Middle Atlantic DWR-16-22PD 16RU Pivoting Wall Rack with Plexi Door
Overview
The Middle Atlantic DWR-16-22PD is a 16RU pivoting wall-mount rack engineered for AV, security, and network equipment installations where a full floor-standing enclosure is impractical. At 20 inches of usable depth — with an overall unit depth of 22 inches — the DWR-16-22PD handles full-depth 1RU and 2RU gear (patch panels, NVRs, PoE switches, amplifiers) that shallower wall boxes can't accommodate. The rack pivots away from the wall on a forward rackrail system, giving rear-cable access without pulling equipment. UL-rated at 200 lbs (90.7 kg) static load with a seismic rating of 155 lbs (70.3 kg), it's appropriate for both standard commercial builds and installations that require seismic compliance. TAA-compliant construction (Country of Origin: Mexico) satisfies federal procurement requirements. The plexi front door keeps the enclosure clean and visible while protecting equipment from incidental contact. Black wrinkle powder-coat finish on 16-gauge steel. Drop-ship only — plan lead time accordingly.
Compatibility
The DWR-16-22PD accepts any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment up to 20 inches deep across 16RU of usable height (28 inches / 71.1 cm). Typical loads include network video recorders, managed PoE switches, patch panels, UPS units, and AV gear within the 200 lb UL load ceiling. The forward rackrail design is forward-compatible with the broader Middle Atlantic rack accessory line — blanks, shelves, and cable management panels designed for DWR-series enclosures mount without modification. Width of 23.4 inches (59.4 cm) fits standard single-gang wall-rack cutouts and pre-cut drywall templates common in commercial installs.
Installation Notes
Overall enclosure dimensions are 35.06 in H × 23.4 in W × 22 in D (89.1 × 59.4 × 55.9 cm) — verify wall cavity or surface clearance before ordering. Shipping weight is 124 lbs; a two-person lift is required for wall mounting. The pivot mechanism requires unobstructed swing clearance in front of the installation surface. Seismic load capacity of 155 lbs (70.3 kg) applies when anchored per seismic installation guidelines; confirm anchor hardware matches wall substrate. This product ships drop-ship only — it does not stage at a distribution center, so confirm delivery site access for a 124 lb carton before placing the order.
