Middle Atlantic CWR-18-22VD Vented Data Wall Cabinet

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND CWR-18-22VD is a vented data wall cabinet designed for rackmounting network, audio-visual, and low-voltage equipment in structured wiring installations. The vented enclosure promotes passive airflow around heat-generating equipment, reducing thermal buildup during continuous operation. At a 3-foot form factor, this cabinet is suited for wall-mounted deployments where floor space is limited but a full rack complement of gear must be housed and protected. Licensed low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and network installers are the primary trades working with this enclosure.

The CWR-18-22VD is used in commercial and residential structured wiring applications where wall-mounted rack enclosures are preferred over freestanding racks. Typical install scenarios include telecom rooms, server closets, retail back-of-house wiring centers, and dedicated AV equipment bays. The vented design makes it appropriate for environments where active cooling is not installed but adequate ambient airflow exists around the cabinet.

Key Features

• Vented enclosure design promotes passive airflow and reduces heat accumulation around installed equipment
• Wall-mount configuration conserves floor space in confined telecom and wiring closet environments
• 3-foot cabinet height accommodates a meaningful rack unit count without requiring a full floor-standing enclosure
• Rackmount accessory category designation confirms compatibility with standard 19-inch rack equipment form factors
• Sold as an individual unit (each) for single-cabinet installations or phased deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wall-mount enclosure for standard 19-inch rackmount equipment used in low-voltage structured wiring, networking, and AV installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of this wall cabinet should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician familiar with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring enclosures. Verify that the mounting wall surface and fasteners are rated to support the combined weight of the cabinet and all installed equipment before securing. De-energize all equipment and disconnect active network or power connections before servicing components inside the enclosure. Follow the manufacturer data sheet for specific mounting hole patterns and torque guidance from the hardware supplier.
