Middle Atlantic 2 BAY 31 Deep C5 Wood KIT Sota Style Solid Doors HPL Finish - C5K2B1SSHE020102

Middle Atlantic C5K2B1SSHE020102 2-Bay Wood Rack Enclosure Kit

Overview

The Middle Atlantic C5K2B1SSHE020102 is a 2-bay, 31-inch deep wood enclosure kit in the C5 series, finished in Biltmore Cherry HPL (High Pressure Laminate) with solid doors in Sota style. This kit is built for AV and security installations where the equipment rack is visible to building occupants — conference rooms, executive suites, and front-of-house deployments where an exposed metal rack is not acceptable. The HPL finish is a commercial-grade laminate surface, not a veneer, so it handles the incidental contact and cleaning cycles of an occupied space without delaminating at the edges. The 31-inch depth accommodates full-depth AV receivers, NVRs, and network gear without forcing cable management compromises at the rear.

Compatibility

Designed for the Middle Atlantic C5 series furniture enclosure system. This kit pairs with C5 series frame assemblies and accepts standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment across both bays. Compatible with Middle Atlantic's internal mounting accessories including pull-out shelves, vertical power strips, and fan trays designed for the C5 line. Integrators sourcing NVRs, patch panels, or AV switchers for a network video recorder deployment should confirm the installed equipment depth against the 31-inch interior clearance before ordering. The Sota-style solid door configuration suits scenarios where front-panel access is infrequent — if frequent hands-on access is required, consider a Middle Atlantic C5 variant with vented or glass door options instead.

Installation Notes

This is a kit configuration — confirm that the required C5 base frame or top cap components are either included or separately ordered before scheduling installation. HPL surfaces require no field finishing, but installers should avoid dragging metal rack ears directly across the interior panel faces during equipment loading; Middle Atlantic recommends using their plastic rail-slide accessories to protect the interior finish during rack population. Route power and signal cables before front doors are hung to avoid working around the door hinge clearance on a fully loaded bay.
