Product OverviewThe Middle Atlantic U1MP is a 50-piece master pack of the U1 1RU utility rack shelf, built for AV integration firms and IT departments that install rack shelves at volume across commercial deployments. Each shelf occupies one rack space and provides a 10.8-inch deep platform for mounting half-rack and non-rackmount components in standard 19-inch equipment racks. Ordering the master pack puts a full skid of individually packaged shelves in your warehouse, so project teams can pull stock job by job instead of placing repeat single-unit orders. It is a practical inventory position for integrators standardizing on Middle Atlantic rack accessories.Product DescriptionThe U1 utility rack shelf is one of the most frequently specified accessories in commercial AV rack building, and the U1MP master pack supplies it in the quantity volume installers actually consume. Each shelf is formed from welded steel with a black powder coat finish, giving it the rigidity to carry source components, network appliances, modulators, and small-form-factor devices that lack their own rack ears. The 1RU height keeps rack elevations compact, while the 10.8-inch depth suits the shallow electronics common in conference room and headend racks. Because every shelf in the pack is individually packaged, units stay protected in storage and can be issued to technicians or kitted into project bins without repacking. The 50 shelves ship together on a skid, simplifying receiving for purchasing and warehouse teams. For integrators delivering multi-room corporate fit-outs, campus refreshes, or rollout programs across many sites, buying shelf hardware as a master pack reduces per-unit cost handling and keeps a critical consumable on hand. The U1MP pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic enclosures and rack accessories already on your line card.
