Middle Atlantic SRSR Series Rack, SRSR-X22

The Middle Atlantic SRSR Series Rack, SRSR-X22 is engineered to deliver behind-the-wall convenience without sacrificing performance or aesthetics. Specifically designed for millwork, cabinets, and flush in-wall installations, this rack system provides easy rear access to equipment connections while keeping front-facing gear neatly concealed. With selectable usable depths of 19" or 23" and a design that extends and rotates up to 90° in either direction, the SRSR-X22 makes even compact systems simple to service. Its removable rack frame enables precise in-shop integration, reducing on-site labor and ensuring a clean, professional finish. Crafted from durable steel with a refined powder-coated finish, the SRSR-X22 is ideal for AV, IT, and network installations where space is at a premium but access remains essential. This rack delivers a balance of flexibility, reliability, and professional presentation that installers and end users alike will appreciate.

• Rear-access design for clean, organized setups: The SRSR-X22 is optimized to keep connections out of sight behind the wall while still providing straightforward rear access when you need it. The innovative hinge and extension mechanism lets technicians reach patch panels, power distribution, and I/O with minimal dismantling, preserving the installation’s aesthetics and reducing downtime during maintenance. This approach eliminates the need to pull equipment from tight enclosures, making routine servicing faster, safer, and less disruptive to clients.
• 90-degree rotation for tight spaces: When space is constrained, the SRSR-X22 extends from the cabinet or wall and rotates up to 90° in either direction. This feature enables convenient access to rear connections from the side, which is particularly valuable in flush installations, curved walls, or cabinetry with limited clearance. The rotation is designed to be smooth and controllable, allowing technicians to position the rack precisely for cable management and labeling, then return it to its stored position without wiggling or strain on cables.
• Versatile depth options (19" or 23" usable depth): Match the SRSR-X22 to the specific constraints of your installation. The two usable-depth options accommodate a broad range of equipment footprints, including larger power strips, patch panels, and ventilation considerations, while maintaining standard 19" rack compatibility for common components. This flexibility helps you maximize the usable space in millwork cavities, in-wall enclosures, or cabinetry without compromising accessibility or airflow.
• Removable rack frame for in-shop integration: Factory-ready assembly is a key advantage of the SRSR-X22. The removable rack frame enables precise, in-shop build and testing before the unit enters the job site. Pre-wiring, labeling, and performance checks can be completed with the frame out, ensuring a clean, efficient installation once on site. On-site assembly is simplified because the frame can be reinserted quickly, with alignment maintained, reducing the risk of misalignment during installation.
• Durable construction with cable-management focus: Built from robust steel with a durable powder-coated finish, the SRSR-X22 stands up to demanding environments and long-term use. Integrated cable-management features help keep bundles tidy and organized, ensuring reliable signal integrity and airflow. The rugged design also supports a wide range of equipment, from AV switchers and audio amps to network switches and servers, while preserving a professional appearance in high-end installations.

How to Install SRSR-X22

• Plan the installation location, ensuring structural support and sufficient clearance for the 19" or 23" depth and the 90° rotation path. Verify wall or cabinet tolerances and confirm access to rear connections before starting.
• Prepare the opening and mounting framework in the millwork or cabinet so the SRSR-X22 can be inserted cleanly. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and space for cables, plus room to rotate the rack without obstruction.
• Assemble the removable rack frame on a workbench or in a protected shop area. Install any pre-wired rear connections, patch panels, and power distribution components as needed, then securely fasten the frame in its intended position within the enclosure.
• Insert the SRSR-X22 assembly into the cabinet or wall cavity. Align mounting points, verify that the hinge and rotation mechanism operate smoothly, and connect equipment to rear patch panels and power distribution as required. Test the 90° rotation to confirm clearance and alignment.
• Route cables with care, using the built-in cable-management features to keep runs organized. Label connections for future maintenance, verify airflow and ventilation, and install any trim or cover pieces to complete the professional, finished appearance.
