Middle Atlantic U1V-4 1U Vented Rack Shelf 4 Pack

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic U1V-4 is a 1U vented rack shelf sold as a set of four units, designed for use in standard 19-inch equipment racks. The vented surface promotes airflow across rack-mounted gear, reducing heat buildup in densely loaded enclosures. These shelves are a straightforward, utility-grade mounting solution used by AV integrators, IT technicians, and low-voltage installers to support passive or lightweight active equipment in rack systems. Each shelf occupies a single rack unit of vertical space, making them efficient for installations where rack space is at a premium.

These vented shelves are suited for residential and commercial rack installations where ventilation is a priority. Typical applications include AV equipment racks, server enclosures, networking cabinets, and broadcast or control room builds. The 4-pack format makes them practical for multi-bay rack builds or projects requiring consistent shelf configurations across several rack enclosures.

Secure the shelf using the rack's existing threaded strip or cage nut positions, ensuring all four mounting points are fastened before placing equipment on the shelf. Follow any applicable low-voltage installation codes and rack manufacturer load ratings.
