Middle Atlantic sh-5a Zero Space Rackshelf 20 Inches

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC sh-5a is a zero space rackshelf engineered for secure mounting of non-rackmount components inside compatible equipment racks. Unlike standard shelves that mount to the threaded face of the rackrail, the sh-5a mounts directly to the sides of the rackrail, freeing up more usable shelf surface. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a durable black powder coat finish, this shelf supports up to 250 pounds depending on configuration. It ships with full-depth front and rear rackmounting hardware and two L-brackets to help position equipment precisely. AV integrators and rack system installers are the primary trades for this component.

The sh-5a is designed expressly for use in MIDDLE ATLANTIC Slim 5, AXS, SRSR, WR, BRK, and OBRK equipment rack families. It provides a stable platform for passive components, power strips, media players, and other non-rackmount gear that must be housed within a structured rack enclosure. The 20-inch depth suits both shallow and full-depth rack configurations in this product family. This shelf is a common inclusion in AV rack builds for commercial, residential, and light institutional installations.

Compatibility

Designed for use in MIDDLE ATLANTIC Slim 5, AXS, SRSR, WR, BRK, and OBRK equipment racks. Verify rack series compatibility before ordering, as the side-mount rackrail design is specific to these enclosure families.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by AV integrators or rack system technicians. Power down all equipment housed in the rack before installing or repositioning shelves. Mount the sh-5a to the rackrail sides using the included hardware and ensure all fasteners are fully seated before loading components. Consult the rack enclosure documentation for load distribution guidelines when mounting heavy equipment.
