Description

The Middle Atlantic CFR Series CFR-13-16 is a purpose-built, low-profile rack solution designed to maximize usable rack space in tight environments. Built for professional AV deployments, this rugged frame helps you pre-load equipment in the shop, streamline on-site installation, and keep cabling clean and accessible in constrained spaces such as living room home theaters, compact broadcast corners, cabinet systems, or hospitality AV racks. With a slender silhouette and ample internal clearance, the CFR-13-16 delivers dependable support for a wide range of devices—from media players and amplifiers to patch panels and interfaces—without sacrificing back-panel access, cooling paths, or overall room aesthetics. The welded steel construction provides the durability needed for frequent handling, transport, and quick deployment, while its thoughtful design supports efficient cable management and clean organization in crowded environments. In short, the CFR-13-16 combines compact dimensions with uncompromising rigidity and pre-loading efficiency to help AV installers, system integrators, and technicians deliver professional results on time and on budget.

  • Maximized space in tight environments: A low-profile footprint preserves room for additional gear while maintaining full access to rear connections, power distribution, and cooling paths.
  • Rugged welded steel frame: The CFR-13-16 is engineered for durability, stability, and long-term performance in busy installs where equipment may be moved or reconfigured.
  • Pre-loading friendly design: Plan, mount, test, and organize components in the shop, then transport a ready-to-install rack to the job site for rapid deployment.
  • Clean cable management and service access: Thoughtful cable pathways help constrain bundles, reduce tangling, and promote airflow, making maintenance and upgrades easier over time.
  • Versatile fit for a range of AV gear: Suitable for wall-mounted enclosures, cabinet systems, and AV racks in home theaters, control rooms, hotels, and conference venues.

how to install Middle Atlantic CFR-13-16 CFR Series Rack

  • Plan your rack layout by measuring available depth and height in the installation site. Confirm that the 13U height and 16-inch depth fit within the intended cabinet, wall enclosure, or freestanding rack space.
  • Prepare the pre-loaded components in the shop whenever possible. Mount modular devices, patch panels, and power distribution units in staged positions to verify fit, cable clearances, and wiring pathways before transport.
  • Safely transport the CFR-13-16 to the job site, ensuring that all equipment remains secure and aligned with the rack frame. Handle with care to preserve alignment of rails and panels.
  • Move the rack into position and secure it to the appropriate mounting points. Verify that the frame remains plumb and stable, then connect to mains power and network connections as needed.
  • Route cables through the built-in pathways, maintaining clean, organized bundles. Leave sufficient slack for maintenance and future upgrades, and ensure airflow paths are unobstructed.
  • Install front and rear devices, tighten mounting hardware to recommended torque, and perform a functional test to verify connectivity, power, and signal integrity across the system.
  • Document equipment placement and cable layout for future service calls or reconfigurations, and label cables for quick identification during routine maintenance.
