Middle Atlantic MFR-1627GE Mobile Furniture Rack 16U 27-Inch Depth Grained Ebony Ash
Overview
The MFR-1627GE is a 16-rack-unit mobile furniture rack from Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic MFR series, built for deployments where equipment needs to roll between locations — broadcast carts, AV presentation systems, temporary security control stations, and tech rooms that don't have a permanent rack footprint. At 27.37 inches deep with 23.19 inches of usable depth, it accommodates full-depth NVRs, servers, and patch panels without the rear-panel compression that shallower mobile units force. The 250 lb UL-rated load capacity means you can fill all 16U without worrying about structural limits. The grained ebony ash melamine finish integrates into finished environments — boardrooms, NOCs, lobby security desks — without looking like bare server room steel. 3-inch casters provide enough ground clearance to roll across standard commercial flooring and cable transitions.
Compatibility
Accepts any 19-inch panel-width equipment using standard 10-32 threaded rack rails — the dominant fastener standard across network video recorders, managed PoE switches, patch panels, UPS units, and AV gear. Usable height is 28.16 inches (16U at standard 1.75 inches per unit). The monitor mounting provision accommodates flat-panel display arms and monitor shelves designed for 10-32 rail systems. Compatible with Middle Atlantic's accessory ecosystem including cable management panels, blanking panels, and shelf units sized for this rack family. Not suited for heavy fixed infrastructure (HVAC, generator transfer switches) or deployments requiring seismic bracing — this is a mobile platform, not a bolted-down cabinet.
Installation Notes
Shipping weight is 100 lbs — plan for two-person positioning. Caster locks should be engaged any time the rack is stationary and loaded; the 250 lb load rating assumes level flooring and locked casters. Rack rail type is 10-32 threaded; confirm your equipment uses 10-32 cage nuts or direct-thread screws before ordering. Total footprint is 22.63 inches wide × 27.37 inches deep — verify floor clearance in tight tech closets or elevator cabs before routing. Wood melamine construction means this rack is not rated for outdoor or high-humidity environments.
