Middle Atlantic WRK-44SA-32LRD – 44U 32"D Stand-Alone Rack, Less Rear Door

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-44SA-32LRD is a 44-space, 32-inch-deep stand-alone equipment rack built for commercial AV installation and rack integration work where rear access is handled by the room rather than a rear door. As part of the WRK-SA Series, this 24-1/4-inch-wide floor-standing rack ships without a rear door (LRD), making it the right choice for equipment rooms where the rack backs up to open service space or where integrators specify their own rear access hardware. With 44 rack units of capacity in a welded steel frame, it anchors head-end equipment for auditoriums, broadcast plants, and campus AV systems.

Product Description

The WRK-44SA-32LRD delivers 44 rack spaces (77 inches of usable mounting height) in a 32-inch-deep, single-bay stand-alone footprint, giving AV integrators room for amplifiers, DSP frames, video processors, power distribution, and patch infrastructure in one enclosure. The 32-inch interior depth accommodates deep-chassis equipment such as UPS units and video servers, with adjustable rear support rails that match varying equipment depths. Because this model omits the rear door, technicians servicing the rack from open rear clearance get unobstructed access to cabling and connections without removing or swinging a panel — a practical configuration for dedicated equipment rooms and rack rows. Welded steel construction keeps the frame rigid under full equipment loading, and the industry-standard 10-32 tapped rack rails accept the full range of EIA rack-mount hardware. An open bottom permits conduit and cable entry from below, simplifying structured cabling during commercial deployment. The stand-alone (SA) configuration is intended for installations where ganging multiple bays is not required, keeping the footprint compact at 24-1/4 inches wide. Middle Atlantic's WRK-compatible accessory ecosystem — blanking panels, lacing bars, rack shelves, fan tops, and PDU mounts — integrates directly with this enclosure, so a single rack elevation can be specified and built out from one manufacturer. The WRK-44SA-32LRD is stocked and supported by Creation Networks, an authorized Middle Atlantic dealer; browse the full line at our Middle Atlantic collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the LRD suffix mean on this rack?

LRD stands for Less Rear Door: the WRK-44SA-32LRD ships without a rear door. Specify this version when the rack backs up to open service space or when a rear door would obstruct rear access in your equipment room.

Is this rack compatible with standard rack-mount equipment?

Yes. The 10-32 tapped rails follow EIA rack standards, so amplifiers, switchers, servers, network switches, and power distribution from any manufacturer mount directly with standard rack screws.

Can the WRK-44SA-32LRD be ganged with other racks?

The SA designation indicates a stand-alone, single-bay configuration. For ganged multi-bay rows, Middle Atlantic offers the standard WRK Series; contact Creation Networks for help selecting the correct configuration for your rack room layout.

How does this rack handle cable entry during installation?

The open bottom allows conduit and cable entry from below, and the adjustable rear rails plus the doorless rear keep cabling accessible during AV integration and ongoing service.

Will Middle Atlantic accessories fit this rack?

Yes. WRK-compatible accessories — blanking panels, lacing bars, shelves, fan tops, drawers, and PDU mounts — integrate directly with the rail system, letting you complete the full rack elevation from one accessory ecosystem.

What warranty and support come with this rack?

The WRK-44SA-32LRD is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty. As an authorized dealer, Creation Networks provides pre-sale configuration help and post-sale support; contact our team for warranty terms and project assistance.
