NavePoint 1U Vented Rack Tray 6in Deep No-Lip

The NavePoint Universal 1U vented rack tray is a low-profile, 6-inch-deep steel shelf designed to hold network devices, power supplies, and accessories in any standard 19" cabinet while maximizing airflow.

This compact, hard-wearing rack tray provides a simple, stable platform for items that don't mount directly to rails — ideal for small switches, modems, media players or cable organizers. Constructed from 1.2mm cold-rolled steel with an electrostatic powder coat, the tray combines a slim footprint with useful load capacity and vented slots to reduce heat buildup. It installs in any standard 19" rack or cabinet and keeps equipment tidy without the bulk of deeper shelves.

How much weight can this 1U shelf safely support?

The NavePoint shelf supports up to 22 pounds, enough for many compact networking devices, adapters and cable bundles. Weight should be centered and distributed evenly across the shelf to avoid stress on the mounting points.

• Rated capacity: 22 lbs (9.98 kg)
• Best for lightweight electronics and accessories
• Even load distribution recommended for stability

Will this shelf fit my rack or cabinet?

This tray is built for compatibility with all standard 19" racks and cabinets and mounts into a single 1U space. Its 6-inch (150mm) depth and no-lip design suit narrow or crowded installations where shallow clearance is necessary.

• Standard fit: 19" rack compatibility
• Mounts in one 1U of rack space
• 150mm (6") depth for tight installations

How does the vented design help my equipment?

The shelf's slotted venting improves passive airflow beneath devices, which helps dissipate heat that would otherwise build up in a closed cabinet. While not a substitute for active cooling, venting reduces hotspots and can lengthen the life of delicate electronics.

• Slotted vents for improved passive airflow
• Reduces localized heat buildup under mounted items
• Works alongside rack fans and open-front panels

What are the build and finish details of the tray?

The tray is manufactured from 1.2mm cold-rolled steel for rigidity and a low profile, then finished with a black electrostatic powder coat that resists scratches and corrosion in typical indoor environments. The no-lip surface makes it easier to slide equipment on and off without catching edges.

• Material: 1.2mm cold-rolled steel
• Finish: durable black electrostatic powder coat
• Surface dimensions: 17.5" x 5.75" for secure placement

Who is this for? The NavePoint 1U vented rack tray is suited for IT technicians, home lab builders, AV installers and small-business network admins who need a slim, robust shelf for lightweight devices or cable management in standard 19" racks. If you require a compact, well-ventilated platform that installs into a single U without adding depth or a raised lip, this shelf offers a cost-effective, professional-looking solution.
