Middle Atlantic GRK Series Rack, 40 RU, 30" Deep

The GRK Series Rack from Middle Atlantic is a versatile welded gangable solution engineered for demanding AV and IT environments where space is at a premium and cable density is high. The 40 RU capacity with a 30" depth provides generous vertical and horizontal room for heavy-duty video cable bundles, multiformat patching, power distribution, and front-to-back management, all within a compact footprint. This rack is designed to endure rigorous installations—from broadcast control rooms to control suites, post-production suites, and enterprise AV networks—without sacrificing accessibility or performance. The solid frame top and bottom deliver superior rigidity, reducing flex during loading and service, while the welded construction supports long-term durability even in vibration-prone environments. Whether you need a single narrow bay or a multi-bay configuration, the GRK Series is built to scale, enabling you to add bays later with minimal disruption. The ability to select horizontal or vertical lacing adds a vital layer of flexibility for technicians who demand precise cable organization, clean airflow, and accelerated maintenance. In short, the GRK Series Rack is a practical, durable, and scalable choice for high-density installations where reliability and cabling efficiency are paramount.

• Narrow multi-bay footprint optimized specifically for high-density video cable bundles, allowing you to maximize rack space without compromising accessibility or serviceability.
• Welded, gangable frame delivers robust rigidity and straightforward expansion, making it simple to create larger, multi-rack configurations as your equipment list grows.
• Flexible cabling with horizontal or vertical lacing options enable precise, tidy cable management and improved airflow, which helps maintain signal integrity and system cooling.
• Solid top and bottom frame provide enduring structural support and enhanced stability, preserving alignment and reducing wear through frequent reconfigurations.
• 40 RU capacity at 30" depth balances ample internal space for equipment, cabling, and accessories while keeping the installation compact for space-constrained rooms.

How to install Middle Atlantic GRK Series Rack

Before you begin, assess your space and plan your bay layout to determine how many GRK units you will deploy and where access points will be located. Start with a clean, level floor and secure mounting points in accordance with facility guidelines. Place the GRK rack in the designated area and verify that the 30" depth will not interfere with doors, ceilings, or surrounding equipment. Install any required mounting rails or accessories as recommended by Middle Atlantic for your specific model and application. If you are building a multi-bay configuration, align adjacent racks carefully to ensure seamless alignment and to maintain consistent cable routing channels between bays. Route power cables, video, data, and control lines using the horizontal or vertical lacing options to maximize space and minimize stress on conductors. Use cable management arms, panels, and ducting to preserve airflow and reduce heat buildup, keeping critical equipment within its thermal design parameters. Once cabling is arranged, perform a final check for clearance around front and rear access points, verify that all equipment is secured, and power up the system to confirm proper operation. Regular maintenance, including periodic reorganization of lacing as equipment changes, will help sustain performance and prolong the life of the rack and its components.
