Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-42-26 Slim5 KD is a 42-space (42SP), 26-inch-deep knockdown rack from the Slim-5 series. Shipped flat-packed for economical transport and on-site assembly, this rack is suited for AV integrators and IT managers who need high-capacity rack infrastructure with minimal shipping footprint. The 42SP height aligns with standard server room rack sizing conventions.
Product Description
Part of Middle Atlantic's Slim-5 KD lineup, the 5-42-26 features a reduced-width profile that conserves floor space without sacrificing rack capacity. At 26 inches of usable depth, this rack handles the majority of AV and IT gear including network switches, patch panels, amplifiers, media servers, and signal processors. Knockdown construction means the rack ships in a flat box and assembles with basic hand tools on-site.
