Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-21 Slim5 KD is a 21-space Slim-5 series knockdown rack with a 20-inch depth. The knockdown design ships flat for efficient freight and storage, then assembles on-site to a full-depth, structurally rigid rack. At 20 inches deep, the Slim-5 series is optimized for AV and IT equipment installations where space is limited.
Product Description
The Slim-5 knockdown (KD) rack series is engineered for AV integrators and IT managers who need a high-quality, space-efficient rack solution with simplified logistics. The 5-21 provides 21U of rack space in a 20-inch depth profile, fitting into tighter installation environments than standard 24-inch deep racks.
