Review: Good Quality Rack Shelves at a Fair Price - Good Quality Rack Shelves at a Fair Price These shelves are fairly beefy and weigh much more than I thought they would. They still bend 'fairly' easily if stressed, but work great as rack shelves and serve their purpose. Includes M6 hardware, which I prefer, and they lock into place quite solid as expected. Good value for decent quality. These come in differing lengths, and I have both shorter, and longer shelves in this rack shown. Both are of equal quality.
Review: Solid, Sturdy, and Does Exactly What It Should - Simple but really solid rack shelf that just gets the job done without any drama. It feels very sturdy and well-built, holds equipment securely, and the vented design is a nice touch since it helps with airflow and keeps things from getting too warm in the rack. Installation was straightforward, and once it’s in place it feels stable with no wobble or flex.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions of the this product?  does it come with nuts or screws?**
A: I don't know the exact dimensions off hand (as I have it installed in a rack), but I can tell you it uses two holes on the rail (hence "2U") and it allows wires to fit behind it (16" deep in a 19" closed rack).  It comes with high quality mounting hardware (screws and nuts) and feels very solid.  I'd buy another one if I needed it even though the one I got had a slightly bent corner as though it had been dropped or banged into something prior to shipping (I just bent it back very easily with some pliers and it has been perfect).

**Q: Are these shelves required to rack mount hardware?**
A: No,
They simply provide a shelf for components that are not equipped with rack mount ears.
(sometimes a more economical alternative to buying mounts for equipment that did not come with them)
- keep in mind that they do take up width between the rails and you should measure carefully to insure your component will fit within the approx. 17.18" space.
- they can also be mounted "upside down" to allow for full-width components (this does impact the space(s) below though).

**Q: will this be able to hold like a 27inch monitor or smaller and a keyboard? plan to put this in my server rack.**
A: This shelf is strong enough for a LED/LCD computer monitor, however the rack width is only 19".  A large monitor may not fit due to the width of the rack and height of the sides.

**Q: Is this compatible with Blackmagic design Teranex devices?**
A: Compatible ??
It is a shelf, nothing more or less - You simply need to compare the measurements of your device(s) with those of the shelf to verify the fit...
I apologize if I missed the point of your question; if so, maybe you could rephrase it to be more specific to what you are trying to find out. (i.e., Will my 17"w X 12"d X 1.75"h  device fit?)
Cheers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid 1U shelf with easy access to front and rear
*by G***G on January 29, 2026*

The shelf is very sturdy, and doesn't flex much with expected use. The vent holes are also nicely oriented to use velcro to hold items down to the shelf while still keeping front or back access. Additionally, the folded edge that increases rigidity points down, so there isn't anything in the way of the front or back edge. With that in mind, it still fits into 1U, so the useable vertical space is less than the full 1U.
