Middle Atlantic SR-40-22 40SP/22D SWINGING WALLRK

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SR-40-22 is a 40-space swing-arm wall-mount rack designed for wiring closets, telecom rooms, and AV equipment rooms where floor space is limited. With a 22-inch depth and piano hinge swing mechanism, this shallow-depth wall rack provides full rear cable access without permanently occupying floor space. It targets AV integrators and IT managers needing a 40U wall rack with swing-out access in constrained installations. Long-tail applications include telecom room wall-mount rack solutions and shallow-depth 40U AV equipment enclosures.

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic SR-40-22 swing wall rack mounts directly to a wall stud or backboard and pivots on a heavy-duty piano hinge, swinging the entire rack body away from the wall to expose all rear cabling and terminations. The 40-space (40U) rail height accommodates a full complement of 1U and 2U patch panels, switches, amplifiers, and signal processors in a single enclosure. At 22 inches deep, the SR-40-22 fits into shallow wall cavities and low-clearance mechanical spaces that cannot accommodate standard-depth free-standing or fixed-wall racks. The swing-out design eliminates the need to reach over or around the rack during initial installation and subsequent maintenance, reducing labor time on every service visit. Rack rails are tapped at 10-32 for compatibility with standard rack hardware across IT and AV equipment lines. The welded-steel frame and powder-coat finish meet commercial-grade durability requirements for long-term installation in facilities, educational institutions, government buildings, and corporate offices. Mounting hardware and cable management accessories from the Middle Atlantic ecosystem integrate directly with the SR-40-22 rail pattern. The unit ships ready to mount and accepts standard rack-mount equipment without modification or adapter plates. For integrators managing multiple rack installations across a building, the consistent 40U form factor simplifies equipment scheduling and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wall surface is required to mount the SR-40-22?

The SR-40-22 should be mounted to wall studs or a solid backboard rated to support the combined weight of the rack and all installed equipment. Middle Atlantic provides mounting templates and hardware guidance for standard stud configurations.

How far does the rack swing out from the wall?

The piano hinge allows the rack to swing fully perpendicular to the wall, providing clear access to all rear panels, cable entries, and termination points without obstructions.

Is the SR-40-22 compatible with standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment?

Yes. The SR-40-22 uses standard 19-inch EIA rack rails tapped at 10-32, making it compatible with virtually all commercial AV and IT rack-mount equipment.

Can cable management accessories be added to the SR-40-22?

Yes. Middle Atlantic cable management panels, horizontal managers, and shelves that fit the standard 10-32 rail pattern are compatible with the SR-40-22.

Is 22 inches deep enough for most AV and networking equipment?

For patch panels, network switches, amplifiers, and signal processors typically deployed in wiring closets and telecom rooms, 22 inches accommodates the majority of 1U and 2U equipment. Deep servers or large power amplifiers may require a different depth configuration.

Where can I purchase the Middle Atlantic SR-40-22?

The SR-40-22 is available through Creation Networks at https://creationnetworks.net, an authorized Middle Atlantic distributor serving AV integrators and IT professionals.

Does the swing mechanism lock in the open and closed positions?
