DIGITUS 1U Fixed Shelf with Variable Rails for 600 mm Deep 19-inch Racks
1U · 19-inch4-point mounting50 kg loadBlack RAL 9005
The DIGITUS DN-97645 is a 1U 19-inch fixed shelf with variable-depth side rails that bolts to all four rack uprights, rated for 50 kg and designed for 600 mm deep network and server cabinets. It suits anyone who needs to put non-rackable equipment such as a small NAS, a desktop router, a UPS, a mini PC or a modem into a standard 19-inch cabinet.
Because the shelf is fixed to the front and rear profile rails, the load is carried at four points instead of hanging off the front only. The perforated steel tray lets warm air rise through the shelf, which matters when the device sitting on it produces heat.
Before you order: The adjustable rails span 350 to 550 mm between the front and rear 19-inch uprights, and DIGITUS specifies it for 600 mm deep cabinets. Measure the distance between your front and rear profile rails before ordering; for 800 mm cabinets the matching model is DN-97647 (black) or DN-97646 (grey).
What's in the Box
- 1 x 1U 19-inch shelf with variable fastening rails, black
- Installation set with M6 screws, cage nuts and washers (quantities not published by DIGITUS)
What It Means in Practice
- Four-point fixing means the shelf does not sag at the back under a heavier device, unlike a front-only cantilever shelf.
- It occupies exactly one rack unit, but the device on top needs its own free height above the shelf - count the U you need for the device, not just the shelf.
- The perforated base allows vertical airflow, so it is a reasonable home for a router, a small switch without rack ears or a mini PC.
- Use the supplied M6 cage nuts in square-hole uprights; the depth is set by sliding the rails before tightening.
What Will Not Work
- It will not fit a wall-mount cabinet or open frame that has no rear pair of 19-inch uprights - it needs all four mounting points.
- It will not reach the rear rails in cabinets where the front-to-rear rail distance is outside 350-550 mm; for 800 mm cabinets choose DN-97647 or DN-97646.
- It is not a sliding or pull-out shelf - equipment must be accessed from the front or rear of the cabinet.
- Do not exceed the 50 kg load; heavy UPS units should sit on the floor of the cabinet or on a dedicated heavy-duty rail kit.
Key Features
Variable rails
Side rails adjust from 350 to 550 mm, so the shelf follows the actual position of your rear uprights.
50 kg rating
Four-point mounting carries up to 50 kg, enough for most network devices, small servers and compact UPS units.
Perforated steel
The vented tray lets heat escape upward instead of trapping it under the device.
Full fixing kit
Screws, cage nuts and washers are supplied, so installation needs only a screwdriver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work in an 800 mm deep cabinet?
DIGITUS specifies this model for 600 mm cabinets with a rail span of 350-550 mm. For 800 mm cabinets DIGITUS offers DN-97647 (black) and DN-97646 (grey), which adjust further.
Do I need to buy cage nuts separately?
No. The installation set with M6 screws, cage nuts and washers is included.
Can I mount it using only the front uprights?
No. It is a 4-point shelf. If your cabinet has only front uprights, choose a cantilever (2-point) shelf instead.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
For a 600 mm network cabinet this is the right kind of shelf: four-point fixing keeps it level under load and the 50 kg rating leaves plenty of headroom for routers, NAS boxes and small UPS units. The one thing to check is the distance between your front and rear rails. Browse our full range of
rack accessories for blanking panels, cable managers and matching fixings.
✓ Buy it if you have a 600 mm deep 19-inch cabinet with front and rear uprights and need a stable shelf for non-rackable equipment.
✕ Skip it if your cabinet is 800 mm deep (choose DN-97647 or DN-97646) or has only front uprights (choose a 2-point cantilever shelf).
→ Also consider DIGITUS DN-97646 for 800 mm cabinets in grey, or a pull-out shelf if you need access to the device without removing it.
