Middle Atlantic GRK-40-36HLRD – 40SP Gangable Key Rack 36"D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic GRK-40-36HLRD is a 40-space gangable key-lock rack enclosure with integrated H-bar cable guides, lever-release door, and 36-inch depth, positioned between the 30-inch and 42-inch GRK depth variants for AV and IT deployments where moderate equipment depth and enhanced cable management are required. As part of the GRK series, this enclosure is built for multi-bay row configurations in enterprise AV rooms, broadcast facilities, and data infrastructure environments. AV integrators and IT procurement teams looking for a 40U gangable rack with 36-inch depth, a GRK H-bar cable management rack, or a Middle Atlantic key-lock rack enclosure 36-inch will find this model suited to structured row rack installations with mid-depth equipment loads.

Product Description

The GRK-40-36HLRD provides 40 rack spaces at a 36-inch internal depth, offering more rear cable dressing space than 30-inch variants while remaining shallower than 42-inch deep enclosures. This depth is a practical choice for installations where equipment chassis depths range from 24 to 30 inches and rear cable management volume is moderate. The integrated H-bar cable guides are factory-installed vertical channels that route power and signal cables from top to bottom inside the enclosure without requiring separate cable management accessories. The lever-release door allows tool-free front access, and the key-lock mechanism provides physical security appropriate for shared or access-controlled equipment rooms. Gangable construction allows direct side-by-side coupling with adjacent GRK units, forming continuous rack rows with no gaps between cabinets. Rail hardware is 10-32 standard, compatible with the full Middle Atlantic accessory catalog. Available through Creation Networks, an authorized Middle Atlantic distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the 36-inch depth over the 30-inch or 42-inch GRK variants?

The 36-inch depth is appropriate when equipment chassis depths reach 28-30 inches or when rear cable volume is moderate but does not justify the full 42-inch depth. For a direct comparison of all GRK depth variants, visit creationnetworks.net.

Can this unit be used as a stand-alone enclosure?

Yes, with the addition of finished side panels. The gangable frame is open on the sides. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for side panel options.

Are H-bars compatible with cable lacing or Velcro?

Yes. H-bars accept standard cable ties, lacing bars, and hook-and-loop straps for structured cable dressing. Consult Middle Atlantic documentation or creationnetworks.net for compatible accessories.
