Black Box IT Rackmount Vented Shelf 3U 19" Fixed 50lb Capacity

The Black Box RMT137 is a rack shelf that is fixed in place and includes ventilation slots, giving you a secure spot for equipment that lacks rack ears or mounting brackets. Designed for the Black Box Premier Aluminum Distribution Rack line, it converts three rack units of space into a solid platform that is 19 inches wide and 17.2 inches deep.

Black Box forms the shelf from 11-gauge aluminum, a material that resists bending and corrosion. This rugged build supports up to 50 pounds, so you can confidently place items such as compact servers, desktop switches, test instruments, modems, or power supplies without worrying about sagging.

An array of ventilation openings runs across the surface to promote airflow. By letting warm air escape and cooler air circulate, the shelf helps sensitive electronics maintain stable operating temperatures, which can extend component life and improve overall reliability.

Installation is straightforward. Attach the shelf to the rack rails with standard hardware, position your gear, and you are ready. Network administrators outfitting a data center row, IT staff organizing a wiring closet, and AV technicians arranging studio equipment will all appreciate the added flexibility this shelf provides.
