ROLINE 1U Rack Shelf 19" in gray is a compact metal shelf designed to fit standard 19-inch server and network racks. Occupying 1 HE (1U) of rack space, it provides a stable platform for small devices, peripherals or tools that require fixed placement inside a rack. The shelf is suitable for environments such as data centers, office server rooms and telecom cabinets where space efficiency and secure mounting are required.

Advantages

The shelf offers a slim 1U profile that preserves valuable rack space while allowing you to store small equipment safely. Constructed from metal with a gray finish, it delivers reliable mechanical support for items up to 5 kg and resists deformation under normal use. Its standard 19" form factor ensures compatibility with most industry racks, enabling straightforward installation and integration with existing rack-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• Small network devices such as unmanaged switches or media converters
• Peripherals like external hard drives, power strips or KVM units
• Tools, cables and accessories that need organized storage inside a rack
• Temporary placement of laptop or diagnostic equipment during maintenance

Key specifications

• Rack width: 19 inches (standard)
• Height: 1U (1 HE)
• Material: metal construction with gray finish
• Maximum static load capacity: 5 kg
• Mounting: fixed front and rear rack mounting

How to use

Install the shelf into a compatible 19" rack by aligning its mounting flanges with the rack's front and rear mounting rails and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Verify the shelf is level and firmly fastened before placing equipment. Distribute the weight of mounted items evenly across the shelf and keep the load within the specified 5 kg limit. For devices that require ventilation, provide adequate clearance to avoid obstructing airflow within the rack.

Recommendations

Use the shelf for low-weight peripherals and short-term staging of equipment. Avoid placing heavy or vibrating devices on the shelf and check periodically that mounting hardware remains tight. If you need to mount heavier items, select a shelf with a higher load rating or consider alternative mounting options.
