Middle Atlantic R4CN - 4-Post Open Frame Rack Series

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic R4CN is a 4-post open-frame rack series designed for IT, data center, and AV applications requiring maximum equipment accessibility and airflow. The open-frame design eliminates side panels and doors, providing full front, rear, and side access to mounted equipment for simplified installation and maintenance.

Product Description

4-post open-frame racks are the preferred format for server rooms, data centers, and network equipment installations where airflow management and technician access take priority over physical enclosure security. The R4CN series provides two front posts and two rear posts, allowing equipment to be mounted at standard 19-inch widths and supported at both the front and rear, which is critical for heavy servers, network switches, and dense patch panel installations. Middle Atlantic's R4CN series is engineered for stability under full load and is compatible with a wide range of rack accessories including cable management panels, PDUs, and blanking panels.

FAQ

What is the difference between an open-frame rack and an enclosed rack?

An open-frame rack has no side panels, front door, or rear door. It provides maximum airflow and access but no physical security or dust protection. Enclosed racks (such as the ERK series) add panels and doors for secure, finished installations.

Can I add side panels or doors to the R4CN?

The R4CN is an open-frame series. For enclosed rack configurations, see the ERK or GRK series at creationnetworks.net.

What rack heights and depths are available in the R4CN series?

The R4CN series is available in multiple height and depth configurations. Contact creationnetworks.net to confirm which specific R4CN variants are in stock.
