Middle Atlantic WR-44-42 – 44SP 42"D Rollout Rotating Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WR-44-42 is a 44-space, 42-inch-deep rollout rotating rack mounted on casters, designed for cable-heavy deployments requiring 360-degree access to all sides of the rack without disconnecting equipment or cables. It is used by AV integrators and IT system designers in broadcast facilities, equipment rooms, and system integration shops where rear access is a recurring operational requirement. Common search terms include rollout rotating equipment rack, 44U rack on casters with 360 access, and Middle Atlantic rotating AV rack for cable management.

Product Description

The WR-44-42 provides 44 rack spaces on a rolling rack frame with 42 inches of mounting depth and a full-rotation caster base that enables the rack to be repositioned and rotated without lifting. This is a practical solution for dense cable installations where pulling the rack away from a wall for rear access is a regular requirement — common in system integration environments, broadcast equipment rooms, and facility AV closets with complex cable runs. The 42-inch depth accommodates the full range of AV and IT equipment including deep audio processors, amplifiers, patch bays, and network switches. Casters allow the rack to roll freely on smooth or hard flooring for repositioning, and lockable wheels secure the rack in place during normal operation. The rotating base allows the integrator to spin the rack for access to rear cable panels without fully relocating the unit in a constrained room. The frame is constructed from heavy-gauge steel and accommodates standard EIA 19-inch rack-mount equipment. Middle Atlantic cable management accessories and blanking panels are compatible with the WR series frame. Available at creationnetworks.net for project pricing and purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 360-degree rotation feature mean on the WR-44-42?

The rack is mounted on a rotating caster base that allows the entire rack frame to spin in place. This enables access to the rear of the rack for cabling, patching, or equipment service without physically moving the rack away from a wall or adjacent furniture.

Can the WR-44-42 be used in a permanent installation?

Yes. The lockable casters secure the rack in position during permanent installations, preventing movement during normal operation. The rolling capability remains available for maintenance and reconfiguration as needed.

What is the maximum equipment depth supported by the WR-44-42?

The WR-44-42 provides 42 inches of mounting depth, sufficient for the majority of deep AV and IT equipment. Always verify specific equipment chassis depth against available rack clearance before installation.

Is the WR-44-42 suitable for use in a touring or temporary event environment?

The caster base provides mobility for repositioning, but the WR-44-42 is primarily designed for permanent or semi-permanent installations. For road case and touring requirements, a purpose-built road rack is recommended.

What Middle Atlantic accessories are compatible with the WR-44-42?

WR series cable management panels, blanking panels, and horizontal lacing bars are compatible. PDU mounting provisions within the WR frame should be verified at time of accessory selection.
