Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DWR-24-26 is a 24-space, 26-inch-deep wall-mounted rack in black finish.

The open-back design simplifies cable entry from conduit or surface-mounted raceway. Available at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

Wall racks are a standard solution for small-to-medium AV and IT equipment groupings in spaces where a floor-standing rack is impractical. The DWR-24-26 offers 24 rack spaces at a 26-inch depth, providing capacity for most common AV rack builds including amplifiers, DSPs, media players, and network switching without requiring floor space. The black finish matches standard rack accessory aesthetics and blends into typical wall and equipment room environments. The open-back construction allows cable entry through the wall, conduit, or surface raceway directly into the rear of the rack without requiring cable glands or grommets. Threaded rack rails simplify equipment mounting without the need for cage nuts. A hinged door option is available for installations requiring front panel protection, though the base unit ships without a door. The DWR frame is engineered for wall attachment to structural studs or wall blocking with appropriate hardware; installations must be assessed for wall load capacity before mounting. The 26-inch depth accommodates the majority of AV electronics and smaller 1U-2U IT gear. This rack is commonly used in small conference rooms, digital signage equipment closets, retail AV systems, and residential AV installations where the rack is installed in a utility space.
