Middle Atlantic ERK-2725-CONFIG 27U Pre-Configured Floor Standing AV Rack
Overview
The Middle Atlantic ERK-2725-CONFIG is a 27U, 25-inch-deep pre-configured floor-standing rack built for residential AV and light commercial equipment installations. This ERK-2725-CONFIG ships fully assembled with five shelves and a 15A power strip — eliminating the configuration time that comes with building a rack from components. At 22 inches wide with a standard 19-inch panel width and 10-32 threaded rails, it accepts virtually any rackmount gear: NVRs, managed PoE switches, patch panels, UPS units, and AV processors. The 27 RU of usable rail space (47.38 in usable height) provides enough room for a complete small-to-midsize system without forcing a larger enclosure. Steel construction with a black wrinkle powder coat finish gives it the durability expected in long-term installs. The included rear door keeps cable management contained while still allowing airflow access. Manufactured in the USA.
Compatibility
Accepts any standard 19-inch rackmount equipment using 10-32 rail hardware — including network video recorders, managed PoE switches, patch panels, and rackmount UPS units. The 23.47-inch usable depth accommodates most 1U–4U network and AV appliances. Pre-configured shelves support non-rack equipment such as set-top receivers, media players, and control processors. Compatible with Middle Atlantic's ERK rack accessory line — side panels, blanks, and additional shelving from the Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure catalog integrate directly. The 2500 lb UL-rated load capacity and 591 lb seismic load rating (ASCE/UL Listed) make this suitable for installations in seismic zones where rack anchoring is required — confirm local code requirements before deployment. Fits standard 19-inch equipment per EIA-310 rack spacing.
Installation Notes
The rack ships fully assembled — no flat-pack assembly required. Floor footprint is 22 in wide × 25 in deep; verify clearance before delivery, as the 189.96 lb shipping weight requires a two-person lift or freight pallet equipment. Bottom cable entry is standard for this form factor; route power and low-voltage separately. Rear door is hinged and removable for initial cable dressing. For seismic installations, anchor to floor per ASCE requirements using the rack's built-in provisions — the 591 lb seismic rating applies only when properly anchored. The 10-32 rail thread is the standard for this rack class; confirm your cage nuts or rail hardware match before mounting equipment. Use a rack accessory blanking panel kit to fill unused RU space and maintain airflow.
