Shelves
FAQs
Netceed offers a wide selection of cabinet shelves to suit different mounting and equipment needs, including:
- Fixed shelves are bolted directly to the rack posts for stable, permanent support.
- Adjustable shelves are depth adjustable to fit various cabinet sizes and equipment.
- Sliding shelves are pull out shelves for easy access to equipment during maintenance.
- Cantilever shelves are front mounted shelves ideal for lighter devices such as switches or routers.
- Chassis trays and runners provide support and easy movement for heavier servers or hardware.
When selecting a shelf, consider:
- Equipment weight, fixed and adjustable shelves offer higher load capacity, while cantilever options suit lighter gear.
- Accessibility, choose sliding shelves or trays if you need to access or service devices frequently.
- Cabinet depth, adjustable or telescopic shelves are ideal for non-standard cabinet sizes.
- Mounting type, ensure compatibility with 19" rack standards and your cabinet’s rail design (2-post or 4-post).
Netceed shelves are made from robust steel or aluminium for strength and durability, often with a powder coated finish to prevent corrosion. Load capacities vary depending on the shelf type:
- Cantilever shelves: typically support up to 20-30kg.
- Fixed and adjustable shelves: 50-100kg, depending on design.
- Sliding and chassis trays: can handle up to 150kg for heavy servers or UPS units.
Always check the manufacturer’s specification for maximum weight and mounting requirements.
