Middle Atlantic WRK-24-27 – 24SP 27D Multibay Wiring Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-24-27 is a 24-space, 27-inch-deep multibay wiring rack built for AV and IT equipment rooms that require gangable, expandable rack infrastructure. Without a lever-release door, front access is direct and unobstructed, making it a practical choice where panel removal is infrequent. The 27-inch depth suits standard AV signal processing and networking gear without consuming excess floor space. Gangable construction allows the WRK-24-27 to be joined to adjacent WRK bays for a unified rack row.

Product Description

The WRK-24-27 follows the same platform architecture as other WRK wiring racks from Middle Atlantic, providing a 24U interior in a 27-inch depth configuration. This depth is well-suited for the majority of 1U and 2U rackmount AV gear, patch panels, and mid-range networking equipment that does not require the additional clearance of a 32-inch interior. Multibay (gangable) construction means the unit can be mechanically coupled with adjacent WRK enclosures to build a continuous rack row, maintaining structural rigidity and a consistent visual profile across the installation. The open-front design gives technicians direct access to front-panel controls, indicators, and connections without a door mechanism, which simplifies service in equipment rooms where rapid access is routine. Internal cable management accommodates horizontal and vertical routing, keeping signal and power wiring organized across the 24 rack spaces. EIA-310 rack spacing ensures full compatibility with standard rackmount equipment. The WRK series is Middle Atlantic's purpose-built wiring rack line, balancing structural integrity with practical cable management for AV and IT infrastructure. This model is suitable for head-end rooms, AV closets, and IT distribution spaces. Available through Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between WRK-24-27 and WRK-24-27LRD?

The WRK-24-27LRD adds a lever-release door (LRD) for tool-free front panel removal. The WRK-24-27 has an open front with no door, providing direct access at all times.

Can the WRK-24-27 be combined with other WRK units?

Yes. The multibay designation means it is engineered to bolt side-by-side with other WRK bays to form a rigid, continuous rack row.

Is 27 inches deep enough for networking switches?

Most 1U and 2U networking switches are 17 to 24 inches deep, so 27 inches provides adequate clearance for the equipment plus rear cable dressing.

Where can I purchase the WRK-24-27?
