Middle Atlantic C5K3B1SSHD01046B 3-Bay Sota Wood Kit with Solid Door, Walnut Heights HPL
Overview
The Middle Atlantic C5K3B1SSHD01046B is a three-bay wood enclosure kit in the C5 furniture series, configured at 31 inches deep in the Sota style with a solid door and High Pressure Laminate (HPL) finish in Walnut Heights. It is designed for AV and system integration deployments where rack infrastructure needs to blend into professional or hospitality environments — boardrooms, executive suites, command centers, or public-facing facilities where exposed equipment racks are not acceptable. HPL surfacing delivers the durability of a hard-wearing commercial laminate with the appearance of natural wood grain, resisting scratches and moisture that would compromise a veneered alternative. The solid door configuration keeps cabling and rack-mounted gear out of sight while providing full-depth access when open. At 31 inches of interior depth, this kit accommodates most standard 1U–2U appliances, patch panels, and rack accessories without requiring a shallow-depth workaround.
Compatibility
The C5K3B1SSHD01046B is a component of Middle Atlantic's C5 furniture series, a modular AV furniture and rack system line. It is designed to integrate with C5-series frames, bases, and top panels — mixing bay counts and door styles within the same C5 run is supported by the series' modular architecture. Verify frame dimensions and adjacent-bay finish codes when combining with other C5 modules to ensure HPL color continuity across the installation. This kit is not a standalone rack; it requires a compatible C5 frame and associated hardware to complete the rack enclosure assembly.
Installation Notes
The Sota style references Middle Atlantic's specific leg and profile geometry within the C5 line — confirm your existing C5 footprint matches the Sota profile before ordering, as C5 styles are not interchangeable at the frame level. HPL panels are factory-fitted; field modification of laminate surfaces will void the finish warranty. The solid door requires adequate swing clearance at the front — account for door travel in tight installations or consider an alternate door style if clearance is constrained.
