Middle Atlantic 16 Space (22) Econo Sect Wallrack Textured Black Powder Coat Finish - EWR-12-22

Middle Atlantic EWR-12-22 12RU Economical Pivoting Wall Rack

Overview

The EWR-12-22 is a 12RU open-frame wall mount rack from Middle Atlantic designed for shallow-to-mid-depth equipment installations where floor space is unavailable and a dedicated equipment room is not justified. At 22 inches of total depth (20 inches usable), the EWR-12-22 accommodates most 1U–4U network switches, NVRs, patch panels, and AV receivers without projecting excessively from the wall. The black wrinkle powder coat finish holds up in back-of-house and utility corridor installs where surface appearance matters less than durability. UL-rated at 150 lbs, this rack handles a fully populated 12RU bay without concern — that's enough headroom for a mix of network video recorders, managed PoE switches, and a UPS module in a mid-size surveillance head-end closet. TAA compliance makes it eligible for government and federally funded projects where country-of-origin documentation is required.

Compatibility

Standard 10-32 threaded rack rails accept any EIA-310-compliant 19-inch rackmount equipment — including 1U NVRs, access control panels, managed PoE switches, patch panels, and rackmount UPS units. The 20-inch usable depth accommodates most 1U and 2U appliances; verify that deeper chassis (typically anything over 18 inches of chassis depth) can fit before specifying. Middle Atlantic rackmount accessories such as blanking panels, vented shelves, and cable management bars mount natively on 10-32 rails. For surveillance system builds, this rack pairs with rackmount NVRs and 8- to 24-port PoE switches common in 12–32 camera deployments. Not designed for full-depth server chassis or high-density patch fields requiring more than 12RU of vertical space — step up to a deeper or taller EWR variant in those cases.

Installation Notes

Overall dimensions are 28 in (H) × 23.38 in (W) × 22 in (D); plan wall blocking or mount to studs rated for the combined rack-plus-equipment load — UL load capacity is 150 lbs but the rack itself ships at approximately 67 lbs, leaving roughly 83 lbs of rated payload margin after installation. No front door is included, so cable access is unrestricted but equipment faces are exposed; plan for a locked enclosure or secured room if access control is a requirement. Mounting hardware and exact fastener torque requirements are not specified in available documentation — follow standard wall-anchor practices for the wall substrate.
