Middle Atlantic GRK-44-24HLRD 44SP,24D GRK W/HBARS,LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic GRK-44-24HLRD is a 44-space, 24-inch-deep gangable key-lock rack equipped with integrated H-bar cable management and a low-resistance door (LRD). Designed for side-by-side multi-rack deployments, the GRK Series allows adjacent units to be ganged together for a unified, flush appearance without gaps or exposed hardware. The H-bar system provides structured internal cable management for both horizontal and vertical cable runs, while the LRD provides front access with minimal obstruction to airflow and visibility.

Product Description

The GRK-44-24HLRD is engineered for professional AV and IT environments where organized cable management, access security, and multi-rack scalability are critical requirements. The 44-space, 24-inch-deep enclosure accommodates a full range of rackmount equipment within a compact footprint suited to side-by-side bay installations. H-bar cable managers are integrated both horizontally between rack units and vertically along the interior sides, providing defined paths for audio, video, data, and power cabling without the need for separate add-on accessories. The LRD (Low-Resistance Door) provides front panel access while offering lower airflow resistance than standard solid doors, making it suitable for thermally sensitive builds. The key-lock latch system secures the door against unauthorized access while allowing authorized personnel quick entry without tools. The gangable design includes hardware to join adjacent racks flush, creating a seamless multi-rack console appearance common in broadcast, control room, and operations center environments. Interior rails are EIA-310 compliant with 10-32 tapped mounting holes, and the heavy-gauge steel frame provides the structural rigidity required for high equipment density. The rack is finished in Middle Atlantic's standard black for a professional appearance consistent across the product line. All assembly hardware is included, and the unit is designed for permanent installation. The GRK-44-24HLRD meets UL and ETL listing requirements for North American deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does H-bar cable management provide?

H-bar managers create dedicated horizontal channels between rack units and vertical paths along the rack interior, keeping audio, video, data, and power cables separated and organized without requiring aftermarket accessories.

What is the LRD (Low-Resistance Door)?

The LRD is a ventilated front door designed to provide lower airflow resistance compared to a solid panel door, helping maintain acceptable operating temperatures in thermally active equipment builds.

Can multiple GRK-44-24HLRD units be ganged together?

Yes. The GRK Series is specifically engineered for side-by-side ganging. Hardware for joining adjacent units flush is included with each rack, creating a seamless multi-bay appearance.

Where can I purchase the GRK-44-24HLRD?
