Middle Atlantic Communication Adapter 1/2 - COM50

Middle Atlantic COM50 Communication Adapter 1/2 - COM50

Overview

The Middle Atlantic COM50 is a 1/2 rack width communication adapter designed to facilitate the integration of AV and IT equipment within structured wiring closets and AV racks. It provides a standardized mounting solution for network switches, modems, routers, and other communication devices that may not have rack-ear kits or require specific spacing. This adapter simplifies cable management and ensures proper airflow for heat-sensitive components, making it essential for clean, organized installations in commercial and residential AV systems.

Compatibility

The COM50 is engineered to work with a wide range of communication devices that fit within its 1/2 rack width footprint. It is compatible with Middle Atlantic's standard 19-inch rack systems and is suitable for mounting devices such as small network switches, power supplies, and media converters. While not specific to a particular brand of communication device, its utility is best realized when integrating equipment into existing Middle Atlantic rack enclosures or similar structured wiring solutions.

Installation Notes

Installation of the COM50 requires standard rack-mounting hardware (typically 10-32 or 12-24 rack screws, depending on the rack). The adapter itself mounts directly into a 19-inch rack, occupying 1U of vertical space. Devices are then secured to the adapter using appropriate fasteners. Ensure adequate clearance for airflow around the mounted device and for cable routing. Consult Middle Atlantic's rack system documentation for specific mounting screw recommendations.
