Middle Atlantic U1V-4 1U Vented Utility Rack Shelf 4-Pack
Overview
The Middle Atlantic U1V-4 is a 1RU vented utility shelf designed for standard 19-inch EIA racks — sold as a 4-pack, making it practical for multi-bay deployments or staging spare units. At 10.41 inches of usable depth and a 35 lb weight capacity per shelf, the U1V-4 handles most rackmount appliances, small UPS units, media converters, and patch organizers without eating into your vertical real estate. The vented surface supports passive airflow underneath chassis that generate heat — relevant anywhere you're stacking active equipment with limited forced-air clearance. TAA compliance makes it eligible for federal and government procurement. Each U1V-4 mounts on two points and occupies exactly 1U, so you lose nothing to wasted rack space.
Compatibility
Fits any Middle Atlantic rack enclosure or third-party rack accessory built to the standard 19-inch EIA/ECA-310 form factor. The 10.41-inch usable depth accommodates most 1U appliances — confirm your device's chassis depth doesn't exceed this before ordering, as deeper appliances (12+ inches) will overhang the shelf front or rear. Works with open-frame, wall-mount, and floor-standing rack enclosures. The 35 lb per-shelf limit covers virtually all 1U networking and AV appliances; heavier equipment like servers or large UPS units should use a dedicated heavy-duty shelf. Each shelf in the 4-pack is identical and independently mountable.
Installation Notes
Mounts at two rack unit points using standard 10-32 or 12-24 cage nuts (verify your rack's tapped hole standard before ordering — cage nuts not included). Width is 19 inches across mounting ears, matching standard EIA rack spacing. Physical depth is 10.78 inches; allow clearance behind the shelf for cable runs. Shipping weight for the full 4-pack is 16.85 lbs.
