Middle Atlantic DWR-21-17PD 21SP/17D WALLRACK W/PLEXI

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DWR-21-17PD is a 21-space, 17-inch deep shallow wall rack with an integrated plexiglass door, designed for small AV and IT equipment installations in wall-mounted or semi-recessed configurations. The plexiglass door provides visual equipment status monitoring without requiring the door to be opened, allowing LEDs and displays on rack-mounted equipment to remain visible at all times. At 17 inches of depth and 21 rack spaces, this wall rack is suited for small network closets, conference room AV systems, and equipment installations in areas without dedicated rack rooms. It is a practical choice for AV integrators who need a secure, contained rack in a minimal footprint.

Product Description

The DWR-21-17PD shallow wall rack combines a 21-space rackmount capacity with a 17-inch depth profile suitable for wall mounting in locations where floor-standing racks are not practical. The plexiglass front door provides full visual access to rack-mounted equipment indicators while keeping the rack interior protected from dust, physical contact, and casual tampering. The door is hinged for full swing-out access during installation and maintenance activities. All-steel construction provides the structural rigidity needed to support the weight of standard rackmount equipment across all 21 spaces. Threaded rails accept standard 10-32 or 12-24 rackmount hardware depending on configuration. The rack is finished in Middle Atlantic's standard black powder coat for a professional appearance in visible installation locations such as conference rooms, reception areas, and education classrooms. Wall mounting hardware is compatible with standard stud and masonry wall construction. The shallow 17-inch depth allows installation in wall cavities or close to wall surfaces without significant protrusion into the room. Middle Atlantic accessories including blanks, shelves, and power strips are compatible with the DWR-21-17PD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the DWR-21-17PD be surface mounted on any wall type?

The DWR-21-17PD can be surface mounted to standard wood stud walls using appropriate fasteners. For masonry or concrete walls, masonry anchors are required. Verify wall structure and load capacity before installation.

Does the plexiglass door lock?

Lock availability depends on the specific DWR model configuration. Contact Creation Networks at https://creationnetworks.net for lock accessory options for the DWR-21-17PD.

What is the maximum equipment depth the DWR-21-17PD can accept?

With a nominal 17-inch external depth, usable equipment depth is less after accounting for the door, rear wall clearance, and rail-to-rail distance. Verify equipment dimensions against Middle Atlantic's specification sheet before specifying this rack.
