Deep Shelf for Non-Rackmount Equipment
The SR2420 provides a fixed support platform for equipment that does not include standard rack ears. Its deeper surface is useful when compact 270 mm or 350 mm shelves do not fully support the device.
Installing loose equipment on a dedicated shelf helps keep the rack organized and reduces the need to place devices directly on amplifiers, switches or other installed components.
Key Features
- 420 mm depth supports many deeper AV and network devices
- Vented surface helps air move around installed equipment
- 1.2 mm cold-rolled steel construction
- Fixed design keeps supported equipment in position
- Black powder-coated finish matches common rack equipment
- Useful for equipment without built-in rack ears
- Suitable for compatible AV, network and control racks
- Known compatibility with UA6606, UA6609 and R6622 rack models
Why Choose a 420 mm-Deep Rack Shelf?
The 420 mm or 16.5-inch depth provides more support area than the 270 mm and 350 mm shelves in the same product range.
It is a practical choice for equipment with deeper cabinets, widely spaced feet or rear connectors that require additional support. The rack must still provide enough internal depth for the shelf, device and connected cables.
Vented Surface for Air Movement
Openings across the shelf allow air to circulate around compatible devices instead of trapping heat against a completely solid platform.
Keep cooling fans, air intakes and exhaust openings clear. Shelf ventilation does not replace the operating clearance required by the equipment manufacturer.
Suitable Equipment Examples
| Equipment | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Network Router or Gateway | Depth, antennas, ventilation and cable clearance |
| Desktop Network Switch | Port access, equipment feet and airflow |
| Media or Streaming Player | HDMI, network, power and remote-control access |
| Compact AV Component | Dimensions, equipment weight and cooling requirements |
| Security Recorder or Controller | Front controls, rear wiring and heat output |
| Power Supply or Accessory | Stable placement, cable strain and load suitability |
Equipment Compatibility Checklist
- Confirm the rack or cabinet accepts the shelf mounting pattern
- Confirm sufficient vertical clearance for the published 50 mm height
- Measure equipment width, depth and height
- Include rear connector and cable clearance
- Confirm equipment weight before loading the shelf
- Keep all equipment feet securely supported
- Keep cooling vents and fans unobstructed
- Check front and rear rack-door clearance
- Confirm the rack rails and shelf fasteners are secure
