A server rack or wall mount rack serves as a central point where all network cables and network devices, such as servers, ethernet switches and ups, converge. It is possible that equipment does not have a 19 inch mounting profile and therefore cannot be mounted directly between the uprights of the server rack. In this situation, you can use shelves. With the help of shelves, a server rack or wall mount rack can be neatly and conveniently arranged. Our range of accessories includes various shelves. In this blog we explain the differences in shelves to you.

Shelves for standing server racks
Fixed shelves
We have our own range of server racks and patch racks with the advantage that we can continue to develop our server racks. The fixed shelves on our website are specially made for our standing server racks and therefore only fit in those types. Because the fixed shelves are mounted on the side of the server cabinet, they can carry more weight.
Telescopic shelves
The advantage of a telescopic shelves is that they are extractable and it is easy to reach the back of the installed equipment. This is extremely suitable when regular maintenance is required. Due to the retractable mechanism, the load-bearing capacity of this shelf is limited.
Universal shelves
If you didn't have a server rack that's purchased from our range but you like to place a shelf, you can use our universal shelves. These shelves are adjustable in length and contains mounting profiles so that they can be placed in any 19 inch profile.

Shelves for wall mount racks
Our wall mount racks aren't as deep for mounting devices as standing server racks. Therefore you need other shelves. wall mount shelves are less deep. Again, we make a distinction between fixed wall mount shelves and universal wall mount shelves. Also in this case, if it concerns a wall mount rack from our line the fixed wall mount rack shelves can be used, otherwise you need the universal shelves.
