Middle Atlantic OSR24 OSR Series 24U Floor-Standing Rack Cabinet
Designed for professional AV, IT, and rack-mount deployments, the Middle Atlantic OSR24 delivers reliable protection, superb accessibility, and a refined aesthetic that fits modern control rooms, studios, and data environments. This 24U floor-standing rack blends sturdy construction with an elegant oak laminate finish, creating a workspace-ready solution that keeps equipment organized, cool, and easy to manage. The OSR24 is built with the user workflow in mind, offering an intuitive mounting environment, thoughtful cable routing, and a gently sloped rack face that minimizes glare while maximizing visibility of front-panel indicators. Whether you’re housing network switches, audio processors, servers, or power distribution units, OSR24 provides robust support for daily operation and future expansion in a compact footprint.
- 24U rack height for expansive equipment mounting — The OSR24 provides 24 rack units of mounting space, enabling you to consolidate multiple devices in a single, accessible enclosure. With standardized 19" wide rails, you can install a broad mix of gear—from network switches and audio processors to compact servers and PDUs. The generous height supports future expansions without requiring a second cabinet. The roomy interior also promotes improved airflow and easier cable management paths, helping maintain performance and prolong the life of sensitive electronics in busy environments.
- 19" rack width and 19.24" depth for a compact yet versatile footprint — The OSR24 is designed to fit both tight control rooms and open workspaces. The standard 19" width enables compatibility with most rack-mount equipment, while the 19.24" depth accommodates a wide range of devices while leaving room to route cables behind front-mounting rails. This combination promotes clean installation, easier access to front panels, and efficient cooling—a critical factor for equipment-intensive configurations and high-density installations.
- Gently sloped 5° rack face for improved viewing and accessibility — The slight incline reduces glare from ambient lighting and provides easier viewing of front-panel indicators, displays, and LED status signals. The tilt facilitates quick gear identification at a glance, which is especially valuable in busy control rooms or media suites. It also helps with cable routing orientation, guiding cables toward the rear of the cabinet and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections during maintenance or reconfiguration.
- Durable oak laminate finish with MDF, steel, and wood construction — The cabinet combines an elegant oak laminate exterior with a robust internal structure. The MDF core, steel frame, and wood backing panels deliver long-lasting rigidity and resistance to daily wear in professional environments. The finish offers a sophisticated, timeless appearance that complements existing furnishings and AV/IT gear, and it stands up to routine cleaning with standard maintenance products used in data centers and broadcast facilities.
- Ready-to-assemble design with a robust 200 lb static weight capacity — The OSR24 ships in a straightforward, ready-to-assemble configuration for easy transport and rapid on-site setup. It supports a broad array of gear, from power distribution units and network switches to compact servers and audio/video processors, while the strong frame and mounting rails maintain rigidity and safety. Once assembled, the cabinet delivers a stable, level platform with dependable performance under everyday use, even when doors or panels are opened during maintenance or reconfiguration.

how to install Middle Atlantic OSR24
- Unpack and inspect components — Begin by carefully removing all panels, rails, and hardware from the crate. Check for any shipping damage and verify that all listed components are present per the included hardware diagram and instruction sheet.
- Position the cabinet — Choose a level surface with adequate ventilation. If the floor is uneven, use shims or adjustable feet (if provided) to ensure the cabinet sits perfectly level, which is critical for door alignment and weight distribution.
- Assemble the base and frame — Follow the manufacturer’s assembly sequence to construct the frame. Begin with the base, attach vertical supports, and secure cross-bracing as required. Use the supplied hardware and ensure all fasteners are tightened to the recommended torque to avoid flexing or misalignment.
- Attach 19" mounting rails — Install front and rear 19" mounting rails inside the cabinet, ensuring rails are plumb and aligned with the 24U marks. If adjustable rails are included, position them to accommodate your planned equipment depth and cable-management strategy.
- Mount equipment and route cables — Begin mounting devices from the bottom up to maintain a stable center of gravity. Plan cable routing paths, leave space for airflow, and thread cables through rear access channels or grommets as provided. Use cable ties or management accessories to keep the interior tidy and accessible for future changes.
- Attach doors/panels and verify clearance — Reinstall any doors, panels, or covers according to the instructions. Check for smooth operation, clearances around vents, and unobstructed front-panel access. Confirm that the 5° face slope remains unobstructed and that the cabinet is level once all components are in place.
- Final checks and commissioning — Recheck all fasteners, confirm weight distribution is even, and ensure equipment is securely mounted. Power up devices in stages to verify that cooling and airflow are functioning as expected. Keep a maintenance log for future reference.
