Middle Atlantic WR Series 44RU Roll Out Rack - 32in Depth

The WR-44-32 from Middle Atlantic’s WR Series is engineered for professional AV, broadcast, and IT environments where rear access is essential—even when equipment bays sit tight against a wall or are installed back-to-back. This roll-out rack ships factory-assembled in its own host enclosure, so it’s ready to install with minimal on-site assembly. The frame pulls out, rotates for service access, and returns to its operational position with ease, helping technicians reach rear connections without disconnecting front-mounted equipment. Built to support dense equipment configurations and demanding workflows, the WR-44-32 blends robust construction with thoughtful design to streamline installation, maintenance, and upgrades in constrained spaces.

• Rear-access design for tight spaces: The WR-44-32 is purpose-built for installations where equipment bays touch a wall or sit back-to-back. Its pull-out, rotary frame provides full access to rear ports and connectors without requiring equipment removal from the front, reducing downtime during service and upgrades.
• 44RU capacity with standard 19" rails: This high-capacity rack accommodates a wide range of standard 19-inch equipment, from rack-mount servers and AV processors to power distribution and patch panels. With 44 rack units, you gain generous room for future expansion while maintaining clean, organized cable management.
• 32" depth for deep gear and clean cabling: A deeper form factor supports deep power supplies, line conditioners, and large modules, while providing ample space behind equipment for cabling, connectors, and ventilation. The extra depth also helps maintain separation between hot components and airflow paths for improved thermal performance.
• Pull-out, rotating rack frame for easy service: The innovative WR-44-32 frame slides smoothly out of its enclosure and rotates to give technicians direct access to rear connections. This mechanism minimizes the need to move or remove front-facing equipment, speeding maintenance and reducing risk of damage to cables and components.
• Factory-assembled host enclosure for fast deployment: The rack arrives pre-assembled inside its own enclosure, ensuring precise alignment and sturdy construction. This eliminates complex on-site assembly and helps installers achieve a clean, professional installation quickly.

How to Install Middle Atlantic WR Series 44RU Roll Out Rack - 32in Depth

• Plan the installation space, ensuring adequate clearance for the 32" depth and for the rotation of the roll-out frame. Confirm mounting surface strength and ventilation near the rack location.
• Unpack the WR-44-32 and inspect the factory-assembled host enclosure. Check for any shipping damage and verify that all required mounting hardware and accessories are present.
• Position the host enclosure against the wall or in the back-to-back configuration, and anchor according to local building codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Ensure level alignment to support smooth operation of the pull-out frame.
• With the enclosure secured, extend the rack frame from its housing until fully accessible. Rotate the frame to expose the rear connections and determine cable routing paths that minimize clutter and maximize airflow.
• Install your 19-inch equipment on the rails, securing each unit with appropriate rack screws or mounting hardware. Route power, data, and interconnect cables with careful management to prevent interference and to maintain clear access to rear ports.
• Test operation by retracting the frame, rotating it into service position, and re-extending it to verify smooth movement and proper seating. Power up connected equipment and confirm that rear connections function correctly and that there are no clearance or cable-management issues.
