Product Description
What it does: this is a flat steel shelf that bolts into a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, giving you a solid platform for gear that has no rack-mounting ears of its own — think NVR recorders, routers, modems and small switches.
Why "cantilever" and "1U" matter
"Cantilever" means it only fixes to the front rack rails — there's no rear rail support needed. That makes it a good fit for cabinets where the back is already crowded with cabling, or where you simply can't reach the rear. "1U" is the standard rack-height unit, so it takes up one slot in your cabinet's layout.
Key specs
- Depth: approximately 350mm — check this against your NVR or router's footprint before ordering, especially in shallower wall-mounted cabinets
- Material: steel, with a black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance
- Surface: ventilated, so air can move around whatever's sitting on it rather than trapping heat
- Mounting: front-rail cantilever fixing, compatible with standard 19-inch cabinets
Where it's used
Common in network and CCTV cabinets — wall-mounted or floor-standing — anywhere you need to house a device that can't be screwed directly to rack rails. Ventilation slots help reduce heat build-up around active equipment, which matters for anything running continuously, like an NVR.
Before buying, check the shelf depth against your equipment's dimensions and confirm your cabinet takes standard 19-inch rack fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my NVR or router?
It suits devices without their own rack-mounting brackets, provided they fit within the approximate 350mm shelf depth — check your unit's dimensions first.
Does it need rear rail support to install?
No — it uses a cantilever design that mounts only to the front rack rails, so it works in cabinets with limited rear access.
What cabinets is it compatible with?
Standard 19-inch network cabinets and server racks, including both wall-mounted and floor-standing types.
Will it help with heat around my equipment?
The shelf surface is ventilated to support airflow, which helps reduce heat build-up around active devices sitting on it.
