Middle Atlantic C5K1A1SSHZ003457 27-Inch Deep Sota Wood Kit with HPL Finish
Overview
The Middle Atlantic C5K1A1SSHZ003457 is a wood enclosure kit for the C5 rack system, configured in a 27-inch deep Sota profile with a solid door and Wilsonart Shadow (D96) HPL laminate finish. This kit addresses the finish and aesthetic requirements of boardrooms, executive spaces, and client-facing installations where a bare metal enclosure is not appropriate — delivering a furniture-grade exterior over the structural rack chassis beneath it. The HPL laminate surface is durable under daily contact and resists scuffs, making it a practical choice beyond purely decorative applications.

Compatibility
This wood kit is designed for the Middle Atlantic C5 rack enclosure series in the Sota configuration at 27-inch depth. It is not a universal fit — confirm your C5 chassis depth and door opening match the 27-inch Sota profile before ordering. If you are specifying a complete rack build, pair this with a compatible rack cooling solution and review AV furniture selection considerations to ensure the wood surround clears cable management and ventilation clearances on your specific C5 frame. The D96 Wilsonart Shadow finish is a specific HPL pattern; verify with your interior specification that D96 matches the required finish code before procurement.
Installation Notes
Wood kit panels and door components attach to the C5 chassis per Middle Atlantic's standard hardware provisions for this series. Confirm all rack-mounted equipment is installed and cable paths are routed before fitting the wood surround, as access to the interior is more constrained once the solid door and side panels are in place. The solid door configuration provides no front ventilation path — ensure the equipment load inside the chassis is within the thermal capacity supported by top or rear airflow for this enclosure depth.
