Middle Atlantic 9SP Cabinet Frame RK 16D - CFR-9-16

Middle Atlantic CFR-9-16 9U In-Cabinet Frame Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic CFR-9-16 is a 9U steel cabinet frame rack designed for in-cabinet mounting where a full-depth enclosure isn't needed but proper 10-32 rail alignment and structural rigidity are non-negotiable. At 16 inches of usable depth with a 250 lb UL-rated load capacity, the CFR-9-16 handles dense AV and security equipment loads without flex — useful in equipment closets, wall-mount cabinets, and shallow rack buildouts where integrators need a real rail structure rather than a shelf-and-bracket workaround. The flat black powder coat finish blends with standard rack aesthetics, and the 9 RU usable height (15.75 in) accommodates NVRs, patch panels, power distribution, and switching gear in a compact vertical footprint. TAA-compliant construction makes it suitable for federal and government installations. Model CFR-9-16 ships at 22.5 lbs and installs as a drop-in frame within a compatible Middle Atlantic cabinet enclosure.

Compatibility

The CFR-9-16 is engineered for the Middle Atlantic CFR series cabinet frame rack product family. It accepts any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment using 10-32 threaded rail fasteners — the dominant standard across network video recorders, managed PoE switches, patch panels, and UPS units. The 19.25-inch width and 16-inch depth align with Middle Atlantic's in-cabinet rail spacing. Verify your enclosure's interior depth accommodates 16 inches of usable rail space before ordering — this frame does not extend or reduce to fit non-standard cabinet interiors. Compatible with standard rack accessories including cage nuts, rack screws, and cable management panels designed for 10-32 rail systems.

Installation Notes

Frame weight is 17 lbs unloaded; plan for cabinet floor or wall-anchor ratings that exceed the combined frame-plus-equipment load (250 lb UL capacity). The 10-32 rail type is tapped — no cage nuts required for standard 10-32 rack screws. Usable height of 15.75 inches provides exactly 9U of mounting space; equipment with rear cable egress should be measured against the 16-inch usable depth before racking. Country of origin is Mexico; TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU.
