Middle Atlantic ERK-1828LRD 18SP 28in Equipment Rack

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND ERK-1828LRD is an 18-space, 28-inch depth open-frame equipment rack designed for mounting and organizing rack-mount components in structured wiring, AV, and low-voltage systems. The ERK-1828LRD ships as a rack-only unit without a rear door, giving installers direct rear access to cabling, patch panels, and mounted equipment. Its open-frame design supports efficient airflow and cable management in tight equipment spaces. This rack is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and structured cabling professionals.

The ERK-1828LRD is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, accessible rack enclosure is needed. Typical applications include home theater equipment rooms, IT closets, and rack systems housing amplifiers, network switches, patch panels, or other 19-inch rack-mount gear. The 18-space height accommodates a moderate density of rack-mount components, while the 28-inch depth supports standard and mid-depth chassis without the bulk of a full-depth enclosure. No rear door is included, keeping the footprint lean and rear access unrestricted.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators following applicable structured wiring and equipment mounting guidelines. Ensure the mounting surface or floor is level and capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and all installed equipment before securing. Power down all equipment before installing or reseating rack-mount components. Consult local codes and the manufacturer documentation for anchoring requirements in seismic zones or high-traffic environments.
