Middle Atlantic 16 Space 28IN. Econo Wallrack - EWR-16-22

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

Overview

The Middle Atlantic EWR-16-22 is a 16-space open-frame wall mount rack designed for AV, security, and IT equipment in locations where floor space is unavailable — server closets, back-of-wall installs, and remote equipment rooms. The EWR-16-22 ships with a 22-inch overall depth (20 inches usable) and supports up to 150 lbs UL-rated load capacity, enough headroom for NVRs, patch panels, PoE switches, and associated hardware in a mid-density deployment. The 10-32 tapped rail system is the industry standard for rack-mount hardware — any EIA-310 compliant 1U or 2U device drops straight in without adapter cages. Black wrinkle powder coat finish blends into equipment room environments and resists light abrasion. TAA-compliant for government and federally funded projects.

Compatibility

The 10-32 rail standard makes the EWR-16-22 compatible with the full range of rack-mount network video recorders, PoE network switches, unmanaged patch panels, UPS units, and AV receivers sized for 1U–4U chassis. Middle Atlantic's own rack accessories — shelves, blanking panels, power strips, and cable management — are engineered to fit this rail spacing directly. At 20 inches of usable depth, shallow 1U switches and NVRs with rear-cable clearance requirements up to roughly 18 inches will fit without modification; deeper chassis (full 2U servers) should be measured against the usable 20-inch figure before ordering. Pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic power and cable management accessories sized for EWR-series enclosures.

Installation Notes

Overall enclosure dimensions are 23.38 in W × 35 in H × 22 in D — verify stud spacing and wall blocking before mounting, as the loaded rack (up to 150 lbs of gear plus the 82 lb enclosure weight) requires solid structural backing. No front door is included; if door security or dust protection is needed, verify Middle Atlantic door kit compatibility for the EWR series before purchasing. The pivoting wall-mount design allows the rack to swing away from the wall for rear cable access — factor adequate clearance (at least 22 inches clear behind the swing arc) into your rough-in planning. Product ships at 85 lbs; plan accordingly for a two-person lift during installation. For rack and enclosure planning on multi-rack deployments, confirm total wall load against local building code requirements.
