Middle Atlantic EC-2 2RU Chassis

Overview

The Middle Atlantic EC-2 is a 2 Rack Unit (RU) chassis designed for standard 19-inch racks, offering 6 inches of depth for housing small electronic equipment. Its black brushed and anodized finish provides a professional look suitable for commercial installations. This chassis is intended for integrators who need a compact, rack-mountable enclosure for components that do not fit standard rack depths or require a dedicated mounting space.

Compatibility

This chassis is designed to mount within any standard 19-inch equipment rack. It features 2 mounting points, suitable for components that require secure fastening within the enclosure. Its 6-inch depth is compatible with a range of smaller networking devices, power distribution units, or specialized AV equipment that does not exceed this dimension. It is not specific to any particular brand of surveillance or AV equipment but serves as a universal mounting solution for rack-compatible devices.

Installation Notes

The EC-2 chassis installs into standard 19-inch racks using front-mounted rails or fixed shelves. Its 2 RU height means it occupies 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) of vertical space. The 6-inch depth is critical for ensuring it fits within the available space behind the rack's front panel, accounting for cable management and airflow. Ensure the equipment to be housed does not exceed the 6-inch depth, including any necessary cabling. The black brushed and anodized finish provides durability and resistance to smudging.
