Middle Atlantic OCAP-3 Open Captivator Shelf 3U

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC OCAP-3 is a 3U open captivator shelf designed to organize and secure equipment within standard rack enclosures. Occupying 3U of rack space and measuring 5.25 inches in height, this shelf provides an open-frame mounting surface that keeps components accessible while holding them firmly in position. It is finished in black for a clean appearance inside professional rack installations. AV integrators, IT technicians, and rack system installers are the primary trades that specify and install this shelf in structured wiring and equipment rack applications.

The OCAP-3 is suited for residential and commercial rack installations where open airflow and component accessibility are priorities. It fits standard 19-inch EIA rack enclosures and is commonly used in AV equipment racks, server rooms, home theater equipment bays, and similar structured rack environments. The open captivator design allows cables and wiring to pass through while keeping rack-mounted components from shifting during normal use.
