Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-17 Slim5 KD is a 17-space Slim-5 series knockdown rack with a 20-inch depth. The knockdown format ships flat for reduced freight cost and assembles on-site into a rigid, professional rack enclosure. The compact 17U capacity and slim 20-inch depth profile make it ideal for smaller AV and IT equipment installations in space-constrained environments.
Product Description
The 5-17 is the smallest common configuration in the Slim-5 knockdown line, providing 17U of mounting space in a footprint 4 inches shallower than standard 24-inch racks. This makes it an efficient choice for furniture-integrated AV systems, small equipment closets, and installations where rack depth directly impacts room layout. The knockdown design benefits multi-site deployment projects by reducing shipping volume and cost. It is fully compatible with Slim-5 series accessories.
