Middle Atlantic DWR-16-17PD - 16SP Wall Rack with Plexi Door

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DWR-16-17PD is a 16-space, 17-inch deep wall-mount rack with a plexi (clear acrylic) door. The transparent door provides visual access to front-panel LEDs and status indicators without requiring the door to be opened, making it ideal for monitored equipment locations.

Product Description

The DWR-16-17PD combines the space-efficient wall-mount design of the DWR series with a clear plexi door that allows visual inspection of rack-mounted equipment without disrupting the enclosure. AV integrators and IT managers specify plexi door wall racks for locations where equipment status visibility is required but physical access should be restricted — such as secure equipment closets, network rooms, and distributed AV head-end locations. The 16U capacity in a 17-inch depth is well-suited for switches, media players, controllers, and other shallow-depth rack equipment.

FAQ

Is the plexi door lockable?

Yes. The DWR-16-17PD plexi door includes a lock mechanism for access control. Contact our team at creationnetworks.net to confirm lock specifications.

Can full-depth equipment be installed in the DWR-16-17PD?

The 17-inch interior depth is designed for shallow to mid-depth rack equipment. Full-depth servers and similar equipment are not recommended. For full-depth applications, see the DWR-18-32 at creationnetworks.net.

Does the plexi door affect ventilation?

Yes. Closed plexi doors restrict passive airflow. Ensure adequate ventilation planning for heat-generating equipment when using an enclosed door configuration.
