Middle Atlantic BGR-25SA27MDK-DS 25U Freestanding Steel Rack with Plexi Door

Overview

The Middle Atlantic BGR-25SA27MDK-DS is a 25U, 19-inch freestanding equipment rack engineered for integrators who need a secure, rigid enclosure for surveillance NVRs, network switches, and associated electronics. With a 500 kg maximum weight capacity, a 796.3 mm total depth, and a lockable plexi-front door, this unit is built to handle dense equipment loads in wiring closets, server rooms, and back-of-house AV/security installations. The BGR-25SA27MDK-DS (often searched as BGR 25SA27MDK DS) ships in black powder-coated steel and carries RoHS certification.

Key Features

• 25U Rack Capacity: Fits a full security head-end — a 16-channel NVR, a managed PoE switch, a UPS, and patch panels — without overflow. At 1270 mm total height (111.1 cm inner height), you have room to cable cleanly between units rather than stacking gear on a shelf.
• 500 kg Maximum Weight Capacity: Dense surveillance builds with multiple large-format NVRs and battery backup units regularly push 150–200 kg. The 500 kg rating means you are nowhere near the structural limit, which matters for long-term reliability in permanent installations.
• 796.3 mm Total Depth / 620 mm Inner Depth: Most 1U and 2U NVRs run 400–500 mm deep; the 620 mm usable inner depth accommodates even full-depth server-grade recorders and leaves room for rear cable management. The 796.3 mm outer depth is compatible with standard raised-floor and wall-bay footprints.
• 19-Inch (48.3 cm) Standard Form Factor: All standard 19-inch rackmount equipment drops in without adapters — NVRs, switches, KVM units, fiber patch panels. Rack rails are included, so you are not sourcing hardware separately before the installation day.
• Plexi Front Door with Key Lock: The glass/steel plexi door lets you visually verify indicator lights and drive activity without opening the rack — useful in shared equipment rooms where routine checks happen frequently. The key lock prevents unauthorized access while still allowing visual status monitoring.
• Steel Side Panels Included: Side panels ship with the unit, closing off the enclosure for a finished appearance and providing cable pathway separation from adjacent racks. Skipping a separate side-panel order saves a line item and a lead-time delay on installation day.
• Steel Construction, RoHS Certified: The all-steel frame and panels meet RoHS compliance requirements, which is relevant for projects in the EU or for customers with environmental procurement standards. Black powder-coat finish matches standard equipment room aesthetics.
• 622.3 mm Width: The 622.3 mm outer width is consistent with standard rack-aisle spacing. Plan for at least 100 mm of additional clearance on each side for door swing and side-panel removal if the unit will be installed in a tight corridor or closet.

Integration & Compatibility

The BGR-25SA27MDK-DS follows the EIA-310 19-inch rack standard, so it accepts any compliant 1U through 4U rackmount equipment — network video recorders, managed PoE switches, fiber patch panels, and UPS units all mount without modification. For surveillance deployments, pair this rack with a PoE network switch and your preferred NVR to build a self-contained head-end. The 620 mm inner depth accommodates full-depth appliances, including enterprise-grade recorders that exceed the 450 mm depth of compact units. Review the Middle Atlantic rack systems lineup if you need a deeper enclosure, a two-post open frame, or a wall-mount variant for tighter spaces. For cabling-intensive builds, consult the rack planning guide before finalizing depth and U-count. The included rack rails are adjustable within the standard EIA rail pattern; verify rail compatibility with any non-standard chassis before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum weight this rack can support?

A: The BGR-25SA27MDK-DS is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 500 kg. Dense surveillance builds with multiple NVRs and battery backup units typically fall well within this limit.

Q: Are side panels and rack rails included with the BGR-25SA27MDK-DS?

A: Yes. Both steel side panels and rack rails are included in the package — no separate hardware order is required before installation.

Q: What is the usable inner depth for equipment mounting?

A: The inner depth is 620 mm (62 cm). Full-depth rackmount NVRs and server-grade appliances up to approximately 560–580 mm (accounting for rear cable bend radius) will fit without issue.

Q: Does the front door allow visual equipment monitoring without opening the rack?

A: Yes. The plexi (glass/steel) front door provides a clear view of indicator lights and drive activity. A key lock secures the door while still allowing visual status checks from outside the enclosure.

Q: Is the BGR-25SA27MDK-DS RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The unit carries RoHS certification, meeting the requirements for projects with EU environmental procurement standards or corporate green-purchasing policies.

Q: What are the overall dimensions of this rack?

A: The BGR-25SA27MDK-DS measures 622.3 mm wide × 796.3 mm deep × 1270 mm tall (outer dimensions). Inner height is 111.1 cm, providing 25U of usable rack space.
