Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4S5R is a custom rack shelf for AV equipment that lacks factory rack ears, letting you install virtually any non-rackmount component in a standard 19″ rack or enclosure with no modification to the unit. The steel face plate is custom-cut to the specific component you order it for, then finished in textured black powder coat. With a 5U height and 15.5″ shelf depth, it handles taller, deeper source gear that smaller shelves cannot support cleanly.

Product Description

Equipment racks look unfinished when consumer-grade components sit loose on vented shelves with open gaps around them. The RSH4S5R closes those gaps: Middle Atlantic produces the shelf with a face plate opening cut to your component’s exact front profile, so the device mounts flush behind a finished textured panel. The 5U height gives the shelf 8.75″ of vertical rack space, enough for tall disc changers, AV receivers, and similar oversized gear, while the 15.5″ depth (R depth code in the RSH4S naming scheme) supports the full footprint of deeper chassis. The textured black powder coat distinguishes this series from the brushed-anodized RSH4A line and blends with textured blank panels, vent panels, and rack rails common in commercial AV builds. Because every RSH4S shelf is built to order against a specific make and model, the result is a true custom rackmount solution rather than a universal tray, and the assembly installs in the rack like any standard shelf. Integrators use this approach to keep equipment rooms, residential AV closets, and rental racks consistent in appearance while keeping the mounted component fully serviceable.
