Hammond RASV230515BK1 3U 23-Inch Vented Fixed Rack Shelf, 15 in Deep

The RASV230515BK1 is a 3U vented fixed rack shelf built for 23-inch racks and cabinets, giving IT, AV and industrial teams a solid place to set equipment that cannot be directly rack-mounted. Its universal design mounts to any standard EIA-compliant rack or cabinet, and the vented shelf surface allows air to move around switches, amplifiers, small servers, UPS units and other free-standing devices.

Construction is mild steel with a textured black powder coat finish that is GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant, supporting indoor air quality and environmental compliance goals. A stiffener lip folded up at the back adds rigidity and helps keep equipment in place. The shelf is tested to double the suggested load rating, and the drawing notes a maximum weight of 200 lb.

Mounting dimensions are 5.25 in (133 mm) high by 23.30 in (592 mm) wide with a 15.00 in (381 mm) usable depth, occupying 3U of rack space. Suggested load capacity is 200 lbs (91 kg). Eight 0.25 x 0.38 in slots are provided in the mounting flanges; mounting hardware is not supplied with the shelf.

Because RASV230515BK1 is a fixed shelf, it can be installed internally as an equipment shelf or externally as a work surface, making it useful in data centers, network closets, broadcast racks, control panels and lab benches. Shipping weight is 9 lbs (4.08 kg). The part is made in Canada, USMCA compliant, TAA compliant, REACH and RoHS compliant, and classified ECCN EAR99. A solid (un-vented) equivalent, RASU230515BK1, is available in the same size.
