Middle Atlantic SR-40-28 – SR Pivoting Wall Rack 40RU 28"D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SR-40-28 is a 40-space, 28"-deep pivoting wall rack from the SR Series, built for installations where floor space is unavailable and equipment must be wall-mounted. The swing-out mechanism pivots the loaded rack away from the wall for full rear access, eliminating the clearance space normally required behind a rack. It is a strong fit for IDF closets, corridor equipment rooms, and AV installations with constrained floor plans.

Product Description

The SR-40-28 provides 40 rack spaces — 70 inches of usable mounting height — in a wall-mount swing-out enclosure with a 28" interior equipment depth. The pivot mechanism rotates the entire rack outward from the wall, giving technicians complete access to rear connections, cabling, and patch panels without any rear clearance behind the installation. That capability matters most in tight IDF closets, hallway equipment locations, and wall-mount AV rooms where space behind the rack is zero or minimal.

Welded steel frame construction maintains structural integrity under full equipment loading, and the swing mechanism is engineered to operate smoothly across the service life of the installation. Standard 10-32 tapped rails follow the EIA-310 standard, so network switches, patch panels, AV processors, smaller UPS units, and 1U servers mount directly with universal rack hardware. The 28" interior depth comfortably houses the mid-depth equipment typical of distributed AV and network infrastructure.

Wall-mount anchoring points are designed for solid masonry or stud-backed drywall installations, and the rack accepts standard Middle Atlantic SR Series accessories, including front doors and internal vertical cable management. For AV integration projects that standardize on Middle Atlantic infrastructure, browse our Middle Atlantic collection or contact Creation Networks for wall rack selection and commercial deployment guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wall construction does the SR-40-28 require?

The rack requires secure mounting to solid masonry or stud-backed drywall rated for the load. For high equipment loading or unusual wall construction, consult a structural engineer before installation.

How much front clearance does the swing-out need?

Plan for clearance in front of the rack equal to the rack depth plus its swing radius so the enclosure can pivot fully open. Contact Creation Networks for specific clearance dimensions for your room layout.

Why choose a pivoting wall rack over a fixed wall cabinet?

A pivoting rack provides full rear access to equipment and cabling without removing gear or requiring space behind the rack, which shortens service calls in closets with zero rear clearance.

Will standard 19" rack equipment fit?

Yes. The 10-32 tapped rails follow the EIA-310 standard, so standard rack-mount network and AV hardware installs directly.

Is this rack suitable for heavy servers?

The SR-40-28 supports equipment within its rated wall-mount load capacity. Verify the combined weight of your equipment configuration with Creation Networks before specifying.

What warranty applies to this rack?

The SR-40-28 is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty. Contact Creation Networks for the warranty terms applicable to this model.

Does Creation Networks help with AV integration planning?

Yes. Our team assists integrators, IT staff, and facilities teams with rack selection, load verification, and equipment layout for commercial deployments.
