What is Reddit's opinion of StarTech.com 1U Server Rack Shelf - Universal Vented Rack Mount Cantilever Tray for 19" Network Equipment Rack & Cabinet - Heavy Duty Steel - Weight Capacity 50lb/23kg - 10" Deep, Black (CABSHELFV1U)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

As a reference it's ~1mm taller than my UDM-SE. With some "wiggling" it should/could fit. However:

1. The shelf needs to be flat. The one I purchased has a 8mm offset so it won't fit.
2. The switch gets pretty hot and dissipates heat from the top (don't think it was designed to be rack mounted). I left 1/2U on top of mine for proper ventilation.

I used the startech vented shelf on mine.

I have a short depth rack in my basement before I moved to a full sized rack and used shelves like this in it StarTech.com 1U Vented Server Rack Cabinet Shelf - 10in Deep Fixed Cantilever Tray - Rackmount Shelf for 19" AV/Data/Network Equipment Enclosure with Cage Nuts & Screws - 44lbs Capacity (CABSHELFV1U) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071KW94ZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_A5VWFb1R3HDXT

Which were for the OPNSense router and cable modem and PiHole RasPi box.

Rolled steel and pretty sturdy.

Yeah it works great for my needs. Vented and can hold quite a bit.

Use a rack shelf? Probably less expensive than any official Cisco rack mount kit.

if your devices are all 12v, they'll take what amps they need.

if you need some 9v devices, you can add a buck converter for their plug to drop the 12v down for that particular device. https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Converter-1-25-36v-Efficiency-Regulator/dp/B079N9BFZC/

Some quick googling does not bring much up. It seems like they ship with the rack hardware when bought new and are otherwise unavailable.

Posting to the forums and PM'ing the person who responded there may help. They are end of sale though so you may be out of luck.

The alternative is to buy a 1u shelf.

Would this work? I'm thinking of screws and nuts securing the pi's and some sort of wiring holder into position.

If not, then I was looking at this yesterday.
