Middle Atlantic DTRK-1018 10U Open Desktop Rack

Overview

The DTRK-1018 is a 10-rack-unit open desktop enclosure from Middle Atlantic's DTRK series, built for surface-mounted equipment deployments where a full-height floor cabinet is impractical. At 19.38 in tall, 21.38 in wide, and 19.5 in deep with 18.5 in of usable depth, the DTRK-1018 accommodates shallow-to-mid-depth 1U and 2U gear — NVRs, patch panels, managed PoE switches, and audio DSPs — without the footprint of a full rack. Steel construction with a Metallic Gray powder coat finish keeps it presentable in client-visible installs like small conference rooms, reception desks, and retail back-of-house. TAA-compliant and UL Listed, making it eligible for government and federal contractor deployments. No doors means no airflow restriction and faster hands-on access — the right call when equipment needs frequent attention or the environment is already temperature-controlled. If your equipment layout needs lockable panels or side covers, plan to source those separately; the DTRK-1018 ships as an open frame.

Compatibility

Accepts any standard 19-inch rackmount equipment using 10-32 threaded rail hardware — the universal standard for 1U through 10U rack gear. Compatible with Middle Atlantic's own accessory line including cable management panels, blanks, and vented spacers. Fits network video recorders from Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, i-PRO, and similar brands in standard 1U or 2U rackmount chassis. Also suited for rackmount access control appliances, small UPS units within the 300 lb UL-rated load capacity, and 1U patch panels for structured cabling termination. Usable height is 17.5 in (10 RU), so plan your RU budget before specifying — there is no expansion headroom beyond what's listed.
