Middle Atlantic WRK-40-32 – WRK Series Multibay Rack 40RU 32"D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-40-32 is a 40-space, 32"-deep multibay rack from the WRK Series, engineered for ganged rack-row installations in AV and IT equipment rooms. The multibay design allows multiple WRK racks to be joined side by side, creating continuous rack rows for broadcast facilities, equipment rooms, and enterprise infrastructure. With welded steel construction and a 24-1/4" frame width, this floor-standing rack supports the deep equipment commonly deployed in mixed AV/IT commercial installations.

Product Description

The WRK-40-32 provides 40 rack spaces — 70 inches of usable mounting height — at a 32" interior depth in a multibay configuration optimized for side-by-side ganging with other WRK Series racks. The 32" depth accommodates full-depth servers, network appliances, UPS units, and deep AV signal processors without depth extenders or custom mounting hardware. Middle Atlantic's welded steel WRK frame maintains squareness and rail alignment under full loading, which keeps slide-mounted equipment operating smoothly over the life of the installation.

Standard 10-32 tapped rails follow the EIA-310 standard, giving the rack universal compatibility with rack-mount AV and IT hardware. Adjustable rear support rails let integrators match varying equipment depths, while open top and bottom entries provide flexible routing paths for structured cabling and conduit. Internal vertical cable management channels keep cabling organized across the full 40-space height.

The multibay configuration is the preferred choice when multiple racks are deployed side by side in a single room: it reduces the gap between units and presents a unified appearance across the row, with the single-bay WRK-SA version reserved for standalone placements. The WRK-40-32 accepts the complete Middle Atlantic WRK accessory line, including doors, side panels, and caster bases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the WRK-40-32 and WRK-40SA-32?

The WRK-40-32 is the multibay version for ganged side-by-side rack rows. The WRK-40SA-32 is the single-bay standalone version with side panels for individual placement. Specify multibay when building multi-rack configurations.

How many WRK racks can be ganged together?

WRK Series multibay racks can be ganged in rows limited primarily by room layout and service access. Creation Networks can help plan rack-row configurations for your equipment room.

Will standard rack-mount equipment fit this rack?

Yes. The 10-32 tapped rails follow the EIA-310 standard, so any standard 19" rack-mount AV or IT hardware installs directly.

How is cabling managed in a 40-space rack?

Open top and bottom entries provide routing paths for structured cabling and conduit, and internal vertical channels keep cables organized across the full rack height.

What accessories are available?

The WRK-40-32 accepts the complete Middle Atlantic WRK accessory line, including front and rear doors, side panels, caster bases, and additional rackrail.

What warranty applies to this rack?

The WRK-40-32 is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty. Contact Creation Networks for the warranty terms applicable to this model.

Does Creation Networks help with rack room design?

Yes. Our team supports AV integrators and facilities staff with rack selection, ganging layout, power, and thermal planning for commercial installations.
