StarTech 2U Vented Cantilever Rack Shelf, 16in Deep, 50lb, TAA (CABSHELFV)

Sturdy server rack shelf at a moderate price. Well made. Good fit in our HO Rack.

Does it's intended job, is properly sized and configured, and holds what I need it to hold without me worrying it's gonna fail somehow.

Needed another shelf for fiber box and router. This was perfect. It gave me additional depth and a solid platform. I did not mount it into a rack so I had to use other bolts to anchor it to the plywood.

This is one of those cases where what you get is exactly what you'd expect, from what you see on the web, other than that it's sturdier with thicker steel than I had expected for about $30. It comes with the little thingies (sorry) you put in the square holes so that you can use the screws to anchor it, and they go in more easily than any other I've used, which was a nice plus. Once all 4 screws are in, it feel really sturdy. There are a couple of things that I would change if I could: 1) The lip on the front, while I understand strengthens the unit and prevents flex, also blocks the upper part of the space below it. Because I didn't have a server below the 2 unit space I was putting this in, it didn't matter, though the "filler bar" won't go back in. I suspect that if I had a server in the space below it, that I wouldn't be able to pull the server out without removing this. I'm not sure of that. 2) I'd have like to have had a raised lip on the back. Nothing sharp that would dig into wires, but something blunt that would prevent anything from rolling off and perhaps this would eliminate the need for the lower lip in the front. Those things aside, this is a nice piece, well made for the money, and I'm not sorry I have it.

We needed to put a wireless router and couple of mini pc servers on our patch panel and switch rack; this did the job brilliantly!

My server rack at work is an old 4-post telco rack with threaded posts. It's far less than ideal for mounting modern server rails and shelving but because it's already anchored to the floor and works, I'm not inclined to install a new rack unless it's absolutely necessary. This shelf works great for both modern server racks and the old telco racks where you may need to install a front or rear facing shelf to support equipment without having to buy a full shelf. For my use, I have a workstation that I wanted to have on the front of the rack only and didn't want to spend much money on it. With at least four screws in, this rack and the workstation sitting on it are rock solid.

I like that these are sturdy, well ventilated and have a nice coat of paint. Note that the height is compromised because there's a lip in front to help with shelf strength. A 3.5" shelf really has only 3.25" of usable vertical space. Some nice metric mounting screws are included, but not the 10-32s you would find in traditional USA racks.

I had two shelves already, topmost and bottom most, notice how they are bigger than the middle ( this product ). It is at least 10cm shorter and also, it is not pressed properly as I had to press its side for the screw holes to match with the rack. I do not recommend this.

La use para soportar un servidor bastante pesado y lo soportó muy bien. Tiene un acabado de calidad. Es bastante sólido.

Como siempre, los productos de StarTech los mejores en cuanto accesorios para racks e incluso racks. Viene con todos los tornillos necesarios para la intalñación, un pequeño detalle pero que marca la diferencia. En cuanto a la calidad, parece que soporta más peso del que ponen, yo lo he comprado para que una caja de mineria tenga algún punto de apoyo por la parte de atras y no unicamente estuviera sujeta por el frontal ya que no quería poner railes. La badeja despues de apoyar todo el peso no ha cedido practicamente nada.

奥行の長さをしっかり確認出来ていなかったため、返信しました。 私が使用しているネットワークラックには不適合でした。 Startechのサーバラック部品はどれも高品質なため、サイズが適合するようであれば購入して良いと思います。

I bought this to install a Dell r510 into a 19" network rack. Shelf fit perfectly, and so far holds the weight with no signs of buckling or bending.
