Middle Atlantic ERK-4020LRD Standalone Rack
Overview
The Middle Atlantic ERK-4020LRD is a 40 rack unit (RU) standalone AV rack frame designed for robust equipment deployment. It provides a stable, seismic-rated foundation for critical infrastructure in commercial, government, and enterprise environments. With a 2500 lb UL listed load capacity, this frame is engineered to support substantial AV and IT equipment loads, ensuring system integrity. Its 20-inch depth is suitable for many standard-depth components, making the ERK-4020LRD a practical choice for consolidating and organizing gear in network closets, media rooms, or control centers. The TAA compliance further positions it for government and federal installations.
Compatibility
This rack frame is designed for standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment. It utilizes 10-32 rack rail threading, compatible with a wide array of AV, IT, and networking devices. The usable height of 70.13 inches accommodates 40 RU of standard 19-inch equipment, allowing for dense component population. While it is a frame-only configuration, it serves as the foundational structure for systems requiring reliable rack-mount support, including surveillance NVRs, network switches, and AV processors.
Installation Notes
Constructed from steel with a black wrinkle powder coat finish, the ERK-4020LRD is built for durability. It features a seismic load rating, indicating it is designed to withstand significant structural stress, crucial for areas prone to seismic activity. The rack is listed as shipping flat, implying assembly is required prior to full deployment. The frame itself does not include a rear door, which may influence airflow management and security considerations depending on the installed equipment and environment.
