Multimedia Cart Accessory Ergotron 97-815 Black Shelf

The Ergotron 97-815 Black Shelf is a multimedia cart accessory designed to add a compact, sturdy shelf beside a monitor to hold a wireless scanner or other small devices. Weighing approximately 500 g with a package width of 280 mm and depth of 240 mm, the shelf mounts to a VESA-compatible bracket and provides a universal interface for attaching a scanner base. It is engineered to fit monitors in the 17" to 24" size range and to maintain full monitor movement while keeping cables organized.

Advantages

This shelf offers a durable construction that supports a range of small devices and scanning bases while minimizing extra bulk. Its attachment via the standard VESA interface ensures straightforward installation on compatible mounts. An integrated cable management feature helps route the scanner power cord cleanly, reducing clutter around the monitor and multimedia cart. The shelf is positioned so it does not interfere with the screen’s motion, preserving ergonomics and adjustability.
