Middle Atlantic C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 4-Bay Furniture-Grade Enclosure

Overview

The Middle Atlantic C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 is a 4-bay cabinet built for spaces where equipment storage must blend function with appearance. The 31 × 32 inch Sota-style form factor and Wilsonart Black finish deliver a controlled visual profile in conference rooms, executive suites, and control environments. Solid doors front the cabinet, keeping hardware out of sight while preserving the structured access and discipline expected in premium installations.

This is purpose-built for integrators specifying infrastructure where the enclosure is part of the room design, not an afterthought. If your project requires a cabinet that serves both technical organization and visual standards, the C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 addresses both requirements without compromise.

Key Features

• 4-bay configuration: More structured storage than smaller cabinets—organize equipment by function, service path, or system role. In conference rooms and control rooms, this layout keeps related systems grouped, which matters for troubleshooting and maintenance workflows.
• 31 × 32 inch Sota-style form factor: Purpose-designed for premium office and control room spaces. The Sota footprint is narrow and tall, fitting tight wall placements and executive suites where floor space is constrained but vertical clearance exists.
• Wilsonart Black finish: A durable, furniture-grade surface that supports restrained aesthetics. Black absorbs visual noise and works in client-facing environments where the cabinet should not draw attention.
• Solid door front design: Creates a clean façade—no visible equipment, no cable clutter from the room side. Maintenance access remains available from behind, but the front preserves the tailored appearance the space demands.
• Middle Atlantic C5K platform foundation: Built on a proven modular design that accepts optional accessories and supports future expansion. The platform approach means your infrastructure isn't locked to a single configuration.
• No locks or handles included: A simpler front profile. This keeps the enclosure visually minimal for client-facing rooms. If physical security is needed, locks and handles can be added separately as a project requirement.

Integration & Compatibility

The C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 is a passive enclosure designed to house AV and IT equipment commonly deployed in premium office installations. It does not include built-in power distribution, network switching, or security controls—those integrate as separate modules or external systems mounted inside the cabinet.

The 4-bay layout accommodates standard 19-inch equipment. Integrators often pair this cabinet with network switches, power distribution units (PDUs), and cable management solutions to build a complete solution. Middle Atlantic's ecosystem includes compatible rack accessory options (cord covers, raceways, mounting hardware) that extend the cabinet's functionality.

This cabinet is ideal for environments requiring visual restraint—executive boardrooms, control rooms, premium office workspaces, and client-facing integration cabinets where appearance is as important as function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 4-bay configuration mean for equipment layout?

A: The C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 provides four vertical bays (rack units of standard height). You can install 1U, 2U, 3U, or 4U equipment in any combination across the bays, organizing by function, redundancy, or service tier. This flexibility is useful in control rooms where you want to group related systems vertically.

Q: Are the solid doors lockable?

A: The model ships without locks or handles, presenting a cleaner front profile. Locking hardware can be added as a retrofit if physical security is required—contact the manufacturer or your integrator for compatible lock options.

Q: What is the footprint of this cabinet?

A: The cabinet is 31 inches wide and 32 inches deep (Sota-style proportions). These compact dimensions make it suitable for wall placement or corner installation in executive suites and control rooms where floor space is limited.

Q: Does the cabinet include power distribution or cooling?

A: No. The C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 is a passive enclosure. Power distribution, surge protection, and thermal management must be provided by separately installed PDUs, cooling units, or ventilation accessories mounted inside the cabinet.

Q: Can I integrate this with existing AV and IT systems?

A: Yes. The cabinet accommodates standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment, network switches, patch panels, and other IT infrastructure. It is protocol-agnostic and works with any ONVIF-compliant camera systems, VMS platforms, and network management tools used in your environment.

Q: What is the warranty on the C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584?

A: Warranty details are not included in the available product specification. Contact the manufacturer or your supplier for warranty terms specific to this model.

The C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 is a practical choice when your client insists the equipment cabinet blend into the room rather than dominate it. That Wilsonart Black finish isn't just cosmetic—it's a deliberate choice for spaces where the infrastructure must disappear visually while remaining accessible for maintenance. The 4-bay configuration and 31 × 32 inch Sota footprint make this cabinet work in constrained spaces: executive boardrooms, control rooms, and high-end office suites where a full-height, full-width rack would break the room's design.

Technical Highlights:

• 4-bay modular layout: Organize up to four equipment tiers vertically—useful for grouping redundant systems (dual switches, backup power) or separating AV from IT infrastructure for cleaner troubleshooting and maintenance workflows.
• Sota-style proportions (31W × 32D inches): Narrower footprint than standard 19-inch racks, fitting wall-mount installations and corner placements in executive and control room environments without consuming critical floor space.
• Solid door design with no locks included: Presents a seamless, furniture-like appearance from the room side. Doors remain accessible for maintenance, but the front stays visually clean—critical for client-facing installations where cable clutter and equipment visibility damage room aesthetics.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a passive enclosure—you must separately source and mount power distribution, cooling, cable management, and surge protection inside. Plan your PDU and accessory layout during the design phase; tight 4-bay space fills quickly.
• No built-in security features (locks, alarm contacts, RFID access). If physical security is required, locks and handles must be added as retrofit—confirm compatibility with your integrator before specifying.
• The solid doors mean no direct airflow ventilation across equipment. If you're installing high-heat equipment (high-power switches, dense server-grade components), plan supplemental cooling or accept thermal constraints on interior devices.

The C5K-4B1SSHA5-21584 shines in premium office integration cabinets and executive control rooms where appearance is non-negotiable. If your client is trading off some thermal flexibility for visual integration, this cabinet earns its place in the specification.
