19" rack mounting

The 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) shelf from RCS Audio-Systems, type RAF-002, is a robust mounting component for standard rack systems. It is designed for the secure installation of non-standard devices, accessories, or small assemblies that cannot be mounted in a typical 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack. With a mounting depth of 370 mm, it belongs to the deep variants and thus offers extended storage space, particularly suitable for applications in event technology, network technology, or industrial electronics. The shelf is designed for mounting in 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) racks and therefore adapts to all common rack systems.

48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack mounting
The shelf is designed for a mounting height of 2 U and is installed in standard 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) racks. Mounting is done using the designated fastening elements of the rack, and the shelf itself does not require any additional mounting accessories. The construction ensures secure and stable anchoring in the rack, so that it does not shift even under load from installed devices.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shelf is made of 1.6 mm thick steel sheet, ensuring high mechanical stability. The surface is black powder-coated, providing a professional appearance and a durable, abrasion-resistant coating. The base plate of the shelf features a perforated grid, allowing devices or components mounted inside to be securely and permanently fastened. This is particularly useful when non-standard devices that do not fit into a rack need to be stabilized.

Technology explained clearly
The use of steel sheet with a thickness of 1.6 mm provides sufficient strength to accommodate even heavier or bulky components without the shelf bending or being damaged. The powder-coated surface protects the metal from corrosion and wear, increasing the shelf's service life. The mounting depth of 370 mm is significantly greater than that of standard 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) shelves, allowing deeper devices or modules that do not fit into conventional shelves to be easily accommodated.

Compatibility and accessories
The shelf is compatible with all common 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack systems. It is not specifically designed for a particular rack model, but universally adapts to standard dimensions. It is not supplied with additional mounting accessories, such as screws or brackets, as fastening is done via standard rack mounting. The use of non-48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) compatible devices is possible due to the open design and the perforated grid on the base plate.

Mounting and installation
Mounting is done by securing to the mounting points of the 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack. The shelf is inserted into the corresponding rails and secured using the existing fastening elements in the rack. Installation is quick and does not require special tools or additional mounting aids. The base plate with perforated grid allows further devices or modules to be directly fastened to the plate after the shelf is mounted.

Advantages in operation
The shelf provides a flexible solution for using non-standard devices in a rack. The robust construction from steel sheet and the powder-coated surface ensure a long service life. The extra-deep design allows devices that do not fit in standard shelves to be accommodated. The quick mounting and universal compatibility with 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) racks facilitate integration into existing systems.
