Middle Atlantic Mounting Rail Kit for Rack Rail

Engineered by Middle Atlantic, the Mounting Rail Kit for Rack Rail delivers dependable, flexible mounting for professional AV racks. This steel kit includes all necessary brackets, rails, and hardware to adapt to a wide range of rack configurations, making mid- and rear-hanging installations straightforward and secure. Designed for durability in demanding environments, it integrates seamlessly with most side panels and supports efficient cable management and equipment stacking. Whether you’re outfitting a broadcasting set, a corporate enterprise rack, or a data center AV cabinet, this kit provides a reliable foundation for high-density, organized gear.

• Adjustable, split design for mid- and rear-hanging support — The rails are engineered with a versatile split mechanism that allows you to configure mounting depth and hang options to suit your equipment lineup. This flexibility helps you optimize weight distribution, improve accessibility to rear connections, and maintain airflow in compact rack rooms.
• Includes brackets, rails, and mounting hardware — Everything you need is provided in a single package, reducing the number of parts you must source separately. The included brackets and rails are designed for quick alignment, smooth installation, and a secure fit that stays aligned even with frequent rack reconfigurations.
• Durable steel construction with powder-coated finish — Built to withstand the rigors of busy rack environments, the mounting rails resist wear from repeated gear changes and handling. The powder-coated finish adds corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance that stays consistent over time.
• Cable management awareness — For clean, professional installations, a cable chase kit is required when used with ganged racks. This feature helps you conceal cables, improve airflow, and reduce clutter behind the rack doors, contributing to easier maintenance and better signal integrity.
• Wide compatibility with side panels — The kit is designed to work with all side panels, enabling straightforward retrofits and reconfigurations without replacing hardware. It also facilitates rear-hanging of equipment to maximize floor-to-cable clearance and streamline cabling paths for reliable performance.
