Middle Atlantic WRK-44-27 – 44U 27in Deep Multibay WRK Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-44-27 is a 44-space, 27-inch deep, 24-1/4-inch wide WRK Series multibay rack engineered for ganged rack rows in commercial AV and IT equipment rooms. The multibay configuration joins side by side with additional WRK racks to form contiguous, uniform rack rows for operations centers, broadcast facilities, and campus head-ends. At 27 inches deep, it balances equipment accommodation with floor-space efficiency where full-depth servers are not required. Integrators specify this model when an installation calls for high rack-unit capacity in a moderate-depth footprint.

Product Description

The WRK-44-27 provides 44 rack spaces, or 77 inches of usable mounting height, at a 27-inch interior depth. That capacity suits AV processors, DSP frames, network switches, patch panels, 1U and 2U servers, and power distribution in a single bay. As a multibay model, it gangs directly with other WRK Series racks to build integrated rack rows with a consistent front line and shared sidewalls, reducing cost and floor space versus standalone enclosures. The 24-1/4-inch overall width of the WRK platform provides generous interior clearance for vertical cable management and airflow around installed equipment. Middle Atlantic's welded steel frame construction holds rail squareness under full loading, preventing the binding and misalignment that can occur with bolted knock-down designs. Standard 10-32 tapped rackrails on EIA-310 spacing accept the full range of AV and IT rack-mount hardware without cage nuts. Open top and bottom entries give installers unobstructed cable and conduit routing from above or below during installation. The rack accepts the complete Middle Atlantic WRK accessory line, including blanking panels, shelves, vertical PDU mounts, doors, and horizontal cable managers, so each bay can be tailored to its equipment load. This is the standard WRK configuration; a less-rear-door (LRD) variant is offered separately for open rear-aisle layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the WRK-44-27 and the WRK-44SA-27?

The WRK-44-27 is the multibay model built for ganged side-by-side rack rows. The SA version is the stand-alone single-bay configuration. Choose multibay when building a row of two or more racks.

Is this rack compatible with standard 19-inch equipment?

Yes. The 10-32 tapped rackrails follow EIA-310 standard spacing, so any standard 19-inch AV or IT rack-mount equipment installs directly.

How many WRK racks can be ganged together?

Rack rows are limited only by room layout. Creation Networks can help plan multi-bay elevations and accessory requirements for your space.

Will full-depth servers fit in 27 inches?

The 27-inch depth is sized for AV processors, switches, patch panels, and short-chassis servers. For deeper enterprise servers, consider the 32-inch deep WRK models.

Can I add doors and side panels?

Yes. Middle Atlantic offers front doors, rear door options, and SPN series side panels for the WRK line, all available through Creation Networks.

Does Middle Atlantic warranty this rack?

Middle Atlantic enclosures carry the manufacturer's warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current terms and registration details.

Can Creation Networks assist with multi-rack project design?

Yes. Our commercial AV team supports integrators and facility managers with rack elevations, accessory selection, and volume project pricing.
