Whether you’re outfitting a broadcast studio, data room, control room, or home theater rack, this cabinet delivers the durability, stability, and clean aesthetic that professionals demand.

• 44U capacity offers ample space for a broad range of equipment, from servers, switches, and patch panels to power distribution units and accessories, helping you consolidate gear into a single, organized enclosure. This generous height allows scalable configurations as your system grows, reducing the need for constant cabinet swaps and equipment re-arrangements.
• Rear door access simplifies maintenance and cable management, allowing technicians to reach back-panel connections and power strips without contorting around front-mounted equipment. The rear-access design enhances workflow during installs, upgrades, and routine servicing, helping you keep downtime to a minimum.

The robust construction is designed to withstand daily use, minor impacts, and the rigors of installation in studio, IT closet, or back-of-house spaces, preserving equipment integrity over time.
• Classic black finish provides a professional, low-profile look that blends seamlessly with most interiors and themes. The powder-coated surface resists scratches and wear, maintaining a clean, high-contrast appearance for easy identification of mounted gear and accessories.
• Standard 19-inch equipment compatibility ensures broad device interoperability with universal mounting rails and standard rack spacing. This makes it easy to mount a wide array of equipment from multiple manufacturers, simplifying inventory management and future upgrades.

How to install Middle Atlantic Products Rack with Rear Door

Installing this rack cabinet is a straightforward process that can be completed with a small team or by a confident individual. Follow these general steps to get your rack up and running smoothly:

• Choose a stable, level location with adequate floor space and clearance for rear door operation and cable routing. Ensure the area is free from moisture, extreme temperatures, and dust that could affect equipment performance.
• Unpack the cabinet and inspect for any shipping damage or missing hardware. Verify that the rear door and mounting rails are present and free of defects before beginning installation.
• Position the cabinet in the desired orientation and level it using built-in feet or casters if provided. A level cabinet ensures proper mounting of equipment and reduces stress on rails and doors during use.
• Install the mounting rails or rack shelves according to the equipment you plan to host. Align rails precisely to maintain correct 19-inch spacing and to prevent interference with the rear door and airflow paths. Secure rails firmly to the cabinet frame to support the weight of deployed gear.
• Mount equipment to the rails in a balanced manner, distributing heavier devices toward the bottom to lower the center of gravity and improve stability. Leave adequate space behind devices to facilitate rear cabling and airflow where possible.
• Route cables through the rear door access and use any provided cable management features to organize power, data, and interconnects. Label cables clearly to simplify future maintenance and expansions.
• Close the rear door securely and perform a functional check. Verify that each device powers on correctly, that front and back connections are accessible, and that there is no interference with door operation or door hinges during full-closure.
