after purchase would require new fabrication or retrofitting to maintain fit and performance.
  • Q: Is this shelf suitable for heavy equipment?
  • A: While the shelf is built for robust, professional use, always confirm the weight rating for your specific component and ensure the enclosure and mounting hardware are rated to support it safely. Distribute weight evenly and do not exceed the enclosure’s rated load.
