Middle Atlantic WM-8-18 18in Deep Wall Mount
Overview
The Middle Atlantic WM-8-18 is an 8 RU open-frame wall mount rack designed for secure, accessible mounting of AV and network equipment in commercial and enterprise environments. With an 18-inch usable depth and a 150 lb weight capacity, it's engineered to handle substantial gear loads, making it suitable for network closets, control rooms, or behind-the-scenes AV installations where space is limited and direct access is required. The TAA compliance and USA origin are key for federal and specific government deployments.
Compatibility
This rack frame is compatible with standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment. It features 10-32 threaded rack rails, which are standard for most AV and IT equipment, including network switches, patch panels, and surveillance NVRs. Its 8 RU capacity is suitable for consolidating multiple smaller devices or a few larger components.
Installation Notes
The rack's usable height is 14 inches, accommodating equipment within this vertical constraint. The overall dimensions are 17.75 inches high by 19.78 inches wide, requiring adequate wall space. Ensure the mounting surface can support the rack's weight plus the 150 lb equipment load. The 18-inch usable depth accommodates most standard rack-mount devices, but verify specific component depths before installation.
