Middle Atlantic 25 Space 18IN. Deep Swing Frame Rack SFR Series - SFR-25-18

Middle Atlantic SFR-25-18 25U Swing Frame Wall Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic SFR-25-18 is a 25U swing frame wall rack built for installs where floor space is off the table — server closets, telecom rooms, and security head-end walls where you need full rear access without pulling the enclosure off the wall. The swing-out frame pivots away from the wall on demand, so you can reach cable terminations, patch bays, and NVR rear ports without contorting around fixed rack ears. At 18 inches deep and rated for 100 lb, the SFR-25-18 handles the typical mix of network video recorders, PoE switches, and patch panels that anchor a mid-size surveillance or access control head-end. The 14-gauge steel frame and open-back design let you run conduit or cable bundles cleanly without fighting a solid enclosure wall. Overall height is 49.67 inches, width 19.6 inches — plan your wall stud or blocking accordingly before ordering hardware.

Compatibility

Fits any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment up to 25U. Direct candidates from the Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure line include their 1U and 2U horizontal cable managers, brush-panel blanks, and vented shelves. On the security side, this frame is sized for rack-mount NVRs from Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and i-PRO — most 1U through 4U form factors drop straight in. Works equally well for PoE network switches, patch panels, UPS units (verify depth — keep total loaded depth under 18 inches including cable slack), and fiber termination panels. The open-back design is compatible with rear-exit structured cabling or direct conduit drops into the wall cavity. For lighter or shallower loads, Middle Atlantic's SFR series also offers shorter depth variants — if your deepest piece of gear is under 15 inches, a shallower model frees wall clearance in tight mechanical spaces.

Installation Notes

Wall blocking or a solid stud bay is required — 100 lb at full swing arm extension places significant torque on the mounting surface. Mount into minimum two 16-inch-on-center studs or install a plywood backer rated for the load before hanging the frame. The 43.75-inch racking height gives you 25 full rack units of usable space; the 49.67-inch overall height includes the hinge and top cap, so confirm ceiling clearance before positioning. The swing frame's open-back design means no rear door to remove for access, but it also means no environmental protection — this enclosure is rated for dry interior use only. Route power distribution and UPS units within the rack's 100 lb total capacity; do not exceed the rated load regardless of how the weight is distributed across rack units.
