Middle Atlantic BRK20 20U Knockdown Wood Laminate Equipment Rack
Overview
The Middle Atlantic BRK20 is a 20-space (35 in. usable height) knockdown wood rack finished in black wood grain melamine — built for AV equipment rooms, control rooms, and network closets where a furniture-grade appearance matters alongside functional rack mounting. At 17.41 in. of usable depth and a 200 lb weight capacity, the BRK20 handles dense NVR, switch, and media converter installations without requiring a full steel open-frame or server-room enclosure. The knockdown construction ships flat and assembles on-site, which matters in finished interior spaces where moving a pre-assembled rack is impractical. Standard 10-32 threaded rail accepts the same cage nuts and rack screws used throughout your infrastructure, so the BRK20 integrates into an existing fastener inventory without special hardware.
Compatibility
The BRK20 accepts any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment using 10-32 threaded rails — NVRs, PoE switches, patch panels, KVM units, UPS devices, and media converters all mount without adapters. It is part of the Middle Atlantic BRK series of wood laminate racks, sharing the same rail spacing and knockdown assembly method as other models in the family, making it straightforward to standardize hardware across multiple rack builds. The 17.41 in. usable depth accommodates shallow to mid-depth 1U and 2U appliances; verify equipment depth against this figure before specifying deep rackmount servers or high-density UPS units. A rack accessories selection of lacing bars, cable management panels, and blank fillers in standard 10-32 mount are compatible.
Installation Notes
The BRK20 ships as a knockdown kit — assembly is required on-site. Overall footprint is 20.4 in. wide × 36.48 in. tall × 17.91 in. deep; verify clearance in the intended space before delivery. The 200 lb weight capacity applies to the fully assembled rack; distribute heavy equipment to lower rack positions to maintain stability. Wood construction means the BRK20 is appropriate for climate-controlled interior environments only — do not install in unconditioned spaces, high-humidity areas, or anywhere subject to temperature cycling.
