Middle Atlantic WRK Series 37RU Rack with Rear Door - 27.6in Depth, 24.5in Width - Black

The Middle Atlantic WRK Series 37RU Rack with Rear Door is purpose-built for demanding installations where equipment height, cable bundles, and cooling airflow must be considered together. Designed with a wider footprint than standard racks, the WRK enables clean, scalable layouts that accommodate thicker cable bundles and multi-bay configurations without compromising access or airflow. Built for reliability in professional environments, this rack combines generous interior space with a rear-door access design and the flexibility of open or removable side panels. Seismic certification adds an extra layer of safety for installations in spaces with movement, vibrations, or building code requirements. Whether you’re outfitting a data room, broadcast rack, or production environment, the WRK Series helps you organize equipment neatly while preserving airflow and cooling efficiency, promoting equipment longevity and performance.

• 37U (37 rack units) of mounting space paired with a wider footprint supports bulky cable runs and dense, multi-bay layouts, making it easier to consolidate equipment in a single rack frame.
• Generous 27.6-inch depth and 24.5-inch width provide ample clearance for deep servers, patch panels, power distribution, and expansive cable management solutions, while preserving space inside the rack for airflow channels.
• Rear door facilitates secure, clean cable entry and exit. It also hides messy cabling from view while enabling convenient access for servicing and upgrades; side panels can be opened, removed, or kept in place to suit the installation’s needs.
• Seismic certification supports safer operation in dynamic environments, helping protect critical equipment against leg movement, vibrations, and unexpected shifts that can occur in certain locations.
• Open or removable side panels give installers the flexibility to tailor the enclosure to the project—easy wiring access during initial build-outs and straightforward reconfiguration as equipment evolves, without sacrificing rack integrity.

• Rack height capacity: 37U (37 rack units) of vertical mounting space to accommodate a broad range of equipment, from switches and patch panels to servers and UPS devices.
• Depth: 27.6 inches, designed to clear deep equipment and large cable bundles while maintaining efficient airflow within the enclosure.
• Width: 24.5 inches, providing a stable footprint suitable for wide configurations and multiple devices side-by-side in a single frame.
• Finish and color: Black finish for a professional, low-profile appearance in rack rooms and studios, with durability suited to busy environments.
• Rear door: Included, enabling secure cable routing and a tidy installation presentation; supports efficient servicing without fully exposing interior components.
• Sides: Open or removable panels allow flexible configurations—useful for wiring access, ventilation, or rapid reconfiguration as needs change.
• Certifications: Seismic-certified to support safety and compliance in locations where rack stability is a priority.
• Applications: Ideal for multi-bay installations and environments where thicker cables, larger adapters, or denser equipment racks require a wider footprint and enhanced airflow.

How to install the WRK Series 37RU Rack with Rear Door

• Plan the installation: Assess the space for level mounting, adequate ventilation, cable routing paths, and access to rear connections. Confirm that the floor or mounting surface can support the weight of loaded equipment and that the chosen configuration allows for open or removable side panels as needed.
• Unpack and inspect: Remove packaging carefully, verify all components are present (rack frame, rear door assembly, side panels, and mounting hardware), and examine for any transit damage before beginning assembly.
• Position and secure: Move the rack into the installation location, align it with structural anchors or leveling feet, and secure it according to site requirements. Ensure the rack is level to prevent strain on rails and devices once mounted.
• Install rails and mount equipment: Attach vertical rails or other mounting hardware compatible with your devices. Begin with heavier equipment at the bottom to lower the center of gravity, and work upward. Leave proper clearance for airflow and cooling paths between devices, and use cable management features to minimize congestion.
• Route cables and close the enclosure: Run power, data, and signal cables through the rear access points and into cable management channels. Use labels, color-coding, and tie-downs to maintain order and maximize airflow. Install the rear door and, if required, attach removable side panels to match the project’s accessibility needs.
