Middle Atlantic 11SP Cabinet Frame RK 18D - CFR-11-18

Middle Atlantic CFR-11-18 11U In-Cabinet Frame Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic CFR-11-18 is an 11U in-cabinet steel rack frame designed for shallow equipment installations where a full 4-post rack is more than the job requires. At 18 inches of usable depth and 19.25 inches of usable height, the CFR-11-18 fits inside existing enclosures to provide organized, standards-compliant 10-32 threaded rail mounting for network gear, patch panels, and AV or security equipment in control rooms, telecom closets, or wall-mount cabinet retrofits. The flat black powder coat finish and all-steel construction keep this frame field-ready without the weight penalty of a full rack enclosure — shipping at 25 lbs, the frame itself weighs 19.5 lbs. TAA-compliant, UL Listed, and rated to 250 lbs UL load capacity, making it a viable choice on government and compliance-sensitive projects.

Compatibility

Designed as an Middle Atlantic in-cabinet frame within the CFR (Cabinet Frame Rack) series. Fits standard rack accessories and equipment using 10-32 threaded rail — the dominant standard across network switches, patch panels, 1U/2U NVRs, and security appliances. The 19.25-inch width follows EIA-310 rack standards, so any 19-inch rackmount unit installs without adapters. At 11 RU of usable space and 18 inches of usable depth, verify your deepest piece of equipment clears that dimension before ordering — most 1U managed switches and shallow NVRs fit comfortably, but deep UPS units or full-depth servers will not. Pair with rack PDUs and a compatible Middle Atlantic enclosure for a complete mounting solution.

Installation Notes

This is an in-cabinet frame, not a standalone open-frame or enclosed rack — it requires a host enclosure. Rail type is 10-32 threaded, so cage nuts are not needed; standard 10-32 screws engage directly. Confirm your cabinet's interior dimensions accommodate the 20.19-inch overall height and 19.25-inch width before ordering. The 250 lb UL-rated load capacity covers typical mixed-equipment deployments, but distribute weight evenly across the rails to avoid rail deflection under full load. Country of origin is Mexico; TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, supporting GSA schedule and federal procurement requirements.
