Middle Atlantic DRK19-44-42 – 44U 30" Wide 42" Deep Floor Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DRK19-44-42 is a 44-rack-unit, 42-inch-deep, 30-inch-wide floor-standing rack enclosure in the DRK19 series, designed for deep IT and AV equipment in professional installations. With its extra depth, this rack accommodates UPS systems, deep server chassis, large-format AV equipment, and cable-intensive installations that cannot fit in standard-depth enclosures. Common search terms include 44U deep rack enclosure 42 inch, Middle Atlantic DRK floor rack 30 wide, and floor-standing rack for deep AV and IT equipment.

Product Description

The DRK19-44-42 is part of Middle Atlantic's DRK19 series of floor-standing rack enclosures, engineered for environments that demand extra interior depth alongside standard 19-inch rack rail compatibility. The 42-inch interior depth provides clearance for the deepest equipment found in professional AV and IT deployments, including UPS batteries, patch-intensive network switches with rear cable management, large matrix switchers, and broadcast-grade equipment. At 44 rack units, the enclosure delivers maximum equipment density for large systems that require deep gear across many rack positions. The 30-inch width is wider than standard 24-inch racks, providing additional side clearance for cable routing and equipment handling during installation and maintenance. The floor-standing design with leveling feet accommodates uneven floor surfaces common in existing equipment rooms and data center environments. Front and rear door access allows technicians to service equipment from either side without moving the rack. The DRK19 series is specified for data center, operations center, and large AV system deployments where equipment depth requirements exceed what standard racks provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose 42" depth over a standard 29" or 32" rack?

A: The 42-inch depth is required for equipment that exceeds the clearance provided by standard AV racks, including deep UPS systems, large server chassis, and certain broadcast-grade equipment. Verify the mounted depth of your specific equipment before specifying.

Q: What is the benefit of the 30" width over standard 24" racks?

A: The additional width provides extra side clearance for cable management and makes it easier to route cables from rear panels, especially in dense 44U configurations.

Q: Does the DRK19-44-42 require floor anchoring?

A: The unit includes leveling feet for stable placement. Floor anchoring requirements depend on local building codes and seismic zone requirements. Contact Creation Networks for guidance.

Q: Is this rack compatible with standard 19" rack-mount equipment?

A: Yes. The DRK19-44-42 uses standard 19-inch rail spacing and is compatible with all standard rack-mount equipment.

Q: Can this rack be used in a data center environment?

A: Yes. The DRK19-44-42 is well-suited for data center and server room environments where deep equipment and high rack-unit counts are required.

Q: What warranty applies to the DRK19-44-42?

A: Middle Atlantic Products provides a limited lifetime warranty on their rack enclosures. Contact Creation Networks for details.

Q: Where can I purchase the DRK19-44-42?
