Middle Atlantic DWR Series 24RU Rack Rail – 10-32 Threaded – 2 Pack

The Middle Atlantic DWR Series 24RU Rack Rail is engineered for professional environments where reliability, stability, and easy service access are non-negotiable. These heavy‑gauge rails are designed to anchor a substantial amount of equipment in standard 19-inch racks while maintaining precise alignment and long-term durability. With 10-32 threading, they offer broad compatibility with a wide range of standard rack-mount gear, helping you minimize adapter requirements and maximize uptime. Sold in a convenient 2-pack, the DWR-RR24 rails are ideal for configuring a new rack installation, replacing worn rails, or expanding capacity in a growing AV, data, or broadcast system. Built to withstand the rigors of daily rig life—repeated gear changes, cable management tasks, and routine maintenance—these rails keep heavy gear secure, accessible, and correctly oriented for front and rear connections. If you’re looking for a dependable mounting solution that combines strength, compatibility, and ease of use, the DWR Series 24RU rails are designed to deliver.

• Robust, heavy‑gauge construction for long-term reliability: Crafted to resist bending and sag under heavy equipment, these rails provide rock-solid support across the full 24U footprint without compromising alignment.
• Standard 19-inch rack compatibility with 24U capacity: Specifically tailored for standard 19-inch racks, they offer ample height to accommodate servers, amplifiers, patch panels, and other rack-mount gear in a compact footprint.
• 10-32 threaded mounting holes for broad gear compatibility: The widely used 10-32 thread pattern ensures secure attachment for a broad spectrum of rack-mount hardware without requiring adapters or custom fasteners.
• Two-rail pack for quick setup and balanced load distribution: Sold in pairs, these rails enable symmetric mounting on opposite sides of a rack, promoting stable, level installation and easier future maintenance.
• Designed for precise alignment and ease of service: Tolerances and mounting geometry are engineered to keep rails square, simplify equipment swapping, and support clean cable management in busy rack environments.

how to install Middle Atlantic DWR Series 24RU Rack Rail

Installing the DWR-RR24 rails is straightforward in a standard 19-inch rack. Follow these steps to ensure a precise, secure setup that maximizes equipment stability and service accessibility:

• Prepare the rack: Identify the front of the rack and determine the exact mounting height for your gear, considering cable routing and ventilation needs to maintain optimal airflow.
• Position the rails: Align the rails with the rack posts so that the 10-32 threaded holes line up with the rack’s mounting points. Use a level to verify that both rails are perfectly horizontal and parallel to each other for even load distribution.
• Attach the rails: Secure the rails to the rack posts using compatible 10-32 mounting hardware. Begin with one fastener per rail to hold alignment, then add remaining screws in a crisscross pattern to ensure even seating. Be careful not to over-tighten, which can distort the rail.
• Mount equipment: With the rails firmly affixed, slide your 19-inch rack-mount equipment onto the rails and align mounting holes with the rails’ threaded holes. Secure gear using the appropriate hardware, paying attention to the correct torque to avoid deforming chassis rails or mounting brackets.
• Verify and test: Check alignment again after gear is mounted, confirm that there is no interference with cables or adjacent devices, and gently test the stability of the installed equipment by applying light horizontal pressure. Ensure front and rear ports remain accessible for maintenance and reconfiguration.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment will Middle Atlantic DWR Series 24RU Rack Rails support?

The DWR-RR24 rails are designed for standard 19-inch rack-mounted equipment and provide support for up to 24 rack units. They utilize the 10-32 threaded mounting pattern, a common standard in pro AV, data, and telecom gear, making them compatible with a wide range of devices and mounting brackets.

Are these rails sold in sets, and what’s included?

Yes. The Middle Atlantic DWR Series 24RU Rack Rail is sold as a 2-pack, giving you two rails to outfit one rack on opposite sides or to replace worn rails in a pair. This ensures balanced load distribution and consistent mounting performance across the rack system.

What does 10-32 threading mean for my gear?

10-32 threading refers to a common mounting hole size in rack systems—10‑32 UNC threads per inch. This standard compatibility makes it easy to pair the rails with a wide array of rack-mount hardware and accessories without adapters or custom fittings.

Is installation difficult or time-consuming?

Installation is straightforward for most standard 19-inch racks. The DWR-RR24 rails are designed for quick alignment and mounting, allowing you to secure rails and mount equipment with minimal downtime. With the right hardware and a few basic tools, a typical setup can be completed efficiently, even in busy environments.

Do these rails require any special tools?

No special tools are required beyond standard screwdrivers or wrenches appropriate for your rack mounting hardware. Depending on your rack and equipment, you may use a basic Phillips or flat-head screwdriver or an Allen key to tighten 10-32 fasteners securely.
