Middle Atlantic BRK16-28 16SP 28in Deep Rack

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND BRK16-28 is a 16-space open rack enclosure designed for structured mounting of AV, network, and low-voltage equipment. Built to a 28-inch depth, it accommodates deeper components such as amplifiers, network switches, and patch panels while keeping equipment organized and accessible. This type of rack is commonly installed by low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and IT infrastructure professionals in both commercial and residential applications. The 16-space capacity suits mid-sized equipment deployments where a full 24- or 42-space rack would be unnecessary.

This rack enclosure is suited for server closets, equipment rooms, home theater installations, and structured wiring bays. The 28-inch depth accommodates standard rack-mount devices that require additional clearance behind the front rails. Installations in commercial spaces typically follow TIA-942 or BICSI TDMM guidelines for rack placement and cable management. Trade installers use this unit when a compact but full-depth rack solution is required in a limited footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV or IT integrator. De-energize all equipment before mounting or servicing devices within the rack. Secure the rack to the floor or wall structure per local building codes and manufacturer guidance to prevent tipping. Follow TIA or BICSI best practices for cable management and equipment weight distribution.
