Middle Atlantic Riser Base, 2 Bay, 27"D, BGR Racks

Engineered for professional AV and data installations, the Middle Atlantic Riser Base provides a timesaving, practical solution for rough-in rack work. This 2-1/2" high base is designed to pair with 2-Bay BGR rack configurations, delivering a clean, stable platform that raises the rack and creates a dedicated under-base channel for cables. The base footprint matches standard rack sizes, ensuring precise alignment and predictable mounting. With heavy-duty welded construction and a durable black powder coat finish, it withstands the rigors of busy equipment rooms, ensuring long-lasting performance. By allowing cables to pass underneath the rack, it simplifies wire management, improves airflow, and reduces installation time—key benefits for installers, integrators, and technicians working on commercial AV, control rooms, data centers, or broadcast facilities. Whether you’re rough-in wiring for new builds or expanding an existing rack system, this riser base helps you stage components quickly, route cabling cleanly, and avoid rework later in the project. In short, it combines rugged reliability with practical design to keep your rack installations neat, accessible, and future-ready.

  • Time-saving rough-in system that accelerates cabling and gear placement by providing a ready-to-use base with integrated under-base pass-throughs, helping you move from rough-in to finished installation faster.
  • 2-Bay configuration designed to match standard Middle Atlantic BGR rack footprints, ensuring precise alignment, uniform appearance, and reliable support for mounted equipment.
  • 2-1/2" base height creates airspace and cable routing room beneath the rack, reducing interference with power or network cables while improving ventilation and heat dissipation around deployed gear.
  • Heavy-duty welded construction with a black powder coat finish delivers rugged durability, corrosion resistance, and a professional look that holds up in demanding environments like data rooms, control rooms, and staging areas.
  • Under-base cable routing capability keeps cables neatly organized out of sight and away from moving components, enabling easier serviceability, future expansions, and a cleaner overall install.

How to install Middle Atlantic Riser Base, 2 Bay, 27"D, BGR Racks

Before you begin, power down any affected equipment and ensure you have a stable, level work area. The riser base is intended to sit beneath a 2-Bay BGR rack and raise the entire assembly by 2-1/2 inches, creating a dedicated space for cables to pass underneath. Follow these steps for a secure, efficient installation:

  • Step 1: Verify compatibility and prepare your workspace. Confirm that the rack size matches a 2-Bay BGR configuration and that the floor or cabinet surface is level to prevent wobble after installation.
  • Step 2: Position the riser base beneath the rack footprint. Align the base so it sits squarely under the rack’s base rails or mounting points, ensuring even contact with the supporting surface.
  • Step 3: Secure the base according to your facility’s standards. Use the appropriate fasteners or mounting hardware recommended by Middle Atlantic for the specific cabinet, rack, or floor installation. Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specs to prevent movement while maintaining a clean underside channel for cables.
  • Step 4: Route cables beneath the base. Create orderly under-base pathways for power, data, audio, and control lines. Use cable organizers or ties to keep cables separated from any equipment mounted on the rack to minimize strain and wear.
  • Step 5: Install or slide the rack onto the riser base. Ensure the rack sits securely on the base and aligns with any fixed rails or anchors. Check that there is even clearance on all sides for optimal ventilation.
  • Step 6: Reconnect and organize. Reconnect equipment as needed, then label and map cables for future service. Confirm that all connections are secure and that cable routing under the base does not impede access to panels or doors.
  • Step 7: Test the system. Power up the equipment and verify that all equipment operates correctly, airflow remains unobstructed, and there are no signs of strain on cables or connectors.
  • Step 8: Final inspection. Perform a visual check of the completed installation, ensuring a clean, professional appearance and that the under-base cable routing remains tidy and accessible for future changes.
