Middle Atlantic Products Stand Alone Rack With Rear Door
The WRK-SA stand-alone rack from Middle Atlantic is purpose-built for professional environments where equipment demands a wider footprint to accommodate thicker cable bundles and improved cooling airflow. This model emphasizes stand-alone versatility, allowing secure placement in a variety of rooms—from control rooms and AV studios to data suites and classrooms—without sacrificing serviceability. With fixed solid sides and a rear door, it delivers robust security, controlled airflow, and streamlined cable management, ensuring reliable performance for critical gear. Whether you’re mounting racks of loud amplifiers, network switches, or media servers, the WRK-SA helps keep temperatures down and organization up, even in high-density installations where space and airflow are at a premium. Designed to integrate with standard 19-inch equipment, it provides the durability and professional aesthetics required for demanding environments while maintaining accessible maintenance and scalable expansion. In short, this rack is built to simplify installation, extensor-ready for growth, and tuned to preserve the integrity of your most important gear through superior airflow management and security features.
- Stand-alone design with rear door for easy access: Provides convenient service access from the back, simplifying maintenance, upgrades, and cable management without disturbing mounted equipment. This design minimizes downtime and makes reconfigurations faster in busy environments.
- Wider footprint for thicker cable bundles and improved cooling: The WRK-SA series intentionally broadens the base to accommodate dense cabling and promote better airflow through the cabinet, helping to prevent heat buildup in busy installations and preserving equipment longevity.
- Fixed solid sides for security and airflow control: Solid side panels deter tampering while directing airflow precisely where you want it, ensuring critical hardware receives consistent cooling and reducing hotspots during peak usage.
- Compatibility with standard 19-inch equipment: Designed to house a wide range of rack-mount gear—from AV processors and amplifiers to switches and servers—allowing a clean, professional installation that aligns with industry standards.
- Durable construction and smart design: Engineered for long-term reliability in professional settings, with thoughtful cable routing, door clearance, and structural integrity that support regular handling, upgrades, and service visits without compromising performance.

How to install Middle Atlantic Products Stand Alone Rack With Rear Door
- Choose a level, sturdy location with adequate floor space, ventilation, and clear access to the rear of the cabinet for cable routing and maintenance. Ensure the floor can safely support the anticipated load of all mounted equipment.
- Unpack and inspect all components, then align the rack in the chosen position. Confirm there is sufficient clearance for door operation, cable entry, and rear access work zones before proceeding with mounting.
- Install equipment using standard 19-inch rack-mount methods. Begin with heavier items at the bottom to optimize weight distribution, and install any rails, shelves, or mounting brackets as specified by the gear manufacturers.
- Route power, data, and signal cables with careful attention to airflow. Use the rack’s cable management features to organize runs, keep cables grouped, and maintain front-to-back clearance to maximize cooling efficiency.
- Attach the rear door securely and verify smooth operation. Check that door alignment does not bind cables and that the door closes fully to preserve security and airflow paths.
- Perform a staged power-up and basic functionality test for all devices. Label cables and create a simple floor plan or map for future upgrades, with notes on port assignments and airflow considerations to simplify maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: Is this rack suitable for high-density installations?
A: Yes. The WRK-SA’s wider footprint and rear-door design support thicker cable bundles and enhanced airflow, which helps manage heat in high-density setups. Always verify your cooling capacity for sustained load. -
Q: Can I use non-standard equipment in this rack?
A: The rack is designed for standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment. Check the mounting depth, weight, and mounting hole patterns of your devices to ensure compatibility with the rack’s specifications. -
Q: Does the rear door affect service access?
A: Not at all. The rear door is intended to streamline maintenance and upgrades by enabling convenient back-of-rack cabling and component servicing without disturbing mounted gear. -
Q: How does the fixed solid side impact airflow?
A: Fixed solid sides help control airflow direction, reducing turbulence around critical components and supporting a more predictable cooling path, which can improve reliability in busy installations.
