Middle Atlantic ERK-4020 Equipment Rack 40U 20 Inch

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic Legrand ERK-4020 is a freestanding equipment rack designed to house and organize rack-mounted components in structured wiring, AV, and low-voltage electrical installations. With 40U of vertical rack space and a 20-inch depth, this rack accommodates a wide range of standard 19-inch rackmount equipment including patch panels, amplifiers, network switches, power strips, and control modules. Licensed electricians, low-voltage integrators, and AV installation technicians typically specify and install this unit in commercial, institutional, and residential applications where organized equipment mounting is required.

The ERK-4020 is suited for structured cabling rooms, equipment closets, server rooms, and AV equipment bays in both commercial and residential settings. The 40U height provides substantial mounting capacity for multi-component systems, while the 20-inch depth accommodates shallow rackmount devices without requiring a full-depth enclosure footprint. This rack is sold as a single unit per order.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with structured cabling and equipment room buildouts. Ensure the mounting surface or floor area is level and capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and all installed equipment. Power down any adjacent energized equipment before working in close proximity to live circuits. Local building codes and NEC requirements for equipment rooms should be reviewed prior to installation.
