Middle Atlantic DRK19-44-36 DRK Series Rack

The DRK19-44-36 from Middle Atlantic’s DRK Series is a purpose-built rack enclosure crafted for high-density cable management and professional network patching. With a generous 30" wide footprint, this rack delivers abundant internal space for wiring, panels, and power distribution while accommodating standard 19" panel width equipment. Designed for data centers, telecom rooms, and any cable-heavy environments, the DRK19-44-36 blends rugged construction with thoughtful cable routing, accessibility, and serviceability. It’s the ideal solution for integrators and IT professionals who demand clean organization, scalable growth, and reliable performance from a single, durable rack enclosure. Whether you’re mounting patch panels, switches, or multi-port adapters, this DRK Series rack provides the flexibility, airflow, and user-friendly features required to manage dense cabling without sacrificing speed or reliability.

  • High-density cable management design: The DRK19-44-36 delivers strategic cable pathways, generous internal space, and access points that simplify complex patching setups. Its layout minimizes cable clutter, reduces signal interference, and speeds up installation and maintenance by keeping cables neatly organized and easy to reconfigure as networks evolve.
  • 30" wide footprint for abundant internal clearance: This wide footprint creates a roomy interior that accommodates multiple rows of 19" equipment, patch panels, power distribution units, and extensive cabling. The expanded width makes it possible to route cables with fewer bends and better airflow, which contributes to cooler operation and longer component life—essential for high-density data centers and network closets.
  • 19" panel width compatibility for standard gear: Engineered to support industry-standard 19" equipment, the DRK19-44-36 integrates seamlessly with racks, chassis, and enclosures commonly used in IT rooms. This compatibility ensures you can deploy familiar gear—routers, switches, patch panels, and server blades—without compensating for non-standard dimensions.
  • Durable, service-friendly construction: Built from robust materials with a thoughtful finish, the DRK Series enclosure stands up to demanding environments. It is designed for long-term reliability in professional network settings, offering easy access to rear channels, cable trays, and mounting rails so you can complete installations and swaps quickly with minimal downtime.
  • Optimized for network patching and cable-heavy applications: The DRK19-44-36’s architecture emphasizes clean patching workflows, simplified cable routing, and scalable expansion. Ideal for network patch bays, telecom rooms, and data-center edge installations, this rack helps technicians deliver professional results with less effort, fewer errors, and improved airflow management for cooling efficiency.

how to install DRK19-44-36

Installing the DRK19-44-36 is straightforward when you follow a few best-practice steps. Begin by selecting a suitable location with adequate ventilation and access for cables. Ensure the surface or rack frame you plan to mount the enclosure on can support the combined weight of full equipment bays plus cables. Prepare the interior by planning the path of power cables, data cables, and patch cords to minimize tangling and maximize airflow.

1) Unpack and inspect: Confirm that all components are present and undamaged. Review the included mounting rails, cage nuts, and any door or panel hardware. 2) Plan mounting rails: Decide the orientation (front or rear mounting rails) that best suits your gear layout and cable routing needs. Install mounting rails to the DRK enclosure according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, using the appropriate cage nuts and screws for your equipment depth. 3) Install equipment: Starting with the heaviest items, mount 19" equipment into the rails, threading cables cleanly through grommets and routing paths. Leave adequate clearance around front-to-back airflow and ensure no cables block doors or panels. 4) Route cables: Use built-in channels, trays, and tie-off points to organize power and data cabling. Keep power cables separate from data cables where possible to minimize electrical interference. Label cables at both ends for faster maintenance. 5) Close and test: Reinstall doors and panels, verify access to all ports, and confirm that all gear powers on without obstruction. Check airflow, cable management effectiveness, and make any necessary adjustments to maintain clean patching workflows. 6) Maintenance tips: Periodically inspect cable ties and routing paths, clean dust from vents, and confirm that equipment remains properly mounted as you add or remove components. A well-organized DRK rack reduces service time, simplifies upgrades, and helps sustain performance over time.
