Middle Atlantic WRK-40SA-27 – 40U 27in Deep Stand-Alone WRK Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-40SA-27 is a 40-space, 27-inch deep, 24-1/4-inch wide WRK-SA Series stand-alone rack for commercial AV and IT installations that call for a single self-contained enclosure. The stand-alone (SA) configuration is finished as an independent unit, making it the right choice for equipment closets, control rooms, and single-rack deployments that do not require a ganged row. With 40 rack spaces in a moderate-depth footprint, it consolidates a complete room or building AV system into one enclosure. It is a frequent specification for boardroom, conference room, and campus AV integration projects.

Product Description

The WRK-40SA-27 delivers 40 rack spaces, or 70 inches of usable mounting height, in a 27-inch deep single-bay enclosure. The 27-inch interior accommodates network switches, patch panels, AV processors, amplifiers, 1U and 2U servers, and UPS units at standard equipment depths, making the rack a practical fit where floor depth is constrained. The WRK platform's 24-1/4-inch overall width leaves working room beside the rackrails for vertical cable management, power distribution, and airflow. Middle Atlantic's welded steel frame maintains rail squareness under loaded conditions, so equipment slides in and out smoothly throughout the rack's service life. Standard 10-32 tapped front and rear rackrails conform to EIA-310 spacing, giving universal compatibility with rack-mount AV and IT hardware. The SA designation means the rack installs as a standalone enclosure without ganging hardware, simplifying installation in rooms where only one rack is needed. Open top and bottom entry points let structured cabling and power enter from either direction without modification. The full Middle Atlantic WRK accessory line integrates directly, including blanking panels, horizontal cable managers, pull-out shelves, doors, side panels, and power distribution mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the WRK-40SA-27 and the WRK-40-27?

The WRK-40SA-27 is the stand-alone single-bay configuration. The WRK-40-27 is the multibay version designed to gang into side-by-side rack rows. Choose SA when installing one rack independently.

Is this rack compatible with standard 19-inch equipment?

Yes. The 10-32 tapped rackrails follow EIA-310 standard spacing, so standard 19-inch AV and IT equipment mounts directly.

Will my amplifiers and network gear fit in 27 inches of depth?

The 27-inch interior handles amplifiers, AV processors, switches, patch panels, and short-chassis servers. For deeper equipment, consider the 32-inch deep WRK-SA models.

Can I add doors and side panels later?

Yes. Middle Atlantic offers doors and side panel options for the WRK-SA line, all available through Creation Networks.

How does cabling enter the rack?

Open top and bottom entries allow structured cabling, conduit, and power to enter from above or below without cutting or modification.

Does Middle Atlantic warranty this rack?

Middle Atlantic enclosures are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and details.

Can Creation Networks help me plan the rack build?

Yes. Our commercial AV team assists with rack elevations, accessory selection, power planning, and volume project pricing for integrators and facility teams.
