Middle Atlantic 5-29-CONFIG – 29SP 20D Slim-5 Configured AV Furniture Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5-29-CONFIG is a 29-space, 20-inch-deep pre-configured rack in the Slim-5 series, designed specifically for integration into AV furniture, credenzas, and millwork where shallow depth is a design constraint. The 20-inch depth makes it one of the shallowest configured rack options available for professional AV installations, accommodating control systems, signal processors, and other compact AV gear without requiring a full-depth equipment room enclosure. The Slim-5 series is purpose-built for AV furniture integration where the rack must fit within a furniture cabinet profile. It is the practical solution for conference rooms, boardrooms, and presentation spaces with furniture-integrated AV.

Product Description

The Slim-5 series addresses a specific challenge in AV integration: fitting a professional-grade rack enclosure inside furniture or millwork where interior depth is constrained to 20 inches or less. Standard rack enclosures at 26 to 32 inches of depth will not fit inside most AV credenzas, media consoles, or custom millwork without significant modification. The 5-29-CONFIG provides 29U of rack space within a 20-inch depth, enough vertical capacity for a complete AV control and distribution layer in a conference room or boardroom system. The configured designation means the rack ships pre-assembled and ready for equipment installation, reducing on-site labor. At 29U, the interior accommodates control processors, audio DSPs, video distribution amplifiers, cable management units, and power distribution — the typical complement of a mid-size corporate AV system. The shallow depth requires careful equipment selection: only gear rated for shallow-depth or half-rack installation will fit. Middle Atlantic provides a range of compatible shallow-mount accessories and blanking panels for the Slim-5 series. The Slim-5 platform integrates cleanly with Middle Atlantic's furniture and millwork product lines, making it the preferred choice when the AV system design begins with a furniture specification rather than an equipment room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment fits in a 20-inch-deep Slim-5 rack?

Shallow-mount AV gear rated for 17 to 20 inches of depth — control processors, audio DSPs, video distribution amplifiers, small networking switches, and cable management units — will fit. Standard full-depth equipment (24 to 32 inches) will not.

Can the 5-29-CONFIG be used in an equipment room instead of furniture?

Technically yes, but it is designed for furniture integration. Its 20-inch depth limits equipment compatibility. For equipment rooms, a standard depth WRK or MRK series rack is the better choice.

Does Middle Atlantic make furniture specifically for the Slim-5 rack?

Yes. The Slim-5 series is part of Middle Atlantic's furniture integration ecosystem. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net to specify a complete furniture and rack solution.
