Middle Atlantic SR-24-28 24SP/28D SWINGING WALLRK

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SR-24-28 is a 24-space swing-arm wall-mount rack at 28-inch depth, engineered for wiring closets, telecom rooms, and AV equipment rooms that require rear cable access without permanent floor obstruction. Its piano hinge swing mechanism rotates the entire 24U enclosure away from the wall, exposing all rear terminations and cable runs for installation and maintenance. AV integrators and IT managers specify the SR-24-28 as a 24U swing wall rack where depth headroom up to 28 inches is available and midrange equipment density is sufficient. It also suits installations requiring a 28-inch deep wall rack for AV closet deployments or medium-density network termination rooms.

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic SR-24-28 mounts to wall studs or a rated backboard and pivots outward on a continuous piano hinge, giving technicians unobstructed access to every rear port, cable bundle, and termination block. The 24-space (24U) rail height covers a practical range of deployments: enough space for a full patch panel complement plus switching, amplification, and signal processing equipment, without the bulk of a 40U or 44U enclosure. At 28 inches deep, the SR-24-28 accommodates a wider range of equipment chassis than shallower swing rack models, including mid-depth network switches, larger signal processors, and AV matrix switchers. The swing-out operation is particularly valuable in tight rooms where rear wall access would otherwise require moving adjacent equipment or disassembling portions of the installation. Rails are tapped at 10-32 to accept standard rack hardware across commercial AV and IT equipment brands. Welded-steel frame construction with powder-coat finish meets the durability expectations of commercial integrators working in facilities, education, government, and corporate environments. Middle Atlantic cable management accessories and shelves integrate directly with the SR-24-28 rail pattern without adapters. The unit arrives ready for wall installation and does not require modification to accept standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment. For multi-room or multi-building deployments, the consistent Middle Atlantic SR form factor streamlines installation documentation and spare-parts management.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What mounting surface does the SR-24-28 require?

The SR-24-28 must be fastened to wall studs or a solid backboard rated for the combined weight of the rack and all installed equipment. Consult Middle Atlantic installation documentation for load ratings and stud-mount configurations.

How far does the rack swing away from the wall?

The piano hinge allows the rack to rotate fully perpendicular to the wall surface, clearing all rear panels, cable trays, and termination blocks for unobstructed access.

Is the SR-24-28 compatible with standard 19-inch equipment?

Yes. The rack uses standard 19-inch EIA rails tapped at 10-32, accepting virtually all commercial AV and IT rack-mount gear without adapters.

Does 28-inch depth fit most AV and networking equipment?

At 28 inches, the SR-24-28 accommodates mid-depth network switches, AV matrix switchers, signal processors, and the majority of amplifier chassis found in commercial AV installations. Only exceptionally deep chassis may require a deeper enclosure.

Can I add cable management to the SR-24-28?

Yes. Middle Atlantic horizontal cable managers, panels, and shelves that use the standard 10-32 rail pattern are compatible with the SR-24-28 without modification.

Where can I purchase the Middle Atlantic SR-24-28?

The SR-24-28 is available from Creation Networks at https://creationnetworks.net, an authorized Middle Atlantic distributor serving commercial AV integrators and IT professionals.

How does the SR-24-28 differ from the SR-40-22?

The SR-24-28 offers 28-inch depth and 24U height, while the SR-40-22 provides 22-inch depth and 40U height. Choose the SR-24-28 when moderate equipment density and slightly deeper chassis are needed; choose the SR-40-22 when maximum vertical space in a shallower cavity is the priority.
