Rittal DK 5501.665 — 0.5U Depth-Variable Component Shelf, 50 kg
0.5U · 19"Levels 600–900 mm apart50 kg loadTool-free assembly
The Rittal DK 5501.665 is a 0.5U static component shelf for 19" Rittal VX IT, TS IT, TE and TX CableNet enclosures, depth-variable for front and rear mounting levels 600 to 900 mm apart and rated for 50 kg — for data-centre and IT teams placing non-rackmount equipment inside Rittal racks.
Because it takes only half a rack unit and mounts on both the front and rear levels, it carries heavier equipment than a cantilever shelf while wasting minimal height. It is spray-finished sheet steel in RAL 9005 and installs tool-free by one person.
Before you order: Made for Rittal VX IT, TS IT, TE and TX CableNet enclosures with 482.6 mm (19") mounting angles or frames at front and rear, spaced 600–900 mm apart. Other brands are not listed by Rittal.

What It Means in Practice
- Non-rackmount devices can be placed inside a Rittal rack with support at both the front and the rear.
- The 0.5U height means almost no rack space is lost under the equipment.
- Depth-variable design adapts to the actual distance between your mounting levels.
- Tool-free, one-person assembly keeps installation quick.
What Will Not Work
- It is not a pull-out or telescopic shelf.
- It does not fit 2-post racks — it needs front and rear mounting levels.
- It will not span mounting levels closer than 600 mm or further than 900 mm apart.
- It is not listed by Rittal for non-Rittal enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit a TS IT rack of 1000 mm depth?
It fits when the distance between the front and rear 19" mounting levels is 600–900 mm, which depends on how the levels are set in your rack.
Why 0.5U?
The half-unit height leaves the rack unit above free for the equipment, so less space is wasted.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
In Rittal racks, a 4-point component shelf is the robust choice for heavy non-rackmount equipment, and the 0.5U profile saves space. Measure the distance between your mounting levels before ordering. More options are in our
rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you have a Rittal VX IT, TS IT, TE or TX CableNet rack and need a 50 kg shelf.
✕ Skip it if your rack is 2-post, non-Rittal, or has mounting levels outside 600–900 mm.
