Middle Atlantic ERK Series 44RU AV Floor Standing Rack - 20in Depth Floor Standing Cabinet

The ERK Series 44RU AV Floor Standing Rack from Middle Atlantic is engineered to meet the demanding needs of professional AV environments while delivering practical value. This economical standalone rack is built with solid sides to help preserve temperature control and security for sensitive equipment. With a generous 44RU capacity and a compact 20-inch depth, it fits a wide range of standard 19-inch gear—from power distribution and patch panels to servers, routers, amplifiers, and AV processors. The ERK design supports flexible installations, including ganged multi-bay configurations for larger rooms or data centers where thermal management and space efficiency matter most. Seismically certified when used with ERK-Z4 brackets, this rack offers an added layer of protection for critical gear in environments that demand stability against movement. The fully welded construction ensures rigidity and durability, making it a reliable backbone for broadcasting studios, control rooms, corporate AV suites, and education facilities that require consistent performance year after year.

  • 44RU capacity in a space-conscious 20" deep footprint—maximize gear density without sacrificing front and rear access for service and cable management.
  • Solid side panels for security and environmental control—help preserve cooling efficiency and reduce accidental tampering while keeping dust and debris at bay.
  • Fully welded, rigid construction—delivers dependable support for heavy equipment and ensures long-term durability in busy AV environments.
  • Ganging capability for partitioned multi-bay installations—seamlessly combine multiple ERK racks to create modular configurations that optimize space, airflow, and maintenance workflows.
  • Seismic certification with ERK-Z4 brackets—provides enhanced protection for mounted components in areas with vibration or seismic concerns, ensuring peace of mind for critical deployments.

How to Install Middle Atlantic ERK Series 44RU AV Floor Standing Rack

  • Plan your space and layout—measure the room to ensure adequate clearance for front and rear access, doors, ventilation, and cable routing. Decide whether you will install a single cabinet or create a multi-bay configuration by ganging ERK racks using the ERK-Z4 brackets for seamless alignment and optimal airflow.
  • Prepare the location—clear the area of obstacles, verify floor integrity, and confirm electrical sourcing for connected equipment. If you anticipate seismic concerns, coordinate with your installer to position and anchor cabinets according to local codes and ERK-Z4 mounting guidelines.
  • Unpack and inspect—carefully remove the ERK cabinet from packaging and inspect for shipping damage. Check that all components (doors, panels, rails, brackets) are present and undamaged before proceeding.
  • Install rails and rack components—attach the 19" rack rails and mount the equipment in a balanced pattern. Heaviest gear should be near the bottom to lower the center of gravity, with a deliberate weight distribution to maintain stable operation and serviceability.
  • Manage cables and airflow—route cables along integrated management paths, label each connection, and leave space for cross-ventilation. Use cable ties and organizers to maintain tidy bundles and reduce heat build-up.
  • Configure multi-bay or seismic protection if required—for installations that demand higher density or seismic resilience, install ERK-Z4 brackets to join adjacent ERK cabinets and to secure the assembly. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance to ensure proper alignment and fastener torque.
  • Close, test, and document—close all panels and doors, power on gear to verify proper operation, and document the layout, cabling, and measurements for future maintenance.
