Ortronics ES-23-4B Equipment Shelf 23 Inch Rack

Product Description

The ORTRONICS ES-23-4B is a fixed equipment shelf designed for 23-inch rack installations. It provides a stable, horizontal mounting surface for passive and active equipment housed in standard open-frame or enclosed 19-inch and 23-inch racks. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and data center infrastructure crews use this shelf to support components that do not have their own rack-mount ears, such as media converters, power strips, small appliances, and patch panels awaiting termination. The shelf ships as a single unit and installs directly into the rack's standard mounting rails.

This shelf is suited for telecommunications rooms, server closets, and data distribution frames in both commercial and light industrial environments. It fits within 23-inch rack assemblies where horizontal surface support is needed for ancillary equipment. Installers working with structured cabling systems, AV distribution gear, or network hardware will find this shelf a straightforward addition to any rack build.

Key Features

• Designed for 23-inch rack mounting, compatible with standard rack rail spacing
• Provides a flat, stable surface for equipment without dedicated rack-mount brackets
• Single-unit packaging for individual shelf installation
• Suitable for telecommunications, data, and AV rack environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed shelf for use in standard 23-inch rack assemblies commonly found in telecommunications and data infrastructure installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers. Power down or de-energize any adjacent active equipment before mounting hardware inside a live rack enclosure. Secure the shelf to the rack rails using the appropriate cage nuts and screws for the rail type. Follow applicable TIA-568 and building code requirements for equipment room rack installations.
