Middle Atlantic Rackrail, 12-24, 45 RU, R4 Series

The Middle Atlantic Rackrail set from the R4 Series is the backbone of professional rack installations, delivering dependable support for diverse equipment in AV, IT, and data-center environments. With a 45U rack height and precision-engineered 12-24 threaded mounting holes, these rails are built to withstand daily use, gear insertion, and cable movement while maintaining strict alignment and reliability. Designed to integrate seamlessly with R412 racks, this pair of rackrails ensures a secure, professional installation that stays true under load and over time.

Engineered for durability and ease of installation, these rails are crafted from heavy-gauge steel and finished in a durable black coating that stands up to busy, high-traffic settings. The rails are sold in pairs, providing balanced support on both sides of your enclosure for symmetrical mounting and even weight distribution. Whether you’re mounting switches, patch panels, power strips, or chassis-mounted equipment, these rails hold gear firmly in place, helping to optimize airflow, cable management, and overall rack organization.

• Durable heavy-gauge steel construction delivers long-lasting rigidity and resilience in demanding rack environments, with precision machining that minimizes play and ensures reliable screw engagement on both rails for secure equipment mounting.
• The 12-24 threaded rack holes are precisely machined to support a wide range of equipment and accessories, providing secure attachment points and dependable performance across installations. This standard threading is a hallmark of professional-grade rack systems, simplifying compatibility with a broad ecosystem of hardware.
• 45U rack height offers generous mounting length for multiple devices, dense configurations, and future expansion. The extended length helps maximize usable space inside compatible enclosures while leaving room for cooling airflow and clean cable routing.
• Sold in pairs, this rackrail ensures balanced, symmetrical support on both sides of the enclosure. Paired rails promote even load distribution, reduce lateral movement, and contribute to a tidier, more professional setup that’s easier to service over time.
• Black, durable finish provides a professional appearance and resistance to wear in high-usage environments. The coating helps protect against corrosion and scratches, maintaining a clean look in client-facing installations and critical network closets alike.
