Middle Atlantic Riser Base, 1 Bay, 38"D – BGR Racks

Optimize every stage of your rack project with the Middle Atlantic Riser Base for 1 Bay, 38" D BGR Racks. This thoughtfully engineered base is a timesaving and practical solution for rough-in rack installations, delivering a stable platform that aligns with standard rack geometries and keeps cables neatly routed underneath. The 2-1/2" high base design is purpose-built to match rack sizes, providing a clean, professional foundation as you plan, rough-in, and finalize your equipment layout. With a 38" depth, it accommodates deeper gear and generous cable runs, enabling better airflow and easier maintenance. Built for demanding environments, the base features heavy-duty welded construction and a durable black powder coat finish that resists wear and looks great in data centers, AV control rooms, broadcast setups, and installation sites. Whether you’re wiring a new rack or upgrading an existing one, this riser base delivers reliability, simplicity, and a streamlined workflow.

• Timesaving and practical system for rough-in rack installations: This 2-1/2" high base aligns with standard rack widths and provides a dedicated channel beneath the rack for routed cables. By allowing cables to pass underneath, it eliminates crowding around feet or tight gaps after the rack is mounted, shaving hours off installation time and reducing risk of cable damage. The design supports organized, repeatable rough-in workflows, making it ideal for field technicians, integrators, and installation teams working on commercial AV, data, or broadcast environments. Its precise alignment with 19" rack standards ensures a predictable, scalable footprint across multiple racks in a single project.
• Heavy-duty welded construction with black powder coat finish: The riser base is built from welded steel for maximum rigidity and durability. The black powder coat finish protects against rust, corrosion, and abrasion while delivering a professional, low-reflective appearance that matches other Middle Atlantic components. This combination of strength and finish is designed to withstand the rigors of busy rack rooms, mobile installations, and long-term use in demanding environments where equipment and cables are frequently moved or adjusted.
• 38" depth for expanded equipment and cable management: A generous 38" depth accommodates deeper switchgear, servers, PDU units, and substantial cable bundles behind mounted equipment. This extra room supports better airflow, easier power and data cable routing, and more flexible placement of back-of-rack devices. The 38" depth also helps prevent congestion and allows technicians to keep heat-producing components away from the rack front for improved cooling efficiency and easier servicing.
• 1 Bay configuration designed for BGR Racks and standard 19" systems: The 1 Bay format integrates seamlessly with Middle Atlantic BGR Racks and other standard 19" rack frames, delivering a consistent, professional look across your installation. It provides stable support and predictable alignment with rack posts, rails, and accessories. This compatibility simplifies planning, ensures uniform spacing, and supports cohesive cable management strategies across multiple bays and enclosures.
• Time-saving integration for quick installations and long-term value: The riser base is crafted to complement a complete rough-in solution, enabling faster planning, easier cable routing, and quicker finalization of rack configurations. Its robust build and standardized dimensions help installers reuse components across projects, reduce the need for custom fabrications, and maintain consistent quality control from rough-in through to final commissioning. Over time, this reduces labor costs and supports scalable rack systems in environments ranging from studios and control rooms to data centers and industrial facilities.

how to install Middle Atlantic Riser Base, 1 Bay, 38"D, BGR Racks

• Prepare the workspace: Clear the installation area, verify the rack footprint, and confirm that the rack system is compatible with a 2-1/2" high base and 38" depth before you begin.
• Unpack and inspect: Remove the riser base from its packaging, check for any shipping damage, and ensure all necessary components are present before starting.
• Position the base: Place the riser base under the 1 Bay section of the rack frame and align it with the rack posts. Make sure the base sits level and centered to provide stable support for the rack and mounted equipment.
• Route cables: Before mounting equipment, plan and route cables beneath the rack using the base’s under-rack space. Separate power and data cables where possible to minimize interference and maintain airflow.
• Mount equipment and test: Slide or place the rack onto the base and secure as required by your rack system. Verify stability, cable clearance, and proper airflow around back-of-rack components. Perform a final check to confirm everything is secure and organized.
