Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-43 Slim5 KD is a 43-space Slim-5 knockdown rack enclosure at standard 20-inch depth. The knockdown design ships flat and assembles on-site, simplifying transport and installation in buildings with elevator or doorway constraints. At 43U, it provides substantial rack capacity while keeping the overall footprint at the Slim-5 series' narrower width profile. Available at creationnetworks.net.
Product Description
The Slim-5 KD series from Middle Atlantic is designed for AV integrators and IT managers who need to bring a full-height rack enclosure into spaces where assembled rack shipping is impractical. The knockdown format breaks into manageable panels that reassemble into a rigid, professional rack enclosure on-site. The 5-43 provides 43U of standard 19-inch rack space at 20-inch depth (standard depth, no extended depth suffix), making it appropriate for the majority of AV and IT rack equipment. The Slim-5 series' reduced overall width compared to full-width enclosures is advantageous in wall-niche and tight-clearance installations.

- Knockdown (KD) design for flat-pack shipping and on-site assembly

FAQ
- What tools are required to assemble the 5-43 Slim5 KD on-site?
- Assembly typically requires standard hand tools. Refer to Middle Atlantic's assembly documentation included with the product for specific tool requirements.
