Middle Atlantic DWR-35-22PD – 35SP Pivoting Wall Rack, Plexi Door

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DWR-35-22PD is a wall mount AV rack from the DWR Series of pivoting wall racks, providing 35 rack spaces at 22 inches of interior depth behind a locking plexiglass door. It is designed for wiring closets, utility rooms, and wall-mounted AV equipment installations where floor space is unavailable but secure, serviceable equipment housing is required. The plexiglass door keeps status LEDs visible for at-a-glance inspection while protecting equipment from unauthorized access.

Product Description

The DWR Series pivoting wall rack is a core Middle Atlantic platform for commercial AV installation where equipment must mount directly to the wall structure. The DWR-35-22PD delivers 35 spaces of capacity at 22-inch depth, sized for the signal processing, control, and networking equipment typical of classroom, conference room head-end, and wiring closet deployments.

The plexiglass door (PD) distinguishes this model. Facilities staff and integrators can visually verify equipment status, check indicator lights, and observe cabling without unlocking the enclosure — valuable in shared utility rooms, school AV closets, and any space where quick inspection beats full-access entry. The door locks to keep the equipment secure from tampering.

As a pivoting wall rack design, the DWR Series is built for serviceability in wall-mounted AV integration, giving technicians access to equipment and cabling in spaces where a floor-standing rack would be impractical. Wall-mount construction eliminates the floor footprint entirely, suiting small IT closets, corridors, and recessed equipment locations. The 22-inch depth accommodates standard AV processors, control systems, and managed network switches without requiring server-grade rack depth. Middle Atlantic PDUs, cable management panels, and ventilation accessories complete the enclosure.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a plexiglass door instead of a solid door?

The plexiglass door keeps equipment status lights and LEDs visible for quick fault identification without opening the rack — useful in shared spaces where staff need at-a-glance verification while the lock maintains security.

What wall structure does the DWR-35-22PD require?

The rack must anchor to a wall capable of supporting the combined weight of the enclosure and all installed equipment. A licensed installer should confirm blocking and fastener requirements for your wall construction during installation planning.

Is 22 inches deep enough for AV control systems and switches?

Yes. Most AV control processors, signal processors, and managed switches run 12 to 18 inches deep, leaving clearance for rear cable management within the 22-inch interior.

How does the pivoting DWR design help during service?

The DWR Series is engineered for technician access in wall-mounted installations, making equipment and rear cabling serviceable in closets where a floor-standing rack would be impractical.

Can I add power distribution and ventilation to this rack?

Yes. The DWR-35-22PD accepts Middle Atlantic rack-mount PDUs, cable management panels, and ventilation accessories. Creation Networks can spec a complete accessory package for your deployment.

What warranty and support come with this rack?

The DWR-35-22PD is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty, and Creation Networks provides pre-sale design help and post-sale support at creationnetworks.net.
