Middle Atlantic WR-44-42 44RU Deep Rollout Open Frame Rack
Overview
The Middle Atlantic WR-44-42 is a 44-rack-unit, 42.88-inch-deep rollout open-frame rack built for AV, security, and IT equipment rooms where you need full rear access without pulling gear or disconnecting cables. The roll-out design means technicians can slide the entire rack forward on its casters for rear-cable management and maintenance — critical in tight telecom closets or back-of-rack NVR and patch panel installs where permanent wall clearance is limited. At 750 lbs UL-rated load capacity across a 36-inch usable depth, the WR-44-42 handles fully populated NVR chassis, UPS units, and dense patch arrays without flex. The black wrinkle powder-coat finish and 10-32 rack rail threading are standard across Middle Atlantic's WR line, keeping mixed-chassis installs consistent.
Compatibility
The WR-44-42 accepts any Middle Atlantic or third-party equipment built to the EIA-310 19-inch rack standard with 10-32 threaded rail. Compatible equipment categories include network video recorders, UPS systems, patch panels, KVM drawers, cable management panels, and AV signal distribution gear. The 44 RU height accommodates tall server-class NVRs (typically 2–4U each) alongside ancillary gear — a full 44 RU bay at 36 inches usable depth can house a mix of 2U NVRs, 1U switches, and 2U UPS units without depth conflicts on standard 19-inch chassis. For installations requiring a rack enclosure rather than open frame, or shallower depth variants, evaluate other models in the Middle Atlantic WR family. TAA compliance makes the WR-44-42 suitable for federal and government procurement programs.
Installation Notes
Product weight is 334.6 lbs unloaded; shipping weight is 375 lbs — verify floor load ratings before positioning, particularly on raised-access flooring. The 24-inch overall width and 88.86-inch overall height (77 inches usable) require standard commercial door clearance for initial placement; measure doorway height before delivery. Caster-based rollout travel requires adequate floor clearance behind the rack equal to the rack's depth plus cable slack — plan for a minimum 48–54 inches of rear clearance in the fully extended position when laying out the room. Finish is black wrinkle powder coat; coordinate with existing equipment room cabinetry if finish matching matters. Manufactured in the USA.
