Chatsworth 15255-E04 1U Vented Shelf

Overview

The Chatsworth 15255-E04 is a 1U vented shelf designed for rack-mount equipment that does not have its own rack ears. This shelf provides a stable platform for network switches, patch panels, or other IT and security hardware within a standard 19-inch enclosure. Its adjustable depth accommodates varying rack depths, ensuring compatibility with diverse infrastructure. The vented design promotes airflow, critical for dissipating heat from active components and maintaining optimal operating temperatures for sensitive electronics.

Compatibility

This shelf is designed for use in standard 19-inch server or network racks. Its adjustable depth ranges from 925mm to 1075mm, making it suitable for deep racks that house larger equipment or require additional cable management space. It is compatible with a wide array of network and security equipment that requires a fixed shelf, including many models of network switches, NVRs, and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation requires mounting the shelf to the front or rear rack rails of a 19-inch enclosure using standard rack screws (not included). The adjustable depth is set by extending or retracting the shelf's telescoping members and securing them at the desired length. Ensure the rack rails are capable of supporting the weight of the shelf and the equipment it will hold. The vented design should be oriented to facilitate airflow away from heat-generating devices.
