Middle Atlantic 2-10M Slim 2 Series 10RU Sloped Desktop Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 2-10M is a 10-rack-unit sloped desktop enclosure from the Slim 2 Series, built for control rooms, AV production desks, and broadcast environments where rack gear needs to sit at an ergonomic angle on a work surface rather than mount in a floor-standing cabinet. At 20.38" wide and 17.91" deep, it fits on a standard desktop without overhanging most work surfaces. The 15.95" usable depth accommodates typical shallow-to-mid-depth rack equipment — enough for signal processors, patch panels, power conditioners, and similar gear, but verify depth before mounting anything exceeding 15" without rails. Product weight is 31 lbs unloaded; plan accordingly for desk load ratings when populated. The black wood grain finish integrates with furniture-grade AV installations where a bare metal rack would be out of place. USA-manufactured and TAA compliant, making the 2-10M appropriate for government facility deployments subject to procurement restrictions.

Compatibility

Accepts standard 19-inch rack equipment on 10-32 threaded rails — the industry-standard thread pattern used by Middle Atlantic rack accessories, blanks, and rails. Compatible with Middle Atlantic's own rack-mount power strips, cable management panels, and vented blanks. Any EIA-310 compliant device (19" panel width) rated for 1U through the available 10RU will mount without modification. Not gangable — this unit does not link side-by-side with adjacent enclosures, so it is a standalone deployment only. For larger rack counts or side-by-side expansion, consider a different enclosure from the desktop rack enclosure category. For NVR installations requiring deeper chassis, verify that your recorder's depth falls within the 15.95" usable depth limit before ordering — most 1U NVRs from Hikvision, Hanwha, and i-PRO measure 14"–16" deep, making this a borderline fit depending on model.

Installation Notes

Rack rail type is 10-32 threaded — use 10-32 rack screws (not included with most rack-mount devices; order separately). The sloped orientation is fixed; this is not a convertible or adjustable-angle design. Shipping weight is 33 lbs, so two-person unboxing is practical for avoiding damage. Review desk structural ratings against populated rack weight before final placement. For larger or modular rack builds, see the rack accessories category for compatible cable management and blanking panels.
