Middle Atlantic WRK-24SA-27LRD – 24SP 27D Single-Bay Wiring Rack LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-24SA-27LRD is a 24-space, 27-inch-deep single-bay wiring rack with a lever-release door, designed for standalone AV and IT equipment room deployments where only one rack enclosure is needed. The SA (single-bay) designation distinguishes it from the multibay WRK models: this unit is engineered as a self-contained enclosure rather than a gangable bay. The lever-release door provides tool-free front access without hinge swing into adjacent equipment or workspace. It is appropriate for smaller AV head-ends, dedicated IT closets, and single-rack deployments in corporate or education environments.

Product Description

The WRK-24SA-27LRD delivers the core WRK platform in a single-bay configuration, making it the right choice when the installation calls for exactly one rack rather than a gangable row. The 24U interior accommodates a full complement of AV signal distribution gear, patch panels, and networking equipment in a 27-inch depth that fits standard rackmount hardware without excess floor space consumption. The lever-release door (LRD) allows technicians to remove the front panel without tools and without swinging a hinged door into adjacent workspace, a practical consideration in tight equipment rooms or server closets where space is at a premium. Unlike the multibay WRK models, the SA variant includes the structural elements needed to stand alone without being bolted to adjacent bays, giving it a finished appearance as a standalone enclosure. Internal cable management provisions support organized horizontal and vertical cable routing across the 24 rack spaces. EIA-310 rack spacing ensures compatibility with standard rackmount equipment. The WRK series' structural integrity and cable management design make it a reliable foundation for AV and IT infrastructure in education, corporate, and healthcare environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SA mean on Middle Atlantic WRK racks?

SA stands for Single-Bay. It designates a standalone enclosure that does not require adjacent bays for structural integrity, unlike the multibay WRK models which are designed to be ganged.

Can the WRK-24SA-27LRD be ganged with other WRK units later?

The SA model is a self-contained enclosure and is not engineered for ganging. If you anticipate needing to expand to a multi-bay row, the standard multibay WRK-24-27LRD is the appropriate model.

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

The WRK-24SA-27LRD is a single-bay standalone enclosure. The WRK-24-27LRD is a multibay unit designed to be bolted side-by-side with other WRK bays. Both have the lever-release door and 27-inch depth.
