Middle Atlantic BGR Series 45RU Forward Pre-Configured Rack - 32in Depth

The Middle Atlantic BGR Series 45RU Forward Pre-Configured Rack is an AV foundation Built for tomorrow’s speed. Crafted as a forward-configured, floor-standing cabinet, this unit brings together the essential accessories and options hand-selected by product experts with direct input from customers. The result is a single part number designed to streamline deployment, minimize assembly time, and deliver reliable performance in demanding AV and IT environments. With a generous 45U capacity and a deep 32-inch footprint, it accommodates a wide range of equipment—from AV switching matrices and power distribution to servers, professional media players, and complex cable trees—while maintaining clean cable management and robust airflow. This rack is built to simplify complex installations, reduce the friction of procurement, and keep future upgrades accessible through a scalable, standards-based design.

  • Forward Pre-Configured Advantage: The Forward configuration brings together a curated bundle of accessories and options hand-picked by veteran product experts. This means you get a complete, ready-to-deploy rack in a single SKU, minimizing guesswork and ensuring compatibility across devices. The forward approach reduces installation time, eliminates the need to source multiple components separately, and delivers a consistent, repeatable setup for multiple rooms or projects.
  • 45RU Capacity with 32in Depth for Rich Equipment Accommodation: With 45 rack units of space, this cabinet supports a broad mix of AV gear and IT components. The 32-inch depth provides ample rear space for cable runs, power distribution, and cooling components, helping to prevent cable crowding and promoting better airflow. Whether you’re mounting large video walls, multi-disk servers, or extensive patching arrays, the depth and height combine to maximize usable footprint while keeping access convenient for maintenance and upgrades.
  • Durable Construction and Secure Access: Built from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a durable powder coat, the BGR Series cabinet delivers long-term rigidity and resilience in busy environments. Front and rear doors are designed for secure access, with locking mechanisms to protect sensitive equipment and cabling. The robust frame and reinforced joints resist flex and vibration, ensuring gear stays properly aligned during transport, service, and daily operation.
  • Advanced Cable Management and Ventilation: The cabinet includes integrated cable management features and ventilated panels to support clean, organized wiring and efficient airflow. Rear channeling, brush grommets, and perforated front/rear panels help minimize heat buildup and simplify cable routing. With dedicated paths for power, data, and video, this rack reduces signal interference and makes maintenance quicker and safer.
  • Flexible, Scalable Design for Long-Term Value: The BGR Forward Pre-Configured Rack is designed to grow with your needs. It supports standard 19-inch rack-mount gear and is compatible with a wide range of Middle Atlantic accessories for mounting, power distribution, cooling, and cable management. The single SKU approach simplifies reordering, replacements, and future expansions, providing a scalable solution that adapts to evolving AV and IT requirements without compromising performance.

How to install Middle Atlantic BGR Series 45RU Forward Pre-Configured Rack - 32in Depth

  • Prepare the installation area by clearing space, verifying floor leveling, and ensuring adequate ventilation and access for transport and setup. Confirm that there is sufficient clearance for opening doors and for cable routing behind the cabinet.
  • Unpack the Forward Pre-Configured rack components and verify that all included accessories are present. Check the parts list against the vendor’s documentation to confirm compatibility and completeness before beginning assembly.
  • Position the cabinet in the desired location and secure it to the floor if required by the installation site or local code. Use the provided leveling feet to ensure the cabinet sits square and stable on an even surface.
  • Install any optional casters or mobility accessories if included or desired for easier relocation. Ensure casters are rated for the load and that locking mechanisms are functional to prevent movement during operation.
  • Mount equipment using the standard 19-inch rack rails. Plan the layout to balance weight, airflow, and accessibility. Keep power supplies and heat-generating devices toward the bottom where feasible to assist with cooling and cable management. Use the integrated cable management features to route cables cleanly and avoid obstructions to doors or fans.
  • Connect power, network, and video devices as needed, paying attention to proper cable labeling and separation to minimize interference. Install any optional power distribution units (PDUs) or cooling accessories included in the Forward configuration, following manufacturer guidelines.
  • Close the cabinet doors, lock them, and perform a final check of all connections and door clearances. Test equipment once powered to verify proper seating, airflow, and accessibility for maintenance. Document the final configuration for facilities management and future upgrades.
