PROEL ADRK2AZ - 2U (19 inch) ventilated universal rack tray with a depth of 371 mm
Optimize and organize your professional workspace with the PROEL ADRK2AZ rack tray. Designed specifically to integrate equipment that doesn't fit the standard 19-inch rack mount, this solution is essential for sound engineers, network technicians, and audiovisual installers who demand reliability and robustness. Manufactured to Proel's exacting quality standards, this tray provides a solid and secure platform for housing everything from wireless receivers and external hard drives to routers, modems, and power supplies.
The ADRK2AZ stands out for its superior durability. It's constructed from a 1.5 mm thick reinforced steel plate , ensuring excellent structural strength and preventing deformation even under the weight of heavy equipment. Its black finish (typically textured or matte) provides a professional and understated aesthetic that blends seamlessly into any server cabinet, flight case, or studio furniture, maintaining the visual consistency of your setup.
One of the strengths of this model is its multi-perforated surface . Unlike conventional solid trays, the design with slots and holes serves two critical functions: first, it facilitates optimal airflow , allowing the heat generated by the devices to dissipate naturally, which is vital for the longevity of the electronic components. Second, these perforations act as versatile anchor points, allowing equipment to be secured with cable ties, screws, or Velcro straps to prevent accidental movement during transport or daily use.
Main features
-
Universal 19" Compatibility": Designed to fit in any standard rack cabinet, occupying 2 units in height (2U).
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from 1.5mm thick steel sheet, offering superior rigidity compared to inexpensive thin-sheet trays.
-
Extended depth: With a usable depth of 371 mm , it is ideal for deeper equipment that would stick out in short trays.
-
Ventilated base: The perforation pattern maximizes vertical airflow, reducing the risk of overheating in dense racks.

Benefits of use
Implementing the PROEL ADRK2AZ tray in your setup provides an immediate improvement in security and organization . By providing a fixed location for loose equipment, it eliminates the clutter of cables and precariously stacked devices. Its open design allows for easy cable routing through the base if needed, enabling cleaner cable management. Furthermore, the robust 1.5 mm steel construction offers peace of mind knowing your valuable equipment is supported by a base that won't sag or vibrate—essential in critical audio environments where mechanical vibrations can be a problem.
Recommended use cases
-
Recording Studios: Perfect for holding desktop audio interfaces, external RAID hard drives, or small module synthesizers.
-

Home Systems and Home Cinema: To integrate video game consoles, TV decoders or multimedia players within a centralized technical cabinet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that it's 2U?
This means the tray occupies two vertical height units in a standard rack (approximately 8.89 cm), providing ample space to accommodate taller equipment or stack multiple slim devices with room for ventilation.
What are the holes in the base for?
The holes serve two purposes: they allow passive ventilation of the equipment placed above them and serve as anchor points to secure the devices with clamps or screws, preventing them from moving.
Is it compatible with all racks?
Yes, it is compatible with any cabinet or rack that follows the 19-inch width standard.
Does the tray include rack mounting hardware?
Generally, the trays do not include the fixing screws to the rack (screws, cage nuts and washers), as these usually come with the rack cabinet itself or are purchased separately depending on the type of rail.
