DIGITUS DN-97609 Rack shelf 1 U 45x483x250 mm up to 15 kg grey content_copy

The DIGITUS rack shelf DN-97609 is a 19-inch rack element in 1U format, specifically designed for use in network and server enclosures. It serves as a ventilated mounting base for devices intended to be installed in a rack, enabling stable placement of components such as switches, routers, or other network equipment. The construction from perforated metal ensures sufficient air circulation to support cooling of installed devices. The grey colour (RAL 7035) matches the standard colour scheme of server and network racks.

Rack size and dimensions

The rack shelf is designed for standard 19-inch racks and measures 48.3 cm in width, corresponding to the standard rack width. The depth is 25 cm, making it suitable for devices with low to medium depth. The height of the mounting base is 4.4 cm, matching the standard for 1U rack elements. These dimensions allow precise installation in standard rack systems without additional effort.

Weight limitation and stability

The rack shelf is rated for a maximum load of 15 kg. This weight restriction ensures safe and stable mounting of devices without damaging the rack structure or the shelf itself. The construction from robust metal provides sufficient load capacity within the specified limit.

Mounting and fastening

The product is supplied with a mounting kit containing the necessary fastening elements for installation in the rack. Mounting is performed using screws and brackets attached to the side mounting surfaces of the rack. The perforated surface allows flexible positioning of devices and cables, while ventilation is supported by the openings.

Compatibility and accessories

The rack shelf is compatible with standard 19-inch rack systems and can be used in wall-mounted enclosures as well as freestanding server racks. Complementary accessories, such as the Dynamic 9HE wall-mounted enclosure (505x600x450 mm, grey), can be used additionally to expand the mounting environment. Combining it with other rack elements enables a modular and flexible setup structure.

Applications

The rack shelf is suitable for use in IT infrastructures, such as data centres, server rooms, network centres, or for installing network equipment in small offices. The ventilated construction supports cooling of installed devices, which is particularly important for continuous operation. The robust design and clear dimensional standardisation facilitate integration into existing rack systems.

Technology explained simply

The perforated surface of the rack shelf ensures continuous air circulation, improving heat dissipation from mounted devices. Mounting is done via standardised screw holes on the sides, corresponding to the rack system. The RAL 7035 grey colour is standard in IT and electrical engineering, ensuring a uniform visual appearance of rack systems. The designation 1U refers to the standard height of rack elements, equivalent to 4.4 cm.

Advantages in operation

The rack shelf provides a stable platform for mounting devices requiring secure fastening. Ventilation supports thermal stability of installed components, increasing their lifespan and reliability. The pre-fabricated mounting equipment reduces installation effort and enables quick integration into existing systems. Compatibility with standard rack systems ensures universal usability.
