Middle Atlantic 16 Space (14IN. ) Econo Sectional Wallrack - EWR-16-22SD

Middle Atlantic EWR-16-22SD 16U Economical Pivoting Wall Rack

Overview

The EWR-16-22SD is a 16-rack-unit sectional wall rack from Middle Atlantic's EWR Econo line — a fixed-depth, front-access enclosure built for AV control rooms, security head-end closets, and IT edge deployments where a full floor cabinet is impractical. At 22 inches deep with 20 inches of usable depth, it accommodates most 1U/2U NVRs, patch panels, switches, and AV processors without the footprint of a freestanding rack. The pivoting design swings away from the wall for rear cable access — critical in tight mechanical closets where you can't work behind a fixed enclosure. UL-rated at 150 lbs, it handles a fully loaded wall rack build without flex. TAA-compliant sourcing makes it eligible for federal and government-contract installations. The black wrinkle powder-coat finish resists scuffing in high-traffic equipment rooms. If you're specifying a Middle Atlantic rack solution for a surveillance or AV head-end, the EWR-16-22SD fits the standard integrator workflow: wall-mount, swing out for cabling, lock it down.

Compatibility

Accepts all standard 19-inch rackmount equipment on 10-32 threaded rack rails — the industry default for 1U through 4U gear including NVRs, PoE switches, network video recorders, KVM drawers, UPS units, and patch panels. The 20-inch usable depth fits most 1U appliances (typical depth 14–18 inches) and mid-depth 2U units. Equipment deeper than 19 inches will need a depth extension or should target the deeper EWR variant. The front door clears standard rackmount ears; verify clearance for units with front-panel connectors or LCD displays that protrude beyond the bezel. Compatible with Middle Atlantic's standard rack accessories including lacing bars, horizontal cable managers, and blanking panels sized for EWR-series enclosures.

Installation Notes

Overall dimensions are 23.38 in W × 35 in H × 22 in D; plan wall blocking or use a structural stud layout that spans the full mounting footprint — at 95 lbs empty and 150 lbs max load, this rack requires solid backing, not drywall anchors alone. Shipping weight is 94 lbs; two-person lift recommended for wall positioning. Rack rails are 10-32 threaded — confirm your cage nuts or pre-threaded strips match before mounting equipment. The pivoting mechanism requires clearance on the swing side: measure at least the full rack depth (22 in) of clear space to one side for full rear access.
