Middle Atlantic Products Sectional Wall Rack
The Middle Atlantic Products Sectional Wall Rack is a purpose-built 12U rack cabinet designed to maximize wall space without compromising on strength, accessibility, or professional appearance. Built for busy AV, IT, and telecom environments, this compact, black rack brings modular versatility to your installation—allowing you to configure, expand, and reconfigure as your equipment and requirements evolve. With its sturdy steel construction and thoughtful design, this sectional wall rack blends seamlessly into executive suites, control rooms, and server closets alike, delivering dependable protection for your gear while simplifying cable management and daily maintenance.
-
Modular sectional design for flexible configuration: This wall rack is engineered as a modular system that can be assembled and reconfigured to fit a variety of spaces. Whether you’re retrofitting a tight AV booth, expanding a data closet, or creating a compact yet scalable control solution, the sectional approach lets you add or remove modules to optimize footprint, aligning with evolving rack layouts and workflow needs. The result is a highly adaptable solution that preserves valuable wall real estate while keeping critical equipment organized and accessible.
In practice, the modular concept reduces downtime during upgrades and reconfigurations. You can stage different modules off-wall and then integrate them in minutes, which is a boon for installers and facilities teams alike. The ability to tailor the cabinet to available depth, mounting points, and equipment variety translates into faster deployments, cleaner cable runs, and a professional presentation that reflects attention to detail in every installation.
-
12U of reliable rack space for standard 19" equipment: The cabinet provides a full 12U height, designed to accommodate a wide range of 19" rack-mounted gear—from network switches and patch panels to compact servers, audio processors, and AV routers. The 12U allocation gives you ample vertical real estate to install equipment with standard rack rails while maintaining comfortable access for installation and service. This balance of capacity and accessibility is ideal for space-constrained rooms where every inch counts, helping you consolidate gear without sacrificing performance or airflow considerations.
With 12U in reserve, you can plan future growth, organize gear by function, and maintain an orderly rack presentation that simplifies maintenance. The design supports clean cable management and straightforward labeling, making routine inspections, inventory checks, and upgrades efficient and predictable—even in high-demand environments such as broadcast suites or conference rooms with frequent AV reconfigurations.
-
Durable black powder-coated steel finish for professional durability: The cabinet’s finish is chosen for its resilience and professional appeal. A black powder-coated exterior provides excellent scratch resistance and a discreet footprint that blends with most interiors—whether in a high-tech control room, a conference center, or a home theater rack setup. The robust steel construction is designed to withstand daily handling, cable routing, and occasional rearrangements, maintaining structural integrity over years of use.
Beyond looks, the finish and material choice contribute to long-term value by reducing maintenance costs. A solid, vibration- and impact-resistant cabinet helps protect sensitive equipment from incidental bumps and dust intrusion, supporting reliability in environments that see regular equipment changes or frequent servicing. The aesthetic harmonizes with other rack equipment and furniture finishes, delivering a cohesive, professional presentation for customers, end users, and technicians alike.
-
Ease of installation with wall-mount practicality: Designed for wall-mount applications, this sectional rack streamlines installation in rooms where floor space is at a premium. The wall-mount emphasis reduces clutter on the floor, improves accessibility for equipment maintenance, and enables tidy cable management strategies behind doors and panels. Whether you’re mounting in a retrofit project or a new build, the design focuses on quick, secure attachment to wall surfaces, with clear alignment for mounting points and standardized rail compatibility.
Installers benefit from the intuitive layout, which supports efficient workspace organization and safer gear handling. The wall-mount approach also contributes to improved airflow around mounted equipment by keeping items elevated and accessible from the front and rear, enabling better thermal management and reducing heat buildup in compact installations. The result is a professional-grade rack solution that respects both form and function in demanding environments.
-
Integrated cable management and accessibility for clean, scalable installs: A well-planned cable strategy is essential for reliability and serviceability. This sectional wall rack provides thoughtful openings, access points, and routing paths designed to keep cables organized, labeled, and easy to trace. Proper cable management not only enhances aesthetics but also mitigates signal interference and cooling challenges by preventing tangles and airflow blockages. Front and rear access capabilities allow technicians to add, remove, or rearrange cables with minimal disruption to other equipment.
By enabling orderly cable runs, the rack helps facility managers maintain consistent performance across devices. Structured cabling reduces the risk of accidental unplugging, simplifies preventative maintenance, and speeds up troubleshooting. The black finish and compact silhouette support a clean, professional look while the internal routing options help keep floors, shelves, and wall space free from clutter—an important consideration in environments that require rapid reconfigurations and frequent hardware changes.
