Shop rack-mount shelves for supporting equipment that does not have standard rack-mount ears or hardware. Wallco offers vented, solid and cantilever-style shelves for compatible network, communications and equipment racks.
Compare shelves by rack width, mounting style, depth, load capacity, ventilation and the physical dimensions of the equipment being supported.
Rack shelves make it possible to install equipment within a rack even when the device was not designed with standard rack-mount ears. Shelves can support networking, communications, AV, control and other equipment within an organized rack system.
Cantilever shelves mount primarily from the front rack rails and are commonly used for lighter equipment. Shelf depth and rated load should be matched to the equipment being installed.
Vented shelf surfaces can allow additional airflow around equipment. Ventilation requirements depend on the heat generated by the supported device and the overall rack cooling design.
Solid-bottom shelves provide a continuous support surface for compatible equipment. When heat-producing equipment is installed on a solid shelf, consider the manufacturer's required ventilation clearances.
Confirm the rack standard and mounting-rail spacing before selecting a shelf. Shelf depth should provide adequate equipment support without interfering with rack doors, cable routing or equipment installed behind the shelf.
Before selecting a rack shelf, confirm rack width, shelf depth, mounting method, equipment weight and ventilation requirements. Do not exceed the shelf manufacturer's rated load.
