Ortronics ES-23-FMB Front Mount Equipment Shelf 23 in

Product Description

The ORTRONICS ES-23-FMB is a front-mount equipment shelf designed for 23-inch rack systems. It provides a stable, horizontal mounting surface for passive and active equipment housed in open-frame or enclosed equipment racks. The shelf mounts to the front rail set of a 23-inch rack, allowing technicians to stage patch panels, media converters, small appliances, or other gear that does not mount directly to rack rails. Network and low-voltage installation professionals are the primary installers for this type of hardware accessory.

This shelf is suited for telecommunications rooms, data closets, server rooms, and structured cabling installations where 23-inch rack infrastructure is in use. It fits into environments ranging from small commercial installations to larger enterprise or campus network buildouts. The ES-23-FMB is sold as an individual unit, making it straightforward to order on a per-rack or per-position basis as needed during a project.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage or network cabling technicians. Power down or de-energize any active equipment in the rack before mounting the shelf to avoid accidental contact with live components. Standard hand tools are sufficient for securing the shelf to the rack rails. Follow applicable structured cabling standards and local building codes when installing equipment in telecommunications rooms.
