Middle Atlantic 11SP Cabinet Frame RK 16D - CFR-11-16

Middle Atlantic CFR-11-16 11U Cabinet Frame Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic CFR-11-16 is a steel cabinet frame rack delivering 11 rack units of usable space in a shallow 16-inch depth footprint — the right fit for tight AV and security equipment enclosures where a full-depth rack is not an option. The CFR-11-16 mounts inside an existing cabinet structure rather than standing alone, so it is suited for integrators building out custom enclosures or retrofitting millwork cavities with proper 10-32 rack rail infrastructure. At 15.5 lbs unloaded and rated to 250 lbs UL load capacity, it handles a full complement of network switches, NVRs, or patch panels without flex or sag. The flat black powder coat finish resists scuffing during installation and blends cleanly into standard equipment enclosures. TAA-compliant for government and federally funded deployments where country-of-origin documentation is required.

Compatibility

The CFR-11-16 is part of Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic CFR series and is designed to integrate with compatible Middle Atlantic cabinet enclosures that accept in-cabinet rack frames. The 10-32 threaded rail pattern is the industry standard for rack enclosures and accommodates virtually all rackmount security and AV equipment — NVRs, PoE switches, access control panels, video management servers, and patch panels. The 19.25-inch rail-to-rail width matches the EIA-310 standard. Usable mounting depth is the full 16 inches, which fits most 1U and 2U shallow appliances; verify front-to-back clearance on deeper servers before specifying. When planning a multi-device deployment, reference a rack planning guide to confirm power budgets and airflow requirements. For complete rack power distribution, pair with a compatible rackmount PDU.

Installation Notes

The frame ships at 21 lbs (includes packaging); plan accordingly for lift and positioning inside a cabinet rough-in. Usable interior height is 19.25 inches across 11 RU — confirm cabinet opening dimensions before ordering. Rail type is 10-32 threaded; cage nuts are not required but ensure fastener thread engagement of at least 3 turns per rail hole under load. Country of origin is Mexico; TAA documentation is available for procurement compliance.
