This unit is designed for zip ties or velcro to be used to secure devices down but they also have stronger solid shelves. The lack of cage nuts makes sense for this model as it is aim more towards AV installations which tend to use racks with embedded threaded screw holes. This also explains why it is a tad narrower than what you’d expect for a 19″ shelf. Due note the mounting holes are quite a wide oval shape.

The more interesting Middle Atlantic product I’ve used is there DC power supplies which offer 5V, 12V, 18V and 24V options that have a few mix and match options. The key advantage here is that it reduces the number of power bricks that’d need to be installed inside of a rack to support smaller gear and adapters. I’ve spoken with their reps and pitched the idea of it also supporting dual AC power inputs and/or a battery backup unit but no such ideal product has arrived.
