Middle Atlantic ERK-3520LRD Standalone Rack Frame
Overview
The Middle Atlantic ERK-3520LRD is a 35 rack unit (RU) standalone equipment rack frame designed for AV and IT integration where a full enclosure is not required. Its open frame configuration facilitates airflow and accessibility for components like network switches, patch panels, and AV processing gear. This model offers a usable depth of 18.47 inches, suitable for standard rackmount equipment that does not exceed this dimension. The ERK-3520LRD is built from steel with a Black Wrinkle Powder Coat finish and supports up to 2500 lbs, making it a robust platform for fixed installations. It is TAA compliant and manufactured in the USA.
Compatibility
This ERK Series rack frame is compatible with any standard 19-inch rackmount equipment designed to fit within its 35 RU capacity and 18.47-inch usable depth. It utilizes 10-32 rack rail threading, which is standard for most IT and AV rackmount hardware. Equipment requiring deeper mounting solutions or wider rack profiles will not be compatible.
Installation Notes
The ERK-3520LRD is designed for stationary use and is seismic rated, providing stability for heavy loads. Its open frame design requires careful cable management planning to maintain airflow and prevent signal interference. Ensure the installation environment can support the rack's static load capacity of 2500 lbs. The rack ships flat, requiring assembly.
