Middle Atlantic SRK Series Rack, SRK

The Middle Atlantic SRK Series Rack, SRK is a compact, professional-grade 12U rack cabinet designed to fit standard 19" equipment in spaces where every inch counts. Built for dependable performance in control rooms, studios, broadcast suites, and IT closets, this rack blends a sleek black finish with sturdy construction to protect, organize, and facilitate easy access to your gear. With 12U of mounting space, a 19" width, and a shallow 16" depth, the SRK maximizes usable rack space while maintaining an efficient footprint for busy environments.

• Optimized rack dimensions for standard gear. The SRK delivers 12U of vertical mounting space, a 19" rack width (the industry standard for most servers, audio, video, and network devices), and a compact 16" depth. This combination makes it ideal for equipment like small servers, patch panels, power distributors, network switches, and audio interfaces, all within a single, neatly organized cabinet. The 12U height strikes a balance between accommodating multiple components and preserving floor space in tighter rooms or studios, enabling you to consolidate gear without overbuilding your rack footprint.
• Robust weight capacity for dependable installations. Designed to support up to 200 lb of equipment, the SRK handles a typical mix of gear used in professional environments. This generous capacity ensures that you can safely mount essential devices—servers, AV processors, amplifiers, consoles, and other rack-mounted hardware—without compromising stability or serviceability. The sturdy construction is built to withstand day-to-day use, giving you confidence during upgrades, maintenance, and routine reconfigurations.
• Professional aesthetic that fits modern environments. The SRK features a clean black finish that blends seamlessly into control rooms, studios, and IT closets. Its understated, professional look helps reduce visual clutter and enhances the overall appearance of your workspace. Whether you’re outfitting a high-end production room or a compact data closet, this rack projects a polished, organized impression while keeping critical equipment protected and accessible.
• Space-efficient design tailored for tight spaces. With a 16" depth, the SRK is purpose-built for environments where depth is a constraint. This compact footprint makes it easier to place the rack along walls, inside small equipment closets, or within broadcast booth enclosures without crowding airflow or access pathways. The lean profile enables better aisle clearance and simplifies cable management, while still offering ample vertical space for a diverse mix of rack-mounted devices.
• Versatile, dependable protection and organization. Beyond housing gear, the SRK helps keep equipment organized, protected, and easy to service. Its design supports tidy cable routing and straightforward access for maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting. By centralizing equipment in a single cabinet, you reduce cable clutter, improve airflow where possible, and simplify monitoring and management tasks in demanding AV, IT, and broadcast environments.
