EMSV1918

Overview

The Hoffman EMSV1918 is a vented, open-frame rack-mount steel shelf designed for industrial enclosures. It measures 19.00 inches in width and 18.00 inches in depth, constructed from 16-gauge steel with a low gloss light textured black finish. This component mounts to the front of a standard 19-inch rack system, providing structural support for equipment that does not conform to standard 19-inch rack dimensions. The vented design facilitates airflow management within the enclosure environment.

Feature Summary

• Open-frame construction allows for visibility and cable routing
• Vented structure supports thermal dissipation
• Front-mounting capability for flexible rack integration

Applications

• Mounting non-19-inch rack-mount equipment
• Industrial control panel organization
• Server rack accessory installation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific requirement for a vented configuration against your thermal management needs. Confirm that the 18-inch depth aligns with the footprint of the target equipment. Ensure compatibility with the existing 19-inch rack mounting standards before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when equipment requires a dedicated shelf space within a 19-inch rack but lacks standard rack ears. The vented option is suitable for applications requiring passive cooling through the shelf structure. Consider the 16-gauge steel thickness for adequate load-bearing capacity relative to the installed hardware weight.

Part Context
