Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5-8-26 Slim5 KD is a Slim-5 series knockdown rack enclosure providing 8 rack spaces (8SP) with a 26-inch depth. Its knockdown (KD) design enables flat-pack shipping and on-site assembly, making it efficient for integrators and installers working in space-constrained environments.
Product Description
The Slim-5 series is engineered for installations where rack width is limited but equipment density remains a priority. The knockdown design reduces shipping volume and allows the enclosure to be assembled in situ, which is particularly valuable for retrofit installations and sites with restricted access. At 8SP and 26 inches of internal depth, the 5-8-26 accommodates full-depth AV and IT equipment while maintaining a reduced exterior footprint compared to standard full-width rack enclosures.
