Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-21-26 Slim5 KD is a slim-profile knockdown rack designed for installations where space is at a premium. At 21 rack spaces and 26 inches deep, it provides a compact yet capable enclosure for AV and IT equipment. The knockdown design simplifies shipping and on-site assembly, reducing freight costs and installation time.
Product Description
The Slim-5 series from Middle Atlantic Products is engineered for integrators who need a professional-grade rack in environments where full-depth enclosures are impractical. The 5-21-26 model offers 21U of usable space within a 26-inch depth footprint, making it well suited for smaller equipment rooms, back-of-house AV closets, and tight millwork installations. The knockdown (KD) configuration ships flat, allowing delivery through standard doorways and assembly at the point of installation. All hardware is included. Rail spacing conforms to EIA-310 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with third-party rack equipment. For more information or to request a quote, visit creationnetworks.net.

FAQ
- What does knockdown (KD) mean?
- Knockdown means the rack ships disassembled in flat panels, reducing the shipping box size and allowing delivery through standard doorways. Assembly is completed on-site using the included hardware.
- Is this rack compatible with standard 19-inch rack equipment?
- Yes. The 5-21-26 uses EIA-310 compliant rail spacing, which is the industry standard for 19-inch rack-mounted equipment.
- Can I add Middle Atlantic accessories such as shelves or blanks?
- Yes. The Slim-5 KD is compatible with standard Middle Atlantic rack accessories. Contact creationnetworks.net for accessory recommendations.
- What is the difference between the 26-inch and 20-inch depth models?
- The 26-inch depth models (5-16-26, 5-19-26, 5-21-26) provide additional clearance for deeper equipment. The standard 20-inch depth models (5-35, 5-37) are optimized for lighter AV distributions and control systems.
