This Middle Atlantic Custom Shelf is designed to maximize space, organization, and performance inside standard 19" rack enclosures. At 2 rack units high (2U) and a deep 20.5 inches, it provides a robust, stable mounting surface for a wide range of components—from compact AV splitters and power management blocks to network gear and control devices. Built with durability in mind, the textured finish stands up to daily use in professional environments while preserving a clean, professional look. Whether you’re configuring a new rack setup or upgrading an existing installation, this shelf is engineered to integrate smoothly with other Middle Atlantic components and with RSH-style custom rackmounts, delivering a precise fit and a seamless appearance.

  • Custom-fit, 2U design for 19" racks: This shelf occupies two rack units, aligning perfectly with standard 19" enclosure rails. It’s engineered to provide a neatly trimmed opening that accommodates the face of the mounted component, ensuring a flush, professional presentation inside the rack. The 2U height is ideal for mid-sized equipment that benefits from a stable, accessible platform without sacrificing valuable rack space elsewhere in the enclosure. When you install this shelf, you gain a clean, unobtrusive mounting surface that helps your overall rack layout stay organized and efficient.
  • Durable textured finish: The shelf features a textured powder-coated steel surface that resists scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints, maintaining a sharp, professional appearance even in high-traffic environments. The textured finish not only looks great but also helps hide minor wear over time, making it an excellent choice for telecom rooms, rental studios, and live production environments where equipment is frequently accessed and reorganized. This finish also contributes to corrosion resistance, helping your investment stay looking good for years to come.
  • Compatibility with standard 19" enclosures and RSH systems: Designed to work within a standard 19" rack, this shelf is a versatile component for a wide range of audio, video, and data installations. It pairs well with Middle Atlantic’s RSH custom rackmount solutions, enabling precise openings for devices that require front-face access or specific mounting interfaces. The shelf’s precise tolerances ensure a subtle, clean integration with other rack equipment, reducing gaps and misalignment that can compromise airflow or aesthetics in a busy rack room.
  • Versatility for diverse components and applications: Whether you’re mounting a compact AV distribution block, a small network switch, a power distribution unit, or other shallow equipment, this shelf provides a stable platform with dependable support. Its depth—20.5 inches—accommodates a broad spectrum of devices, including items with recessed connectors or faceplates that require a precise, unobtrusive mounting surface. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for installations in studios, control rooms, conference spaces, and data centers where modularity and future upgrades are important.
  • Installer-friendly design with clean cable management potential: The shelf is engineered for straightforward installation within a standard rack. Pre-measured mounting points and a rigid steel construction help ensure quick, secure attachment and long-term stability. When used in combination with cable management accessories, the shelf supports tidy, organized cable runs behind the faceplate, minimizing clutter and improving airflow. The result is a professional, reliable rack setup that is easier to service and upgrade over time.

How to install Middle Atlantic Custom Shelf

Before you begin, power down and disconnect all equipment in the rack. Clear the mounting area to ensure you have ample space to work and to prevent accidental damage to devices or cabling.

Step 1: Prepare the rack and shelf. Confirm that your enclosure is a standard 19" rack and that the interior depth is sufficient for the 20.5" shelf. Inspect the shelf for any shipping damage and remove any protective packaging. If you’re pairing the shelf with RSH-style rackmounts or other adapters, verify compatibility and prepare any mounting hardware recommended by your installation plan.

Step 2: Position the shelf at the desired height. With the rack open, align the shelf’s mounting holes with the vertical rails of the enclosure. It’s important to align it carefully to ensure the face of the mounted component will sit flush with adjacent equipment and that screws will thread smoothly into the rails without cross-threading.

Step 3: Secure the shelf to the rack rails. Use standard rack screws that match your enclosure’s rails and the shelf’s mounting holes. Tighten the screws evenly, taking care not to overtighten, which could deform rails or the shelf itself. Confirm that the shelf remains level and firmly seated after tightening the screws.

Step 4: Install the component onto the shelf. Place the device onto the shelf surface and align any front-face opening requirements with the shelf’s cut or opening. If needed, adjust the device position to ensure a precise fit and a clean, flush appearance at the rack face. Connect any necessary cabling, keeping cables routed neatly behind the shelf to maintain accessibility and airflow.

Step 5: finalize cabling and test. Route DC power, data, and network connections as appropriate, using cable management solutions to reduce clutter. Once all connections are made, re-sequence power and verify that the component powers on and operates correctly. Perform a brief functional check to ensure there is no interference with neighboring equipment and that airflow around the shelf remains unobstructed.

Important note: If you are using additional accessories or mounting hardware from Middle Atlantic or compatible RSH systems, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for those components to ensure a stable, secure installation. This shelf is designed to be compatible with standard rack infrastructure and with common mounting practices; always verify fit and clearance with your specific enclosure and equipment before completing your final installation.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.
