Engineered for demanding AV and IT deployments, the Middle Atlantic SR Series Rack SR-24-28 Swinging Wallrk delivers the ideal fusion of floor-standing reliability and wall-mounted accessibility. This tall, versatile enclosure is designed to pivot open 90 degrees on a floor base, delivering effortless access to rear equipment connections for installations where space, organization, and serviceability matter most. Whether you’re outfitting a broadcast studio, a corporate AV room, a control center, or a data-driven workspace, the SR-24-28 keeps gear protected, cables tidy, and maintenance fast. Built with heavier installations in mind, this model is purpose-built to accommodate on-wall cabling needs and to evolve with your growing infrastructure, making it a future-proof choice for evolving setups.

• Generous 24U capacity for standard 19-inch gear: The SR-24-28 provides ample space for multiple servers, AV matrices, patch bays, distribution gear, and accessory modules. Its 24U layout supports scalable configurations while preserving a clean, professional appearance and room for future expansion without sacrificing accessibility.
• Flexible 90-degree pivot for effortless serviceability: A purpose-built pivot enables the enclosure to swing away from the wall, granting unimpeded access to rear I/O, power strips, and cable terminations. This design minimizes downtime during installation, upgrades, and troubleshooting of routers, patch panels, servers, and AV processors.
• Rugged, long-lasting construction: Built with heavier-gauge steel and finished in a durable powder coat, the SR-24-28 resists warping, dings, and cosmetic wear in high-traffic environments. The robust shell and sturdy mounting rails provide dependable support for mounted equipment and accessories, helping protect your investments over the long term.
• Smart cable management for cleaner, cooler racks: Thoughtful cable pathways, defined channels, and flooring interfaces keep HDMI, SDI, Ethernet, power, and control cabling neatly organized. A tidy cabling system reduces signal interference, minimizes risk of disconnections, and improves airflow for cooler, more maintainable systems.
• On-wall cabling optimized with future-proof flexibility: This model is engineered for installations where on-wall cabling is involved. When your project demands heavier wiring or a more integrated solution, you can specify an SR Series enclosure designed to accommodate on-wall cabling needs, ensuring your workspace stays adaptable as gear evolves.

How to install Middle Atlantic SR Series Rack 24 28 24Sp 28D Swinging Wallrk

• Step 1 — Plan and verify mounting location: Choose a wall with solid framing capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and mounted equipment. Confirm clearances for the 90-degree swing and ensure the floor base has a stable, level surface for safe operation.
• Step 2 — Prepare the wall and floor base: Locate wall studs and mark mounting points. Install the floor base where the pivot will reside, ensuring secure anchoring to the floor plane as required by your installation standards and local codes.
• Step 3 — Install mounting rails and framework: Attach the internal 19-inch mounting rails to suit your equipment layout. Align rails to be level and plumb to maintain proper gear mounting and electrical clearance, then secure to the wall structure to provide a solid chassis for 24U of equipment.
• Step 4 — Mount equipment and route cabling: Within the 24U space, install servers, patch panels, AV processors, and other gear. Begin route planning for HDMI, SDI, Ethernet, power, and control cables, using defined channels to minimize clutter and interference.
• Step 5 — Connect power and data, then organize: Connect power distribution, network lines, and any control cabling. Use cable management features to guide cables along designated paths, ensuring tidy runs and easy future reconfigurations.
• Step 6 — Finalize the swing and test: Carefully swing the enclosure 90 degrees away from the wall to confirm full range of motion without binding. Recheck clearances around doors, vents, and cables. Power up equipment and verify that all connections are stable and accessible for ongoing maintenance.
• Step 7 — Routine maintenance and accessibility checks: Periodically inspect the pivot mechanism, rails, and fasteners. Keep the surface clean to preserve the fingerprint-resistant finish and ensure cables remain organized as equipment changes.
