Chatsworth 46053-101 Universal Rack Shelf

Overview

The Chatsworth 46053-101 is a 19-inch wide, 6-inch high, 3-inch deep universal rack shelf designed for mounting non-rack-mountable equipment or small devices within standard 19-inch server or network racks. Its compact depth is ideal for shallow enclosures or situations where space is at a premium, allowing you to organize patch panels, small switches, or other IT and surveillance components efficiently. The gray finish blends with most standard rack aesthetics.

Compatibility

This shelf is designed for use with any standard 19-inch wide rack or cabinet. It mounts to the front or rear rack rails using standard cage nuts and screws (not included). Its 3-inch depth makes it suitable for shallow racks or when you need to mount equipment without consuming significant rack units vertically, such as in wall-mount racks or compact network closets.

Installation Notes

Mounting requires standard M6 or 10-32 cage nuts and screws, depending on your rack rail type. Ensure your rack has sufficient depth for the 3-inch shelf plus the depth of the equipment being mounted. The 6-inch height provides ample vertical space for many common small form factor devices or multiple patch panels.
