Middle Atlantic 35SP/25D Standalone Rack - ERK-3525LRD

Middle Atlantic ERK-3525LRD Standalone Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic ERK-3525LRD is a 35U standalone rack frame designed for AV and IT equipment installations where a full-depth, robust enclosure is not required. With a 25-inch depth and a 2500 lb UL load capacity, this rack provides a stable platform for mounting network switches, patch panels, and other rack-mountable gear in commercial environments. Its open frame configuration simplifies access for installation and maintenance, making it suitable for staging or situations where environmental protection is managed separately. The ERK-3525LRD is TAA compliant and manufactured in the USA.

Compatibility

This rack frame is designed to accommodate standard 19-inch rack-width equipment. It utilizes 10-32 threaded rack rails, common across most enterprise networking and audio-visual equipment. It is suitable for mounting devices such as network switches, patch panels, NVRs, DVRs, and other standard 19-inch rack-mount components. Its 35U height provides ample space for significant equipment deployment. This model is a frame-only configuration, meaning it does not include doors, side panels, or rear access panels, offering maximum airflow and accessibility.

Installation Notes

The rack frame has a seismic load capacity, indicated by UL listing and ASCE standards, ensuring stability under demanding conditions. The steel construction with a black wrinkle powder coat finish provides durability. The usable depth is 23.47 inches, which is critical for accommodating equipment with rear cabling or heat sinks. Ensure that all mounted equipment does not exceed the 2500 lb UL load capacity or the usable depth constraints. The rack is not designed to ship flat; it arrives assembled and ready for equipment mounting.
