The SARCS-02 is a 2-space rack shelf designed for live sound engineers, studio operators, and IT professionals who need organized storage within their 19-inch equipment racks. This vented rack shelf keeps cables, connectors, power supplies, and small gear accessible while maintaining proper airflow around heat-sensitive equipment.

Built from 16-gauge steel with a black powder-coated finish, this rack shelf handles the weight of multiple power adapters, cable coils, or network equipment without flexing. The vented design prevents heat buildup that can damage stored electronics, making it safe for continuous operation in live venues or server rooms.

At 3.5 inches high, 19 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, the SARCS-02 maximizes storage space while fitting standard rack configurations. The front-mount design provides easy access during shows or maintenance, and the included mounting screws ensure secure installation in any standard 19-inch rack case or cabinet.

Sound engineers use rack shelves like this to store spare microphones, DI boxes, and cable adapters during touring productions. Recording studios rely on them for organizing power supplies, USB interfaces, and small outboard gear. Network administrators mount routers, switches, and patch panels on these shelves for clean cable management.

Installation requires only the included mounting screws and fits any standard 19-inch rack rail system. The shelf mounts from the front using standard rack ear spacing, providing immediate access to stored items.

Seismic Audio backs the SARCS-02 with a one-year warranty and fast shipping to keep your rack organized and your workflow efficient.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I store on the SARCS-02 rack shelf?

This 2U shelf supports cables, power adapters, DI boxes, small interfaces, routers, and other lightweight rack accessories. The 16-gauge steel construction handles typical cable loads and small electronics, but avoid storing heavy amplifiers or large power supplies that exceed the shelf's weight capacity.

Will this shelf fit in my existing 19-inch rack case?

Yes, the SARCS-02 uses standard 19-inch rack mounting with conventional ear spacing and fits any compliant rack case, cabinet, or open frame rack. The 12-inch depth works with most standard rack cases, though verify your case has sufficient internal depth before ordering.

How does the vented design help my equipment?

The ventilation holes allow airflow around stored items, preventing heat buildup that can damage power supplies, network equipment, or electronic accessories. This passive cooling is essential when storing multiple power adapters or heat-generating devices in enclosed rack cases.

Can I mount multiple SARCS-02 shelves in the same rack?

Absolutely. Many users install several rack shelves throughout their cases for organized storage at different levels. Each shelf occupies 2 rack spaces, so plan your rack layout accordingly and leave adequate space between shelves for easy access.

What's the difference between this and adjustable-depth rack shelves?

The SARCS-02 has a fixed 12-inch depth and front-mount design, making installation simple and providing consistent storage space. Adjustable shelves cost more and add complexity, while this fixed-depth model offers reliable storage for standard cable management and small gear organization needs.
