Middle Atlantic MRK-2426 – 24SP Multibay MRK Rack 26"D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic MRK-2426 is a 24-space multibay MRK rack with a 26-inch depth, designed for AV equipment rooms and system integration projects requiring a mid-height gangable rack frame. The MRK series is Middle Atlantic's production-grade multibay rack line, built for environments where multiple racks are installed in a row and structural coupling between bays provides both load distribution and installation efficiency. The 24U height is suited to AV deployments where equipment density is moderate and a lower rack height improves accessibility for standing operators. The 26-inch depth accommodates standard AV processing, distribution, and networking equipment without requiring full 30-inch depth frames.

Product Description

The MRK-2426 is a practical mid-height rack for AV integrators who need a gangable frame that does not extend to full ceiling height, which improves equipment accessibility and reduces ladder use during installation and maintenance. At 24 rack units, this frame accommodates switchers, DSPs, amplifiers, power distribution units, and patch panels in a configuration that remains manageable for a single technician. The 26-inch depth is well-matched to the AV gear most commonly installed in corporate, education, and live event environments: 1U and 2U signal processors, network switches, and 2U amplifiers all fit without requiring additional front or rear extension rails. The multibay gangable design is central to the MRK series value proposition: adjacent bays share structural support through coupling hardware, enabling long rack rows with a consistent appearance and shared cable management infrastructure. Middle Atlantic MRK frames use heavy-gauge steel construction and a welded base to support fully populated configurations. The frame accepts 10-32 and 12-24 threaded accessories from Middle Atlantic's full catalog. Available through Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
