Middle Atlantic WRK Series 37RU Rack with Rear Door - 32.6in Depth, 24.5in Width

The Middle Atlantic WRK Series 37RU Rack with Rear Door is engineered for demanding environments where thick cable bundles, multi-bay deployments, and reliable cooling matter most. Featuring a wider footprint than standard racks, this enclosure makes it easier to route large power and data cabling while maintaining excellent airflow and accessibility. With a 37U capacity, a deep 32.6-inch chassis, and a generous 24.5-inch width, the WRK rack supports dense equipment layouts—from servers and network gear to AV and broadcast components. Its rear-door design, seismic certification, and open or removable sides deliver flexible installation options, effortless maintenance, and enhanced protection for valuable gear.

• Wider footprint for thick cable bundles: The 24.5" width and 32.6" depth create ample room for bulky cable runs, oversized PDU arrangements, and wide patch panels, reducing crowding and improving airflow. This generous footprint simplifies cable management and helps preserve signal integrity across dense deployments.
• 37U capacity for abundant equipment: With a full 37 rack units of vertical space, you can consolidate servers, networking gear, storage, and AV equipment into a single robust enclosure, reducing the need for multiple smaller racks and optimizing data-center or studio floor space. The frame is designed to support heavy loads while keeping serviceability straightforward.
• Rear door design for clean rear access: The integrated rear door provides secure, organized access to cables and rear-mounted equipment, making patching, maintenance, and reconfiguration faster and neater. A tidy rear area improves airflow efficiency and protects cabling from dust and incidental contact.
• Seismic certified for critical installations: Built to meet recognized seismic performance standards, the WRK rack delivers stability and reliability in facilities located in regions with seismic activity. This certification helps ensure equipment uptime and compliance in data centers, broadcast rooms, and mission-critical environments.
• Open or removable sides for versatile installations: Side panels can be opened or removed to accommodate large cable bundles and multi-bay configurations, providing flexible access for installation, expansion, and future upgrades without sacrificing structural integrity or airflow.
