Middle Atlantic DRK19-44-42LRD 44RU 42-Inch Deep Seismic Data Rack
Overview
The DRK19-44-42LRD is a 44-rack-unit, 42-inch deep open-frame floor-standing data rack from the Middle Atlantic DRK series — built for dense security and AV deployments where equipment depth and structural compliance are non-negotiable. At 30 inches wide and 83.49 inches tall, this frame accepts full-depth servers, NVRs, patch panels, and power distribution units without forced cable routing compromises. The 34.85-inch usable depth leaves genuine clearance for rear cable management even with deep 1U/2U appliances installed. Frame-only configuration means you specify your own doors, side panels, and cable management — correct for integrators building to a custom BOM rather than paying for hardware they'll pull out anyway.
Compatibility
Standard 19-inch EIA panel width with 10-32 threaded rail accepts virtually all rack-mount security and networking hardware: network video recorders, managed PoE switches, UPS units, patch panels, KVM drawers, and fiber distribution frames. The 44 RU capacity accommodates mixed-depth deployments — pair deep 2U NVRs alongside 1U switches without rail-depth conflicts. OSHPD (Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) seismic certification under ASCE 7-10 qualifies this rack for hospital, government, and critical-infrastructure installs in California and other seismic-zone jurisdictions where structural compliance is a contract requirement. TAA compliance satisfies federal procurement rules for GSA and government end-users. The gangable frame design allows side-by-side installation with additional DRK units when a single 44RU footprint isn't enough — expand the row without introducing floor-anchor gaps. UL-listed load capacity is 2,500 lbs; total static weight capacity reaches 10,000 lbs, so fully loaded high-density deployments won't stress the structure.
Installation Notes
Frame-only product — no rear door included. Plan side panels and door options separately if the deployment requires cable containment or physical security. The 42-inch overall depth demands a minimum floor footprint; verify floor-to-ceiling clearance against the 83.49-inch height before positioning. 10-32 rail threading is industry-standard; cage nuts are not included in a frame-only configuration — source separately. Seismic anchoring hardware and anchor-bolt patterns must conform to the ASCE 7-10 load calculations certified for this unit; consult the rack accessories line for compliant anchor kits. Domestic shipment only — not available for international orders.
