Middle Atlantic TD5 5RU Heavy-Duty Rack Drawer
Overview
The Middle Atlantic TD5 is a 5-rack-unit steel drawer designed for standard 19-inch EIA-310 equipment racks. At 15.45 inches of usable depth and a UL-rated 50 lb load capacity, the TD5 handles the weight of network gear, power distribution units, small UPS units, or loose cable plant — anything that needs to live in the rack but doesn't mount on ears. If you're integrating a Middle Atlantic rack enclosure or third-party open-frame rack into a security or AV head-end room, the TD5 gives you a lockable, organized storage tier that keeps consumables and spare hardware off the floor and out of sight. The textured black powder coat finish matches standard rack enclosure aesthetics without requiring color-matched custom orders.
Compatibility
The TD5 mounts into any standard 19-inch EIA-310 compliant rack rail set using two mounting points — compatible with Middle Atlantic's ERK, RK, WRKP, and LD rack series, as well as third-party open-frame and enclosed racks from Belden, Chatsworth, Rittal, and similar vendors that follow the EIA-310 standard. At 5 RU tall, confirm your rack has at least five consecutive open rack units before ordering. The 15.45-inch drawer depth fits inside enclosures with 18 inches or greater of usable interior depth — check your rack's usable depth spec against this figure, particularly in wall-mount or shallow-depth enclosures. For installations pairing with PoE network switches or patch panels, the drawer slots above or below active equipment without obstructing airflow paths when rack layout is planned accordingly. The textured black finish coordinates with standard rack accessories across Middle Atlantic's product line.
Installation Notes
Mounts via two points on standard rack rails — no additional hardware beyond rack screws is required, though verify your rail hole pattern (square, round, or threaded) matches your fastener type before installation. Product weight unloaded is 22.47 lbs; fully loaded at the 50 lb UL capacity brings the assembly to approximately 72 lbs — factor this into total rack weight calculations for wall-mount or mobile rack carts with rated load limits. No lock is included on the TD5; if securing drawer contents is a requirement, specify a locking variant within the Middle Atlantic drawer lineup.
