Middle Atlantic SRSR Series 15RU Slide Out Rotating Rack Rail System - 19.1in Depth Wall Mounted Rack
Designed for professional AV installations where rear access, clean aesthetics, and flexible space planning matter, the Middle Atlantic SRSR Series 15RU Slide Out Rotating Rack Rail System delivers a smart solution for flush-in-wall, millwork, and cabinet environments. This system provides a full 15U of rack space, a slide-out mechanism, and a 90° rotation in either direction, enabling technicians to reach every connection without contorting behind equipment. Ideal for compact control rooms, hidden AV closets, or entertainment cabinetry, the SRSR is built to blend seamlessly with architectural finishes while ensuring dependable cable management and service access.
- Efficient rear-access design enables easy cable management and quick service without removing equipment from the rack. The slide-out, rotate mechanism exposes back panels for easy connections, testing, and troubleshooting. This feature is invaluable in tight installations where access from the rear can be challenging, such as narrow cabinets or flush-in-wall enclosures.
- Compact 15U rack space provides ample room for essential gear while preserving a compact footprint. The 15U capacity is well-suited for network accessories, compact AV processors, small form-factor distribution amps, patch panels, and power distribution units. The removable rack frame simplifies in-shop pre-wiring, alignment, and testing, helping installers deliver a finished, field-ready installation with minimal on-site labor.
- Depth options for flush-in-wall installs choose 19.1 inches of usable depth or opt for a deeper 23 inches to accommodate larger power supplies, transformers, or multiple patch panels. The 19.1" depth aligns with standard flush-in-wall or cabinet installations, while the 23" option provides extra clearance for more demanding equipment stacks without compromising the wall aesthetic or airflow.
- 90° rotation in both directions enables flexible access from either side of the rack, ideal for tight rooms and confined installations. The dual-direction rotation minimizes required clearance during maintenance and cable changes, letting technicians reach connectors behind or beside the equipment with ease and reducing the need to remove front panels or swap gear.
- Rugged, removable rack frame supports in-shop wiring, testing, and customization; it can be removed for service or reconfigured as your system evolves. The sturdy frame maintains precise alignment for 19" equipment rails, supports efficient pre-wiring, and provides a solid foundation for future updates, ensuring your installation remains scalable and serviceable over time.

How to install Middle Atlantic SRSR Series 15RU Slide Out Rotating Rack Rail System
- Plan the installation by confirming the wall cavity, stud layout, and the available depth. Measure the intended location to ensure the 19.1" (or 23") depth will not interfere with plumbing, electrical, or HVAC components behind the wall.
- Prepare the installation area by locating wall studs and marking mounting points. Use appropriate anchors and shielded fasteners to support the weight of the rack and connected gear in a wall-mounted configuration.
- Attach the mounting rails or brackets to the wall or cabinet structure in accordance with the included template and the 19-inch rack standard. Ensure the rails are square and level to maintain proper rack alignment and smooth slide-out operation.
- Assemble the removable rack frame off-site if possible, pre-mounting standard 19-inch equipment rails, patch panels, and any small modules. This step simplifies on-site wiring and reduces installation time.
- Install the frame into the mounted rails and slide it into the wall cavity. Connect power, data, and signal cabling in the frame while it is extended for easy access, then route cables neatly and label patches for future maintenance.
- With the frame secured, slide the rack out, rotate it to the desired orientation (90 degrees in either direction), and verify clearance around the frame and back of the cabinet. Re-seat the rack into the wall and verify that the rotation mechanism locks securely in place when in use.
- Mount and secure all front-loading devices to the 19" rails, paying attention to weight distribution and thermal management. Confirm that ventilation clearances are maintained to prevent overheating and to preserve equipment longevity.
- Test all connections—power, network, audio, and video—before finalizing the installation. Label cables, perform a quick cable trace, and verify that the rear-access functionality remains unobstructed by any installed hardware or cabling.
- Conceal or dress the installation as needed to achieve a clean aesthetic. Reattach any decorative covers or panels, ensure the access door or panel aligns correctly, and confirm that the slide-out rotation remains smooth after final assembly.
