Middle Atlantic FWD-DWR-RR40 – Forward 40U Rear Rack Rail Pair

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic FWD-DWR-RR40 is a 40U Forward rear rack rail pair built for DWR and SR Series wall racks. Its square-hole design accepts Forward panels, vents, and cable management accessories without a single rack screw, cutting installation time on every project. Integrated lacing points along the inside of each rail give technicians dedicated tie-off locations for clean cable runs. It is a direct upgrade path for integrators standardizing on tool-free rack hardware.

Product Description

Rear rack rail kits are one of the simplest ways to speed up wall rack integration work, and the FWD-DWR-RR40 brings Middle Atlantic's Forward tool-free system to 40-space DWR and SR Series enclosures. The kit ships as a matched pair of 40U rails that install at the rear of the rack, adding a second mounting plane for blank panels, vent panels, and cable management hardware. Each rail is punched with square holes that let Forward accessories click directly into place — no rack screws, no dropped hardware, no hunting for the right thread. That matters on wall-mounted racks, where working room is tight and every fastener saved shortens the time spent on a ladder. The inside face of each rail includes cable lacing provisions, so interconnects can be dressed and tied off along the full height of the rack without improvised anchor points. Combined with Forward tool-free cable management accessories, the rails create a complete rear-of-rack routing system for AV signal, network, and power cabling. For integrators who already specify DWR pivoting wall racks or SR Series wall racks, this 40U rail pair standardizes the rear rail layout across large wall-mount installations. If your enclosure is a different height, Middle Atlantic offers the same Forward rear rail design in additional rack unit sizes, including the 46U FWD-DWR-RR46.
