Product Description
What this shelf is for
A 1U cantilever shelf gives you a fixed platform in a 19-inch cabinet for equipment that has no rack ears of its own — NVRs, routers, modems, small switches and similar network or CCTV kit.
On a CCTV job this is typically the piece that lets you drop an NVR into the same cabinet as your patch panel and switch, rather than leaving it sitting loose on top of the rack.
Fitting notes
The cantilever design mounts to the front rack rails only, with no rear rail support required. That makes it a practical choice for:
- Wall-mounted cabinets where rear access is limited
- Floor-standing racks with dense rear cabling
- Retrofits into an existing cabinet where you don't want to disturb what's already fitted at the back
Key specs
- Format: 1U, fits standard 19-inch cabinets and server racks
- Depth: approximately 350mm — check this against the footprint of the NVR or router going on top, particularly in shallower wall cabinets
- Constructed from steel and finished in black powder coat, which resists corrosion.
- Surface: ventilated, to support airflow and reduce heat build-up around active equipment
- Mounting: front-rail cantilever fixing
Suited to data network, telecoms and CCTV cabinet builds where a device needs rack space but can't be bolted directly to the rails.

Frequently Asked Questions
What depth is this shelf?
Approximately 350mm — worth checking against your NVR or router's footprint before ordering, especially for shallower wall-mounted cabinets.
Does it need rear rail support to fit?
No — the cantilever design mounts to the front rack rails only, which suits cabinets where rear access is tight or already crowded with cabling.
What equipment is it suitable for?
Devices without their own rack-mounting brackets, such as routers, modems, NVR recorders and small switches used in network or CCTV cabinets.
Will it fit a standard 19-inch cabinet?
Yes, it's a 1U shelf compatible with standard 19-inch network cabinets and server racks, both wall-mounted and floor-standing.
