With a wider footprint, a fully welded frame, and fixed solid sides, this 44U rack delivers unparalleled rigidity and protection for sensitive equipment while enabling easier cable management and airflow. Designed to accommodate thicker cable bundles and larger, deeper equipment, the WRK-SA series brings a robust, dependable mounting solution to broadcast rooms, control suites, post-production facilities, and enterprise IT spaces alike. If you’re seeking a rack that balances strength with practical space utilization, the WRK-SA 44U model stands out as a reliable workhorse that can scale with your needs without sacrificing performance or security.

• Generous 44U rack capacity provides ample space to consolidate multi-rack systems, AV gear, servers, and patch panels in a single, organized enclosure. This means fewer cabinets and easier expansion as your equipment portfolio grows.
• Deep 27.6-inch footprint supports deeper equipment and thicker cable bundles, allowing you to route cables cleanly and comfortably without crowding the front or rear rails.
• Fully welded steel construction delivers maximum rigidity and long-term durability in high-traffic environments, reducing flex and wobble while improving overall rack stability.
• Fixed solid sides for security and protection help shield valuable components from dust, accidental contact, and tampering, making it suitable for busy production floors, classrooms, or shared spaces.
• Wider footprint for enhanced airflow promotes better cooling and reduces thermal buildup, helping equipment maintain peak performance and extend component life.

How to Install Middle Atlantic WRK-SA Series 44RU Floor Standing Rack

• Choose a level, solid surface with enough space for width and depth. Confirm the floor can support the weight of the fully loaded rack and allow for proper ventilation around all sides.
• Unpack the WRK-SA rack components carefully and inspect for any shipping damage. Verify all panels, rails, and hardware are present before beginning installation.
• Position the rack in your designated space, ensuring there is clear access to the front and rear for cable routing and equipment installation. Use levelers or feet as required to keep the rack perfectly vertical.
• Install mounting rails and any required rear or front rails following 19-inch standard spacing. Secure rails firmly to the rack frame, then begin mounting equipment from the bottom up to maintain a stable center of gravity and balanced load distribution.
• Route cables with care to maximize airflow: keep power and data cables separated where possible, use proper cable management accessories, and maintain adequate clearances behind and above equipment to prevent overheating.
• When loading, distribute heavy equipment toward the base to lower the center of gravity and improve stability. Periodically check screws and bolts to ensure continued rigidity as the rack settles in over time.
• Close and secure any doors or panels as required, and verify that all equipment remains accessible for service and future upgrades. Perform a final level check and confirm door operation and airflow paths.
