StarTech UNISLDSHF19M – 1U Universal Sliding Rack Shelf with 100lb Capacity

Overview :

The StarTech UNISLDSHF19M is a medium-duty 1U sliding rack shelf designed for IT environments that require a higher weight capacity than standard utility shelves. It solves the challenge of housing and servicing heavy non-rackmount equipment, such as large tower servers, battery backups (UPS), or heavy networking hardware, by allowing them to slide out of a 19-inch rack for easy maintenance.

Constructed from cold-rolled steel, this shelf supports a robust weight capacity of up to 100 lbs (45 kg). It features an adjustable mounting depth that ranges from 21.3 inches to 28.5 inches, ensuring a secure fit in various four-post server racks and cabinets. The smooth ball-bearing slides provide consistent movement even when the shelf is at full capacity, and the integrated locking mechanism prevents the shelf from sliding out too far during use.

Optimized for high-density data centers and equipment rooms, the UNISLDSHF19M features a vented floor design to maximize airflow and prevent heat buildup around sensitive electronics. It is not recommended for two-post racks, as the weight distribution requires the stability of a four-post mounting system, nor for equipment exceeding the 100lb limit.

Key Features :

• 100lb (45kg) weight capacity supports heavy non-rackmount hardware.

• Adjustable mounting depth (21.3″ to 28.5″) fits most 4-post racks.

• Vented shelf design improves airflow and reduces equipment temperatures.

• Smooth ball-bearing slides enable easy access for maintenance and cabling.

• Rugged cold-rolled steel construction ensures long-term durability.
