Overview

The nVent ESH23S Single-Sided Solid Shelf (SKU: ESH23S) is a heavy-duty steel shelf designed for 23-inch open-frame racks. Engineered for stability, it supports up to 150 lb (68.0 kg) of equipment, making it ideal for non-rack-mountable devices such as networking gear, power distribution units, test equipment, or legacy hardware. The shelf occupies 3U of vertical rack space and mounts to either the front or rear flange of the rack, maximizing flexibility in installation scenarios. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a black powder-coat finish, the ESH23S delivers corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. Its solid design prevents equipment shifting or falling, safeguarding valuable assets in data centers, telecommunications facilities, industrial automation environments, and laboratories. Installation requires standard rack mounting hardware (not included) and is straightforward, ensuring quick deployment and organized rack layouts. Key specifications include: 23-inch width, 10.50-inch depth (267 mm), 4.85-inch height (123 mm), and a 150 lb static load rating. Backed by nVent’s reputation for quality, this shelf is a reliable solution for housing non-standard equipment in demanding operational conditions.
