Middle Atlantic GRK-48-24HLRD 48SP,24D GRK W/HBARS,LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic GRK-48-24HLRD is a 48-space, 24-inch-deep gangable key-lock rack with H-bar cable management and LRD (Lacing Rod Dividers). It is designed for high-density AV and IT equipment rooms requiring integrated cable management and controlled access within a gangable rack system. The key-lock feature restricts unauthorized equipment access, while H-bars and LRDs provide systematic cable routing across the full rack height. Available at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

The GRK series is Middle Atlantic's gangable rack line for professional equipment room buildouts requiring both structure and integrated cable management. The GRK-48-24HLRD provides 48 rack spaces — a full-height configuration — in a 24-inch depth footprint with key-lock access panels. Forty-eight spaces allows a complete dense equipment deployment, accommodating amplifiers, video distribution matrices, network switches, patch panels, and associated power equipment in a single bay. The key-lock panels restrict access to authorized personnel, which is a requirement in shared facilities and multi-tenant equipment rooms. H-bars (horizontal cable management bars) span across the rack frame at intervals, providing anchor points for horizontal cable runs that cross multiple rack bays in a ganged configuration. LRDs (Lacing Rod Dividers) provide vertical cable separation within the rack, organizing cable runs by signal type or circuit to reduce cross-talk and simplify troubleshooting. The 24-inch depth is appropriate for standard AV electronics; integrators requiring extended depth for servers or high-depth AV processors should verify equipment fit. The gangable frame allows multiple GRK enclosures to be bolted side by side, sharing structural elements and H-bar cable management across the multi-bay system. This rack is a common specification in corporate AV equipment rooms, broadcast facilities, and higher-education AV infrastructure where cable management and access control are both project requirements.

Key Features

• 48 rack spaces — Full-height capacity for dense AV and IT equipment deployments.
• 24-inch depth — Standard depth fits the majority of AV signal chain equipment.
• Key-lock access — Restricts equipment access to authorized personnel in shared or multi-tenant facilities.
• H-bar cable management — Horizontal cable management bars for organized cross-bay cable routing.
• LRD (Lacing Rod Dividers) — Vertical cable separation for organized, traceable cable management within the rack.
• Gangable frame — Bolts to adjacent GRK enclosures for multi-bay equipment room buildouts.

Typical Applications

• Corporate AV equipment rooms requiring integrated cable management and access control
• Broadcast and production facility equipment racks with high cable density
• Higher-education AV infrastructure requiring organized, serviceable cable runs
• Multi-tenant equipment rooms where key-lock access restriction is a security requirement
• Large venue AV back-of-house equipment rooms with ganged rack configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many key locks are included, and are additional keys available?

A: Key quantity and additional key availability depend on the specific lock configuration. Contact Creation Networks for details on key lock specifications for the GRK-48-24HLRD.

Q: What is the difference between H-bars and LRDs?

A: H-bars are horizontal cable management bars that span across the rack frame, routing cables horizontally between rack bays. LRDs are lacing rod dividers that organize cables vertically within the rack, keeping signal types separated and cable runs traceable.

Q: Can I gang the GRK-48-24HLRD with other GRK models of different heights?

A: Ganging typically requires matching frame heights for structural alignment. Contact Creation Networks or Middle Atlantic to confirm compatibility with adjacent GRK frame configurations.
