Lowell SR-2018 Swing Gate Rack 20U 18 Inches Deep

Product Description

The LOWELL SR-2018 is a swing-gate rack designed for organized, accessible equipment mounting in professional audio, video, and data installations. Built to a 20U rack capacity with an 18-inch depth, this unit allows the entire rack frame to swing open on a gated hinge, giving technicians direct rear access to mounted gear without removing equipment or crawling behind a fixed cabinet. It is a rackmount accessory intended for installation by AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and systems contractors in both commercial and residential settings.

The SR-2018 suits installations where rear access is limited by wall placement or tight mechanical rooms. Its swing-gate design is well suited for wall-mount or recessed applications where pulling equipment forward or accessing the back of a fixed rack is impractical. The 20U capacity accommodates a range of signal processors, amplifiers, patch panels, and network equipment commonly found in structured wiring and distributed audio systems.

Key Features

• 20U rack capacity for mounting standard 19-inch rackmount equipment
• 18-inch depth accommodates a variety of shallow to mid-depth components
• Swing-gate hinge design allows full rear access without removing the rack from the wall
• OEM rack unit sold individually (quantity per unit: 1)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rackmount accessory compatible with standard 19-inch rackmount equipment up to 20U in height, suitable for wall-mount low-voltage and AV system installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or AV systems contractor. The rack should be mounted to structural wall framing or blocking capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and all installed equipment. Verify all power to mounted equipment is off before servicing or repositioning the swing gate. Follow applicable local building codes and the manufacturer data sheet for anchor hardware requirements and weight load ratings.
