Chatsworth 11359-525 Double Sided Vented LOW PROFILE Shelf

Overview

The Chatsworth 11359-525 is a double-sided, vented, low-profile shelf designed to provide stable, ventilated mounting for non-rackmount equipment within a standard 19-inch rack. Its 25-inch width and 20-inch depth offer substantial surface area for devices like modems, routers, or small network appliances, while the vented design promotes airflow to prevent overheating. This shelf is ideal for consolidating network gear and ensuring proper thermal management in environments where dedicated rackmount equipment is not feasible.

Compatibility

This shelf is designed for use in standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets. Its 25-inch depth accommodates a wide range of equipment, but users should verify their specific device dimensions against the shelf's 20-inch usable depth. It is suitable for housing various network devices, small form factor PCs, or other IT equipment that does not have rack ears.

Installation Notes

Installation requires four post mounting points within a 19-inch rack. The shelf utilizes standard rack screws (not included) to secure to the rack's vertical rails. Ensure the rack structure can support the weight of the shelf and the equipment it will hold. The vented design aids in passive cooling, but active ventilation (e.g., rack fans) may still be necessary for high-heat-generating devices.
