Middle Atlantic 20SP(35)RACK 22 Deep - BRK20-22

Middle Atlantic BRK20-22 20U Knockdown Wood Laminate Rack

Overview

The BRK20-22 is a 20-rack-unit open-frame knockdown rack from Middle Atlantic's wood laminate series — built for AV equipment rooms, server closets, and network equipment installations where a freestanding enclosure is needed without the cost of a welded steel cabinet. At 22 inches of total depth (21.5 in usable) and 35 inches of usable height, the BRK20-22 accommodates most 1U–4U devices including NVRs, PoE switches, patch panels, and UPS units without crowding cable management. The knockdown design ships flat for easier transport into finished rooms — relevant when elevator or doorway clearance rules out pre-assembled racks.

Compatibility

Accepts any standard 19-inch rackmount equipment using 10-32 threaded rail — the dominant fastener standard for network, AV, and network video recorders. Usable depth of 21.5 inches fits the majority of 1U switches, NVRs, and patch panels; verify rear-connector clearance for deeper appliances (anything over 20 in total chassis depth should be measured). The 250 lb weight capacity handles mixed loads of network gear, UPS hardware, and IP camera recording infrastructure without concern. Not suited for data-center-grade equipment requiring seismic bracing, blanking panels with airflow management, or locking front/rear doors — those deployments call for a fully enclosed steel enclosure. For installations in the Middle Atlantic product line requiring deeper equipment runs, the BRK20-26 and BRK20-30 variants offer additional depth in the same 20U form factor.

Installation Notes

Arrives as a knockdown kit — assembly required on site. Black wood grain laminate finish is cosmetic; this rack is intended for equipment rooms and closets, not open office deployments subject to impact. Rails are fixed 10-32 threaded; no cage-nut conversion needed for standard rackmount gear. Confirm floor levelness before final assembly — wood-panel side panels do not self-compensate for uneven surfaces the way welded steel frames can. Shipping weight is 63 lbs; plan two-person delivery for upper-floor installs. Secure to wall or floor per local seismic or safety codes where applicable.
