Middle Atlantic BGR-3832-AV Pre-Configured 38RU Pro AV Floor Rack
Overview
The Middle Atlantic BGR-3832-AV is a 38RU, 32-inch-deep floor-standing rack pre-configured for pro AV deployments — control rooms, headend closets, and integrated AV/security equipment rooms where install speed matters. At 23 inches wide, 70.98 inches tall, and built from steel with a black wrinkle powder coat finish, this rack is sized for dense equipment loads up to 3,000 lbs (1,360.8 kg) — well beyond what most AV or security gear will ever demand, meaning you're not engineering around a weight ceiling. The BGR-3832-AV ships pre-configured with forward rackrails and Middle Atlantic's installation time-saver features, cutting field assembly time compared to knocked-down alternatives. The 19-inch panel width accepts standard rack-mount equipment across AV, surveillance, networking, and access control categories.
Compatibility
Fits any 19-inch EIA-standard rack-mount equipment: NVRs, network switches, patch panels, KVM units, AV processors, UPS systems, amplifiers, and control processors. Forward rackrail placement accommodates front-access gear without rear-clearance constraints. With 22.9 inches of usable depth (38 usable rack units / 66.63 inches of usable height), this chassis suits network video recorders and high-density switch stacks found in integrated surveillance system builds. The gangable design allows side-by-side expansion — bolt multiple BGR-series units together when a single 38RU footprint isn't enough. Forward-compatible construction means Middle Atlantic accessories and rail kits designed for the BGR line install without modification. Pair with a rack power distribution unit to complete the power infrastructure.
Installation Notes
At 375 lbs shipping weight, plan for a two-person lift and verify floor loading before positioning — the 3,000 lb weight capacity assumes a structurally adequate mounting surface. The 276 CFM airflow rating reflects the chassis ventilation design; supplement with active cooling if thermal load exceeds passive airflow capacity for the equipment installed. The rear door is included; factor rear door swing clearance (approximately 32 inches) into room layout. The 25mm x 150mm swing handles assist positioning during install. Review Middle Atlantic patent disclosures for rack system details, and consult the rack enclosures category for compatible Middle Atlantic accessories.
