Middle Atlantic 6SP Vertical SLD DR BW - VWM-SD-6-36K-BW

Middle Atlantic VWM-SD-6-36K-BW 6RU Vertical Wall Mount Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic VWM-SD-6-36K-BW is a 6RU vertical wall mount rack designed for surveillance head-end closets, IDF rooms, and equipment alcoves where floor space is unavailable or impractical. At 36 inches tall with a 27.8-inch usable depth, the VWM-SD-6-36K-BW accommodates full-depth NVRs, PoE switches, and patch panels without requiring a separate floor enclosure — the right call for single-room security equipment deployments or branch-office wiring closets. The solid steel door with black wrinkle powder coat finish keeps equipment out of sight while UL-rated 150 lb load capacity means you can fully populate all 6RU without worrying about structural limits. Finished in black wrinkle powder coat, it fits discretely in finished spaces where a raw open-frame rack would be out of place. TAA-compliant and manufactured in the USA, making it eligible for federal and government procurement programs without additional sourcing documentation.

Compatibility

Accepts any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment using 10-32 threaded or cage nut rail hardware — the industry-standard dual format covers virtually all commercial NVRs, managed PoE switches, KVM units, fiber patch panels, and UPS devices from Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Ubiquiti, Cisco, Tripp Lite, and others. The rack is part of Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic VWM series and is forward compatible with Middle Atlantic accessories including shelves, horizontal cable managers, and brush panels. With 27.8 inches of usable depth, it handles full-depth 1U and 2U appliances that shallower wall enclosures cannot fit — check your deepest device before ordering a shorter-depth alternative. Pairs directly with rack-mount security equipment including NVRs and network switches commonly deployed in video surveillance systems.

Installation Notes

Wall-mount installation requires load-bearing stud or masonry attachment rated to the 150 lb UL load capacity plus enclosure weight of 69.5 lbs — plan for a minimum 220 lb combined structural rating at the wall anchor points. The 25 in width and 36 in height dictate wall clearance; verify stud spacing aligns before ordering. The 25mm x 150mm swing handle requires approximately 6 inches of door-swing clearance in front of the enclosure. Shipping weight of 80 lbs means two-person handling for positioning and installation. Review the rack enclosures category if a floor-standing or two-post alternative better fits your site constraints, or consult a rack and mounting guide for enclosure sizing decisions.
