Middle Atlantic MRK-4026 – 40SP 26D Multibay AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic MRK-4026 is a 40-space, 26-inch-deep pre-configured multibay AV rack designed for gangable equipment room installations where a larger rack capacity is required. The 40U interior accommodates high-density AV signal distribution, control systems, and networking infrastructure in a single bay. At 26 inches of interior depth, it is sized for standard AV rackmount gear without the added depth of larger enclosures. The MRK-4026 is part of Middle Atlantic's MRK millwork rack series, suitable for finished and semi-exposed equipment room environments.

Product Description

The MRK-4026 provides 40 rack units of usable space in a 26-inch interior depth, a configuration well-matched to AV rack builds that require more vertical capacity than a 37U enclosure but do not need the depth of a 31- or 35-inch model. At 26 inches, the interior depth fits most AV signal processors, control system hardware, patch panels, and compact networking equipment without wasted depth that complicates cable routing. The MRK series is Middle Atlantic's millwork rack platform, engineered for AV furniture integration and finished equipment room installations where appearance, structural consistency, and pre-configured delivery matter. Multibay (gangable) construction allows multiple MRK-4026 bays to be mechanically joined side-by-side for a continuous, rigid rack row — a common requirement in larger AV system builds with separate amplifier, distribution, and control rack sections. Pre-configured delivery means the enclosure ships assembled and ready for equipment loading, reducing on-site assembly time and potential for configuration errors. Internal cable management provisions are designed to handle the higher cable volumes typical of a 40U AV rack. The MRK series finish is appropriate for exposed equipment rooms in corporate, education, hospitality, and government facility environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MRK-4026 include a door?

The MRK-4026 does not include a lever-release door. If front panel tool-free access is required, the MRK-4426LRD is the model with an LRD at 44U, or contact your sales representative about door options for the MRK series.

Can the MRK-4026 be combined with other MRK bays?

Yes. Multibay (gangable) construction allows it to be bolted side-by-side with adjacent MRK bays for a unified rack row.

What does pre-configured mean?

The rack ships fully assembled from the factory. Integrators receive a ready-to-load enclosure without on-site assembly of the rack structure.
