Middle Atlantic C5-EXT-3 – C5 Credenza Rear Door Bay Extender

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic C5-EXT-3 is a rear door bay extender that adds 2.84 inches of usable equipment depth to any single bay of a C5 Series credenza. It is the practical fix when a rack-mounted component, connector, or cable bend radius needs slightly more room than the standard credenza frame provides. Integrated cable grommets at the top and bottom of the extension keep cable entry and exit clean and serviceable. The extender installs on one bay, so you only add depth where the equipment actually requires it.

Product Description

C5 Series credenzas put AV equipment inside conference room furniture, and that finished-furniture form factor means interior depth is at a premium. The Middle Atlantic C5-EXT-3 rear door bay extender solves depth constraints by extending the rear door of a single C5 credenza bay, adding 2.84 inches of usable depth behind the rack rail. That extra clearance accommodates deeper components, rear-panel connectors, and the cable bend radius required by HDMI, network, and power cabling. Cable grommets positioned at both the top and bottom of the extender give installers a defined path for cable entry and exit, which keeps the credenza interior organized and protects cables from pinch points. Because the C5-EXT-3 mounts on a per-bay basis, a three-bay credenza can use an extender only on the bay housing the deepest equipment while the remaining bays keep the standard profile. This is a common approach in conference rooms, huddle spaces, and classrooms where a codec, switcher, or amplifier runs deeper than typical half-rack gear. The extender is a factory accessory engineered specifically for the C5 credenza frame, so fit and finish are consistent with the rest of the enclosure. If you are planning a full C5 credenza build, Creation Networks stocks C5 frames, vents, and accessories to complete the system.
