Middle Atlantic WRK-44-32 44U 32-Inch Deep Gangable Floor Standing Rack
Overview
The WRK-44-32 is a 44-space (77-inch usable height), 32-inch deep floor-standing open-frame rack built for high-density AV and security equipment installations where long-term structural reliability and seismic compliance matter. At 24.25 inches wide and 83.13 inches tall, it fits standard equipment rooms and IDF closets without modification. The rack is gangable — multiple WRK-44-32 units bolt together side-by-side to form a continuous row, which matters in larger control rooms or NOC deployments where cable management and structural rigidity across a multi-rack run are priorities. The 10-32 threaded rail accepts standard rack hardware without adapters. TAA compliance makes it eligible for federal and government-funded projects. Made in the USA.
Compatibility
Accepts any 19-inch EIA-standard rack-mount equipment using 10-32 fasteners — NVRs, video management servers, patch panels, PoE switches, UPS units, and AV distribution equipment across all major brands. The 30.75-inch usable depth accommodates deep 2U/4U servers and full-depth UPS chassis that shallower racks cannot. Compatible with Middle Atlantic rack accessories including shelves, blanking panels, cable managers, and power distribution units designed for the WRK series. The rear door ships standard, providing dust management and light security without blocking airflow from rear-mounted equipment. Pairs naturally with PoE network switches and network video recorders in integrated security deployments.
Installation Notes
The WRK-44-32 ships at 179 lbs — plan for two-person delivery and positioning before populating the rack. UL-listed load capacity is 2,500 lbs per UL standards; the structural weight capacity reaches 10,000 lbs, which reflects the welded steel frame's engineering margin, not a practical operating load. Seismic rating meets ASCE 7-10 requirements, making it suitable for installations in seismic zones where floor-standing rack enclosures must meet zone-specific load criteria — verify local AHJ requirements before specifying. The gangable design requires Middle Atlantic joining hardware (sold separately) when building multi-rack rows; consult the rack accessories lineup for compatible joining kits, leveling feet, and cable management. Usable depth of 30.75 inches (vs. 32.63 inches nominal) accounts for rail thickness — measure your deepest equipment before ordering.
