Chatsworth 11164-119 Heavy Duty Equipment Shelf

Overview

The Chatsworth 11164-119 is a heavy-duty, double-sided equipment shelf designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It provides a stable platform for mounting non-rack-mountable equipment, such as servers, network switches, AV components, or test equipment, within a structured IT or security infrastructure. Its 20-inch depth offers substantial space for larger devices, ensuring proper ventilation and accessibility. The gray, non-ventilated design is suitable for applications where airflow through the shelf itself is not a primary concern, focusing instead on supporting the weight of the equipment.

Compatibility

This shelf is engineered for universal fit within any standard 19-inch wide rack system. It is compatible with all rack enclosures that accept standard 19-inch rack-mount accessories, including those from major manufacturers of server racks, network racks, and AV racks. The 7.16-inch height (4U) ensures it occupies a predictable amount of vertical space, allowing for straightforward planning of rack layouts alongside other rack-mountable equipment.

Installation Notes

Mounting requires four M6 or #12 screws (not included) to secure the shelf to the front or rear rack rails. Ensure the rack rails are capable of supporting the combined weight of the shelf and the equipment it will hold. The double-sided design allows for equipment to be accessed from either the front or rear of the rack, depending on installation orientation and cable management strategy.
