Middle Atlantic DWR-24-22PD – 24RU 22" Deep Wall Rack, Plexi Door

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DWR-24-22PD is a 24-space, 22-inch deep DWR Series pivoting wall rack with a factory-installed plexi door, built for commercial AV installations where floor space is unavailable or impractical. The pivoting center section swings open for full rear access to equipment and cabling, making wall-mounted head ends genuinely serviceable after installation. Forward and Lever Lock compatibility brings tool-free accessory mounting to the platform, helping integrators complete rack installations up to five times faster.

Product Description

Wall racks solve a recurring problem in commercial AV integration: equipment that needs secure, ventilated housing in rooms with no space for a floor-standing enclosure. The DWR-24-22PD provides 24 rack units of capacity at 22 inches deep, enough for switchers, amplifiers, network hardware, and control processors serving a meeting space or classroom wing. The rack is equipped with Forward rackrail, enabling the use of Forward blank panels, vent panels, and horizontal cable management; rear rackrail is available as an option (FWD-DWR-RRxx). It also accepts the patented Lever Lock tool-free, hardware-free internal device and cable management accessories in the center section and on the backpan (with the LL-DWR/SR-BP adapter), reducing screw-by-screw mounting labor in the field. Welded steel construction delivers structural strength, and seismic certification is available when used with the DWRSR-ZL latch. The center section's rear channel accommodates optional slim power, including the 10-outlet Select Vertical PDU with RackLink, to preserve rack spaces for revenue equipment. The Tool-Free Quick-Mount system lets one technician mount the center section to the backpan on the jobsite, and an optional minimum-clearance latch permits side-by-side or interior corner mounting in tight rooms. The reversible center section swing can be both key-locked and padlocked, and it is keyed differently from the optional front door for layered security. The enclosure is designed for active or passive cooling, and the included plexi door provides equipment visibility with physical protection.

Rear rackrail is optional and ordered separately as FWD-DWR-RRxx. The included Forward front rackrail supports Forward blank panels, vent panels, and horizontal cable management.
