Middle Atlantic ERK-1825 Equipment Rack Cabinet 18U

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC ERK-1825 is a freestanding equipment rack cabinet designed to house and organize 19-inch rack-mount components in professional AV, IT, and low-voltage installations. Built as a standalone enclosure in the ERK series, this cabinet provides 18U of usable rack space with a 25-inch interior depth, giving installers sufficient clearance for standard rack-mount gear including amplifiers, patch panels, power distribution units, and signal processors. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians working in commercial or residential structured wiring applications will find this cabinet a reliable solution for organized equipment deployment.

The ERK-1825 is suited for rack installations in commercial AV systems, home theater equipment rooms, server closets, and low-voltage utility spaces. The 18U height and 25-inch depth make it appropriate for mid-size equipment deployments where a full-height rack is not needed. It is a standalone unit, meaning no additional rack frame or enclosure is required for mounting.

Ensure the cabinet is positioned on a level surface with adequate ventilation clearance for the installed equipment.
