Middle Atlantic WMS-1614DC Wall Mount Shelf — Dark Cherry Finish
The Middle Atlantic WMS-1614DC is a wall and rack-mount shelf finished in Dark Cherry, sized at 20.25 inches wide by 18.5 inches deep — built for AV and security equipment rooms where aesthetics and structural consistency with wood-finish enclosures matter. If your installation calls for a coordinated cabinet-and-shelf system in a boardroom, executive suite, or finished equipment closet, the WMS-1614DC fits that brief without requiring a custom fabrication.
Key Features
- Dark Cherry Finish: The Dark Cherry laminate coordinates with Middle Atlantic's wood-finish rack enclosures, letting you maintain a consistent look in client-facing or executive spaces where bare metal shelving is not acceptable.
- 20.25-Inch Width: At 20.25 in (51.4 cm) wide, this shelf accommodates most standard AV receivers, media players, and security appliances without overhanging the mounting surface — check your wall stud spacing or rack rail width before ordering.
- 18.5-Inch Depth: The 18.5 in (47 cm) depth handles deeper components — think full-depth NVRs, amplifiers, or UPS units — that a shallow utility shelf would leave hanging. Verify your wall clearance before mounting near corners or in tight equipment closets.
- 9-Inch Overall Height: At 9 in (22.9 cm) tall, the WMS-1614DC provides enough vertical clearance for most 1U and 2U rack components, or for freestanding appliances up to roughly 8 inches in height.
- Dual-Mount Design: Supports both wall and rack mounting, giving integrators the option to surface-mount in finished spaces or drop it into an open-frame rack as a fixed shelf without purchasing separate hardware configurations.
Integration & Compatibility
The WMS-1614DC (often searched as WMS 1614DC) is designed for use within Middle Atlantic's wall mount and rack furniture systems. It is suited for network video recorders, AV control processors, and similar equipment in Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure systems. Confirm rail spacing and mounting hole pattern compatibility with your specific rack or wall mount enclosure before installation. For larger or heavier equipment, evaluate Middle Atlantic's deeper or reinforced shelf options in the same rack shelf line. If you are equipping a security rack or enclosure, cross-reference the shelf's 20.25 in width against your enclosure's internal rail width — Middle Atlantic enclosures vary by series.

Q: What is the shipping weight of the WMS-1614DC?
A: The shipping weight is 166 lbs (75.3 kg). Note this is the shipping weight, which includes packaging materials.
Q: What types of equipment can I place on the WMS-1614DC?

The WMS-1614DC comes up regularly on projects where the equipment room is also a client-visible space — a boardroom AV closet, an executive suite tech panel, or a lobby security desk. The 18.5-inch depth is what actually drives the spec decision here: most utility shelves in this width class run 12–14 inches deep, which means a full-depth NVR or rackmount UPS overhangs the front edge. At 18.5 in, the WMS-1614DC keeps deeper appliances fully supported.
Technical Highlights:
- 20.25 in Width: Fits standard 19-inch rack components with room for cable management on each side — no forced tight-pack against the rails.
- 18.5 in Depth: Accommodates full-depth 1U/2U appliances that shallower shelves can't support without front overhang or tipping risk.
- Dark Cherry Finish: Matches Middle Atlantic's wood-finish enclosure series — eliminates the visual mismatch between bare-metal shelving and laminate rack furniture in finished spaces.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 166 lb shipping weight is the packaged unit weight — confirm your floor or pallet capacity for receiving, not the installed shelf weight, which will be substantially lower.
- No load capacity rating is published in the available evidence — contact Middle Atlantic directly to confirm maximum supported equipment weight before placing heavy appliances like UPS units or dense NVRs on this shelf.
Best fit: AV or security integrations in finished client-facing spaces — boardrooms, executive suites, hospitality front-of-house — where the Dark Cherry finish needs to match an existing Middle Atlantic enclosure and shelf depth matters for full-depth rackmount gear.
