Middle Atlantic Riser Base, 1 Bay, 27"D, BGR Racks

The Middle Atlantic Riser Base for 1 Bay BGR Racks is a purpose-built, timesaving solution designed to streamline rough-in rack installations in professional AV, data, and broadcast environments. This 2-1/2" high base provides a stable, level foundation that aligns perfectly with standard rack footprints, ensuring a clean, professional setup from the very first stage of deployment. By allowing cables to pass underneath the rack, it keeps messy cable runs out of sight and out of the way, reducing on-site handling and rework while promoting better airflow and easier future service. Constructed for durability in demanding environments, the riser base combines solid welded construction with a rugged black powder coat finish that resists wear, scuffs, and corrosion, maintaining a sharp appearance even in high-traffic equipment rooms. Its 27" depth matches typical equipment configurations, providing ample space for cabling, management accessories, and cable organizers without compromising clearance for front-facing components. The result is a practical, efficient foundation that accelerates rough-in workflows, minimizes installation time, and helps technicians focus on precise finishing, cable management, and clean, scalable rack layouts. Whether you’re wiring a new AV rack, upgrading an existing infrastructure, or staging components for a professional installation, this riser base delivers dependable support and a streamlined path to a polished final install.

• 2-1/2" high base closely matches standard rack heights and footprints, creating a uniform, professional alignment that simplifies mounting and future adjustments while enabling unobstructed access to cable runs beneath the rack.
• 27" depth accommodates a wide range of equipment configurations, providing generous room for cabling, power distribution, patch panels, and cable management accessories without crowding components.
• Heavy-duty welded construction delivers rugged strength and lasting stability in busy environments such as live event spaces, recording studios, data centers, and install venues where racks endure frequent access and handling.
• Black powder coat finish offers durable corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance that blends with other Middle Atlantic components and rack systems, preserving aesthetics over time.
• Timesaving rough-in support enables quick, efficient rough-in installations by providing a dedicated path for cables beneath the rack, reducing field labor and facilitating clean, organized cabling for final assembly.
