An extra tray for the 6U, not a 19-inch 10-inch-deep: NavePoint 10-inch shelf

The NavePoint 6U already ships two 10-inch shelves. Buy a third only if those two are full. 10-inch here is the rail width of a skinny wall cabinet, not a 19-inch tray labeled 10-inch deep.

Buy SKU 00406855 only if the two kit shelves are full. Amazon B0BNLZF1F1 printed $31.99 this pass. Maker card has printed $24.29 and gone empty. The 19-inch tray titled “10 inches (250mm deep)” will not hang here.

This tray is 10-inch wide. 44 lb class. Black powder coat. Box: 4× M6 screws, 4× M6 washers, 4× M6 cage nuts. UPC 810100701925. Amazon dimensions on the card are a lazy 10×10×10 in cube. Trust the 10-inch-width series, not that cube. The 6U’s max mount depth is still 7 in on the 11.8 in cabinet. A fat NAS brick will not sit even with a third shelf.

Search “NavePoint 10 inch shelf” and Amazon also returns 1U 19-inch cantilevers whose depth is 10 in. Example: universal tray B0794QJR33, ~$49, 17.5 × 9.75 in surface, “Fits all Standard 19" Racks.” That is the 19-inch 1U shelf job, not this cabinet.

Skip

Skip a third shelf because the photo looks empty. Skip any “10 inch” tray whose spec also says 19-inch EIA. Skip glass-door extras, RGB, and eBay lots. Skip hanging a 19-inch UPS on this tray. If the wall will take 19-inch, the whole cabinet was the wrong buy. See 12U vs 10-inch.
