With a compact 2U height and standard 19" rack compatibility, it maximizes cabling organization, accessibility, and airflow, helping you build tidy, scalable rack environments without compromising strength or reliability.

  • Optimized 19" rack compatibility and compact 2U height — The shelf is designed to fit within a standard 19" EIA-310 rack system, occupying just 2U of rack space. This compact profile makes it easy to add flexible storage for networking gear and peripherals without sacrificing valuable vertical space for other equipment. Its cantilever mounting design allows for straightforward installation in most standard racks, enabling quick deployment and easy access to devices at the front of the rack.
  • Heavy-duty steel construction with durable finish — Built to endure the rigors of data centers and IT closets, this fixed shelf employs a robust steel cantilever frame protected by a long-lasting black powder-coated finish. The combination of rigid steel support and a corrosion-resistant coating provides reliable performance over time, even in high-density rack environments with frequent equipment changes and cable movements.
  • High payload capacity for diverse equipment — With a practical 50 lb (22.7 kg) load rating, the shelf accommodates a wide variety of devices, from switchgear and routers to NAS units and compact servers. This generous capacity helps you consolidate equipment in a single rack location, reducing clutter and improving cable management, airflow, and serviceability for critical IT gear.
  • Easy installation and compatibility with standard hardware — The Vertiv fixed shelf ships with the necessary mounting hardware for standard 19" racks, allowing for quick, tool-friendly installation. The fixed design provides a stable, vibration-free surface for sensitive equipment and minimizes movement when you access devices or adjust cables. This makes it an excellent choice for rack deployments where equipment is frequently serviced or swapped.
  • Versatile, adaptable storage for networking and IT gear — Beyond supporting switches and routers, the shelf is suitable for small servers, storage modules, patch panels, and other 19" rack-mount components. Its sturdy construction and straightforward layout enable effortless organization, simplifying inventory management, cable routing, and airflow optimization within dense rack environments.

How to install Vertiv 2U 19" Fixed Shelf

  • Prepare the rack area by ensuring the rack is upright and stable, and that you have the correct 19" rails and mounting hardware for your enclosure.
  • Attach the fixed shelf to the rack rails using the included hardware, aligning the shelf with the desired rack units (2U) and securing with screws or cage nuts as appropriate.
  • Verify the shelf is level and firmly anchored to the rack structure. Tighten all mounting points to prevent any tilt or movement under load.
  • Place your equipment onto the shelf, starting from the front for easier access and cable management. Ensure the total weight remains within the 50 lb rating and distribute weight evenly across the shelf for stability.
  • Route power, data, and interconnect cables neatly along the sides or behind the equipment to minimize interference and maximize airflow. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to keep cables organized and away from ventilation paths.
