Review on AC Infinity Cantilever 14 Deep by Jason Ortiz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very good buy if the gear doesn't fit in your rack or you don't have rails. Great for home labs!

I have a homebuilt server rack that doesn't quite fit the 19" standard, and my machines don't have rack rails, so I used angle aluminum for the "poor man's rack rails" that am End emerged were about 16.2 inches apart, and the upright posts were 17.5 to 17.55 inches apart. This isn't a problem for most servers (the Dell R310 is about 17.1 inches wide), but some thinner servers can slide too far to one side and fall off. Not perfect. I bought this shelf hoping that 1) it would fit in my rack and 2) it would prevent having a particularly troublesome 16.75 inch wide Oracle server fall on its side and dent my storage server. Both! At first I was concerned that the 17.2" USEFUL width (plus 4.8mm total for the unusable side panels) would make the shelf too wide for my rack, but with the side panels included it's about 17.45" wide, which fits almost perfectly. I can't vouch for its weight capacity as the shelf is supported by aluminum rails, but it seems to hold switches, routers, small desktops and maybe even a lighter Dell server (R210 etc) with ease. . I will definitely be buying another one (or two!) in the future. because the shelf is supported by aluminum rails, but it seems that switches, routers, small desktops and maybe even a lighter weight Dell server (R210 etc).
