Middle Atlantic DWR-24-22PD 24RU Pivoting Wall Rack with Plexi Door
Overview
The Middle Atlantic DWR-24-22PD is a 24RU steel wall rack built for installations where floor space is unavailable — AV head-end closets, security equipment rooms, and network distribution points in commercial facilities. At 20 inches of usable depth and a 300 lb UL-rated load capacity, it accommodates full-depth network switches, NVRs, and patch panels without requiring a floor footprint. The pivoting design lets you swing the rack away from the wall for rear-access wiring without disconnecting equipment — a real time-saver during commissioning and adds-moves-changes in confined spaces. The plexi front door keeps equipment visible for quick status checks while protecting against accidental contact. Finished in black wrinkle powder coat over steel construction, the DWR-24-22PD carries TAA compliance and seismic rating (155 lb seismic load capacity), making it eligible for government and education deployments where both are required.
Compatibility
Accepts any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment up to 24RU in height and up to 20 inches in usable depth. The forward rackrail configuration is forward-compatible with Middle Atlantic's accessory ecosystem — including cable management panels, brush panels, and blanking plates from the DWR and BGR families. Verified compatible with 1U and 2U patch panels, 1U–4U network switches, and rack-mount NVRs from Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and similar manufacturers that ship in 1U–4U form factors with depths under 20 inches. The 42-inch usable height (49.06 in overall) fits within standard 8-foot ceiling clearance with room for top conduit entry. Seismic rating meets typical California OSHPD and IBC zone requirements — confirm your jurisdiction's specific load table against the 155 lb seismic capacity before specifying for critical infrastructure.
Installation Notes
