Vertiv 18340 Passive 1U SwitchAir Adjustable FR 5.75in to 8.5in

Overview

The Vertiv 18340 is a 1U rackmount shelf designed to securely house network switches, modems, or other compact IT equipment within a standard 19-inch server rack. Its adjustable depth feature, ranging from 5.75 inches to 8.5 inches, provides flexibility for various device sizes, ensuring a snug fit and preventing movement. This passive shelf is ideal for environments where equipment needs to be organized and accessible without requiring active cooling or power distribution from the shelf itself, such as in network closets or small server rooms.

Compatibility

This rackmount shelf is designed for use in standard 19-inch server racks. It accommodates equipment with depths between 5.75 inches and 8.5 inches. While not specific to any single vendor's equipment, it is suitable for housing compact network switches, routers, modems, or other small form-factor IT devices commonly found in surveillance or general IT deployments.

Installation Notes

The Vertiv 18340 requires standard rack mounting hardware (typically cage nuts and screws, sold separately) to secure it to the rack rails. Ensure the rack rails are properly aligned and capable of supporting the weight of the shelf and the equipment it will hold. The adjustable front (FR) mechanism allows for tool-less adjustment of the depth once the shelf is loosely mounted, providing a secure fit for your device.
