Middle Atlantic DWR Series 10RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack - 22in Depth Wall Mounted Cabinet

Meet the Middle Atlantic DWR Series 10RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack, a purpose-built solution for studios, broadcast rooms, control suites, and IT closets where space is at a premium and accessibility is essential. This 22-inch deep wall-mounted cabinet delivers maximum mounting capacity on and off the rack rails, paired with a forward rack rail system and lever-lock access to streamline installations and simplify service. Designed to support a wide range of standard 19-inch equipment, the DWR Series combines solid durability with smart ergonomics, enabling rapid reconfiguration, clean cable management, and dependable performance in demanding environments. Whether you’re consolidating gear in a compact AV rack or extending usable rack space behind a desk or wall, this cabinet is engineered to keep equipment secure, organized, and easy to access.

• The DWR Series offers maximum mounting capacity with 10 rack units (RU) of space in a 22-inch-deep wall-mount cabinet, optimized for both on-rail and off-rail configurations to accommodate a variety of AV and IT gear. With a generous RU allocation, you can stack controllers, consolidators, patch panels, network gear, and power distribution units in a compact footprint while maintaining clear airflow and accessible cabling. This combination helps you maximize rack density without sacrificing serviceability or cable integrity.
• The pivoting wall-mounted design is engineered for effortless access and serviceability. The cabinet can swing away from the wall to provide clear front-and-back access to installed equipment, reducing the time required for maintenance, reconfiguration, and diagnostics. This feature is especially valuable in tight spaces where traditional fixed racks complicate wiring changes, and it supports safer gear handling by allowing you to pull devices toward you rather than contorting around a fixed enclosure.
• Forward rail compatibility paired with a lever-lock system delivers secure, tool-free operation that accelerates installations and upgrades. The forward rack rails enable precise alignment and fast mounting of equipment, while the lever-lock mechanism allows quick, confident locking and unlocking. This combination supports rapid deployment in busy work environments and minimizes downtime during gear swaps, updates, or reconfigurations.
• A suite of tool-free accessories complements the DWR Series, enabling fast customization and organization without tools. Expect convenient add-ons such as cable management features, mounting trays, blank panels, and other accessory options that snap into place, reducing install time and simplifying future modifications. Tool-free accessories help technicians keep cables tidy, reduce sign-offs, and install or rework gear in a fraction of the time compared with traditional hardware.
• Built for reliability in demanding spaces, the 22-inch depth provides substantial stability for heavier equipment and multi-unit stacks, while maintaining a compact footprint on the wall. The design supports long-term use in broadcast studios, control rooms, post-production suites, and other on-wall installations where durable construction, secure mounting, and clean aesthetics matter. With the DWR Series, you gain a robust, scalable mounting solution that grows with your requirements and remains serviceable as equipment evolves.

how to install Middle Atlantic DWR Series 10RU Pivoting Wall Mounted Rack

Installing the DWR Series wall-mounted rack is designed to be fast and straightforward, with a focus on minimizing downtime and simplifying service. Start by selecting a location that can safely bear the weight of the assembled cabinet and its equipment. Ensure the wall structure is capable of supporting the load, and identify stud positions or use appropriate wall anchors if anchors are required for your mounting hardware. Carefully align the pivoting cabinet so that its depth sits flush against the wall and the mounting holes line up with your chosen fasteners. Secure the cabinet to the wall using the supplied hardware or compatible mounting hardware appropriate for your wall type, and verify that the unit sits plumb and level before proceeding with gear installation. Once the cabinet is securely mounted, you can begin loading equipment from the bottom up or top down, depending on your workspace and the weight distribution you prefer.

With the cabinet mounted, attach any required rails, guides, or adapters that are part of the forward rail system. Align equipment mounting ears to the 19-inch rack rails, slide the gear into place, and engage the lever-lock mechanism to secure each unit. When adding tools, such as cable organizers or blank panels, take advantage of the tool-free design to snap components into position. Route power and data cables with care to maximize airflow, minimize interference, and simplify future reconfigurations. As you accumulate components, maintain a tidy cable management strategy—label cables, bundle similar signal paths, and use the included or compatible cable managers to prevent tangling and to keep access doors free from obstruction. Finally, test the pivot mechanism to ensure smooth movement and verify that the access doors lock securely, so maintenance tasks won’t compromise the configuration.

For ongoing maintenance, regularly inspect mounting hardware and rail connections to confirm they remain tight and secure. Periodically verify that the lever-locks still operate smoothly and that the pivot action remains unobstructed by cables or over-tightened panels. A well-maintained DWR Series cabinet will continue to provide reliable performance, enduring daily service cycles while preserving the clean aesthetic and organized layout that this rack design supports.
