Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-16-26 Slim5 KD is the smallest of the 26-inch deep Slim-5 knockdown rack family, offering 16 rack spaces in a compact enclosure. It is ideal for installations with minimal equipment counts in depth-constrained environments.
Product Description
The 5-16-26 delivers 16U of rack mounting space in a 26-inch deep Slim-5 enclosure. For integrators working in tight millwork cabinets, small utility closets, or furniture-integrated AV systems, this rack provides a right-sized solution without the bulk of a larger chassis. Like all Slim-5 KD models, it ships in flat-panel form to minimize freight costs and simplify delivery through narrow corridors and doorways. EIA-310 rail spacing ensures compatibility with standard rack hardware. Assembly hardware is included. For purchasing and project support, visit creationnetworks.net.
