Middle Atlantic Srs Series 19 Sliding Rail System 2 Slide 11 Space

Unlock rapid rear access to your rack-mounted equipment with the Middle Atlantic SRS Series 19" Sliding Rail System. This purpose-built rail solution is engineered for professional environments where dependable performance and efficient workflow matter. The SRS Series leverages a 2-slide, 11-space design to extend a full 19 inches, exposing rear panels, cable bundles, and power connections so technicians can install, inspect, and reconfigure gear without crawling behind equipment. Built to withstand the rigors of busy studios, control rooms, data centers, and AV installations, the SRS blends robust functionality with a sleek black powder-coated finish that integrates seamlessly into modern racks. By delivering enhanced accessibility, meticulous cable management, and improved airflow, this rail system minimizes downtime, reduces the risk of accidental disconnections, and helps maintain a clean, organized rack space. If you’re building a new rack or upgrading an existing one, the SRS Series is designed to optimize space, simplify routine servicing, and preserve security and stability—all without compromising on strength or reliability.

• Full rear access with 19-inch extension: The SRS slides out smoothly, revealing rear panels, connectors, and bundled cables so you can perform maintenance, reconfigure cabling, and test components without reaching behind dense equipment. This feature is especially valuable in high-density installations where components sit deep in the rack, enabling faster service and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections during adjustments.
• Space optimization and organized cable routing: The 11-space, 19-inch extension design helps you maximize usable rack space while keeping wires tidy and contained. With easier access to patch panels and modules, technicians can route cables with precision, improve airflow, and conduct inspections without disrupting other gear. A tidy back-of-rack also contributes to better thermal management and longer equipment life.
• Durable steel construction with a professional finish: The rail system employs a sturdy steel frame built to endure daily use in demanding environments. The black powder-coated finish not only delivers a professional, low-profile look but also adds corrosion resistance and wear tolerance, helping the rails maintain their appearance and performance in broadcast studios, corporate AV rooms, and data centers.
• Smooth, low-friction operation: Precision rails and bearings ensure a steady glide with minimal wobble during extension and retraction. The dependable motion protects delicate rear components, preserves cable management integrity, and provides repeatable performance day after day. The combination of robust materials and refined engineering translates to fewer adjustments and less downtime during servicing.
• Versatile, professional-grade solution for critical environments: Designed to support serious rack configurations, the SRS Series enhances accessibility for installation, testing, maintenance, and reconfiguration across a range of professional settings—from broadcast or control rooms to enterprise data centers and large-scale AV installations. Its durable construction and clean aesthetic make it suitable for high-visibility environments where reliability is essential.

How to Install Middle Atlantic Srs Series 19 Sliding Rail System 2 Slide 11 Space

• Prepare the rack: Ensure your enclosure is a standard 19-inch rack capable of accommodating an 11-space configuration and the weight of added rails. Clear the area behind the rack to allow full extension during installation.
• Attach mounting hardware: Use the provided mounting brackets and hardware to secure the rails to the top and bottom of the rack or adjacent posts. Confirm alignment so the slide-out portion travels straight without binding.
• Position and level the rails: With the rails mounted, verify they are level and plumb. Minor adjustments may be needed to ensure smooth, wobble-free extension and retraction across the full 19-inch travel.
• Test extension and cable clearance: Gently extend the rail system to reveal the rear area. Ensure there is ample clearance for rear connectors and cable bundles and that no cables are pinched or kinked.
• Route cables and finalize: Organize rear cabling using cable ties, Velcro straps, and rear panels as needed. Re-enter the rack and perform several full-extension cycles to confirm consistent, trouble-free operation and stable cable management.
• Security and routine checks: After installation, confirm that all mounting points remain secure, that the rails still glide smoothly after repeated use, and that airflow around the equipment remains unobstructed.
