Middle Atlantic WRK-44-27 44-Space 27in Deep Gangable Floor Rack with Rear Door
Overview
The Middle Atlantic WRK-44-27 is a 44RU floor-standing open-frame rack built for high-density AV, security, and IT infrastructure deployments where both front and rear equipment access matters. At 27.63 in deep with 25.75 in of usable depth, it accommodates deep chassis — servers, NVRs, UPS units, and patch infrastructure — without the geometry compromises of a shallower cabinet. The rear door provides airflow management and cable containment without sacrificing full rear-panel access. The WRK-44-27 ships direct and is designed for permanent installation in secured equipment rooms, NOCs, and AV control environments.
Compatibility
The WRK-44-27 accepts any standard 19-in rackmount equipment using 10-32 threaded rail hardware — the dominant fastener standard across network switches, NVRs, KVM systems, patch panels, and AV signal processors. The 44 RU capacity handles full-height deployments: a typical 2RU NVR + 1RU switch + 2RU UPS stack leaves 39RU free for expansion. The gangable design (confirmed in manufacturer specs) lets you bolt multiple WRK enclosures side-by-side into a single cohesive run — useful for large control rooms or data closets where a single 44RU frame isn't enough. Pairs with PoE network switches, rackmount NVRs, and patch infrastructure from any 19-in compliant vendor. See the full Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure catalog for companion frames, side panels, and blanking options. If you're sizing storage for a multi-camera system, review the NVR and video recorder category for chassis dimensions before committing to rack depth.
Installation Notes
At 83.13 in tall and a 166 lb shipping weight, this rack requires two-person installation and pallet delivery access — plan your receiving dock accordingly for drop-ship logistics. The seismic rating is certified to ASCE 7-10, meaning it meets the structural load requirements for seismic zone installations; anchor it per the manufacturer's seismic kit instructions where code requires. UL-listed load capacity is 2,500 lbs — that's the code-relevant number for structural planning, though the rack's mechanical weight capacity reaches 10,000 lbs. TAA compliance makes this eligible for federal and government facility procurement. The 10-32 rail accepts standard cage nuts and captive fasteners; no special tooling required beyond a torque screwdriver and level. Route rear cable management before populating equipment — access tightens significantly once deep chassis are installed.
