Middle Atlantic CWR-26-30VD4 26RU Deep Vented Swing-Out Wall Rack
Overview
The CWR-26-30VD4 is a 26RU steel wall-mount rack cabinet from Middle Atlantic's CWR Data series, built for AV/IT and physical security equipment rooms where floor space is constrained but rack density is not. At 30" of total depth with 24" usable, it accommodates full-depth NVRs, patch panels, and managed PoE switches without compromising cable management. The 4" deep vented door supports active airflow from rack-mounted fans or room air without adding a dedicated fan tray. UL-rated for 200 lbs of loaded equipment — enough headroom for dense surveillance or access control infrastructure builds.
Compatibility
Accepts any standard 19" EIA rack equipment using 12-24 threaded rack rails — the industry-standard fastener pattern compatible with network video recorders, PoE switches, patch panels, and UPS units from virtually every manufacturer. Fits standard 19" rackmount gear from Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Ubiquiti, Cisco, APC, and similar vendors. Pairs directly with Middle Atlantic rack accessories including PDUs, cable managers, and ventilation panels designed for the CWR series. Review your deepest component (NVR, UPS) against the 24" usable depth before ordering — some 2U NVRs and 1500VA tower-converted UPS units approach or exceed that figure. The 26 in. x 26 in. exterior footprint determines your wall-stud and blocking requirements; plan blocking for the full 172 lb shipping weight plus load.
Installation Notes
Wall-mount installation requires blocking or structural backing rated for the combined weight of the cabinet (142 lbs product weight) plus up to 200 lbs of installed equipment — a minimum 342 lb wall-anchor capacity before safety factor. The swing-out design demands unobstructed clearance in front of the cabinet equal to the cabinet depth for full door/frame articulation; verify this in tight IDF closets before specifying. GREENGUARD certification confirms the cabinet meets low-emission material standards, relevant for school, healthcare, and government installs with indoor air-quality requirements. Rack rails use 12-24 threading — source matching cage nuts and screws for any equipment that ships without its own hardware. No tools or torque specifications are published in available evidence beyond standard rack-mount practice.
