AC Infinity Vented Rack Shelf 1U, 14" Deep for 19" Server, AV Racks

The AC Infinity Vented Cantilever 2U Rack Shelf has exceeded my expectations for organizing and supporting my equipment. This shelf's heavy-duty construction made from 2.4mm cold-rolled steel gives me confidence in its ability to hold up to 100 lbs without any issues. I've used it to secure various components in my 19” equipment rack, and it's proven to be both sturdy and reliable. I particularly like the vented design, which helps keep my equipment cool by allowing better airflow. This feature is crucial for preventing overheating, especially when dealing with high-performance devices. Installing the shelf was straightforward, and it fits perfectly within the rack, providing a stable and secure platform for my gear. The only slight downside is that it adds a bit of weight to the rack, but this is a minor trade-off for the durability and load-bearing capacity it offers. For anyone needing a dependable and strong rack shelf, this AC Infinity model is a fantastic choice. Its robust build, easy installation, and efficient design make it an excellent addition to any setup. Highly recommended for those looking to optimize their equipment organization.

Over the years, I’ve used several different rack shelves in my home studio and this one is the best of all. Heavy-duty construction and well ventilated, with low-profile raised edges on the front and rear to provide structural support and keep equipment from sliding out. The low-profile of the edges is important as they don’t obstruct switches, knobs, or jacks like some others do.

This rack shelf is very well built and lives up to its claim on weight bearing capacity. Quality materials and the pointed down lips provide a very stiff construction so no sagging. Good paint finish as well. Rack mount bracket holes are perfectly spaced too. Definitely high value for the price.

This 1 RU shelf was perfect for mounting three small NDI-to-SDI converters into a portable production rack where space was limited and I needed good airflow for the converters as well as the rest of the equipment. The shelf is solid, not flimsy at all, and the slots gave me flexibility in arranging and securing the devices. I originally used 1/4-20 bolts (had to drill into the shelf), but later switched to zip ties because the pan head bolts didn't allow enough clearance to the equipment below. I'm going to be building another portable production kit and this will likely be purchased again for it.

This rack shelf is definitely heavy duty, and it was one of the only shelves I could find with a lip that bends down from the shelf surface instead of up, which would've potentially blocked items. It initially appeared to have some sag when only a couple pounds of weight were applied (three 3.5-inch external HDDs), no matter how tight all four rack screws were tightened. I've since done my best to brute-force bend the shelf back to flat, because I think it was just shipped with a slight curve. Speaking of rack screws, this was supposed to include 10-32 and 12-24 screws. This appeared to be so, as there were two little baggies with 4 screws each. But when I went to install, using the 10-32 screws in a standard rack, only 3 screws fit. Turns out, one 12-24 got thrown in with the 10-32s. They didn't have to include free screws at all, so this isn't a big deal, but I did have to replace them all so they'd match. It also makes me wonder how much care goes into handling things at the factory. Even without the screws, however, this is a good price for a thick, ventilated rack that can be shipped quickly.

Perfect for what I need!

Worked as expected. Sturdy and supported BD player without bending in the middle.

There are a couple things I'd highlight about this shelf. The biggest characteristic I want to highlight is that it has been carefully made to eliminate sharp edges and corners. It feels smooth and has a surprisingly nice finish to it. With a lot of rack gear you run the constant risk of cutting yourself, but this shelf is actually very nice. The material is heavy enough to support reasonable loads on a standard cabinet and because it is a cantilever half depth shelf, it only affixes to a single rack rail. The shelf also includes ample opportunity on the sides to affix cables with tie straps. I do not think the venting in the shelf itself would work well for tie straps, but there are nice long slots on the side that lend themselves well to aiding in cable management and for passing cables from the shelf in an organized fashion. The product is nicely packaged and includes rack screws and nuts, which work perfectly with square hole racks. I will be ordering an additional shelf for my humble home rack and comfortably recommend these to anyone.

Excelentes materiales, buen calibre y para instalaciones micro empresa u hogar hace un trabajo perfecto, la recomiendo ampliamente.

Mycket bra kvalitet samt att rack skruvar följer med. Väldigt nöjda :)

A bit more money but a well built rack, very strong metal. I purchased two.

Ist recht teuer, aber dafür auch echt stabil.

Bought this to hold my Synology DS1812 NAS, full of 8 drives. Definitely less than the weight limit for this shelf, but the shelf still seems to lean downwards at the back where there's less bracing. Makes mounting an item below the shelf almost impossible (without the shelf leaning on the item, making the shelf pointless). Would not recommend for anything heavier than a few small devices (mac minis, routers, raspberry pis etc.).
