Middle Atlantic Legrand BRK16 16U Open Frame Rack 18in Black

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND BRK16 is a 16-space open-frame equipment rack designed for mounting and organizing rack-mount audio, video, and data equipment in professional installations. Built in a knock-down (KD) configuration, it ships flat for easy transport and assembles on site without specialized tools. The black laminate finish provides a clean appearance suitable for front-of-house, back-of-house, and equipment room installs. With 18 inches of usable depth, it accommodates a wide range of standard rack-mount gear. AV integrators, IT technicians, and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that work with this rack.

The BRK16 is suited for residential and light commercial AV system builds, home theater equipment rooms, small server or network closets, and broadcast or production environments where a freestanding open-frame rack is preferred over an enclosed cabinet. Its 16-space capacity makes it a compact but functional choice for modest equipment loads. The knock-down design simplifies shipping and on-site staging, particularly useful when access to the installation space is limited.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage AV integrators and IT technicians typically install open-frame racks. Assemble the knock-down frame fully before mounting any equipment, and verify that the assembled rack is level and stable on the floor surface. Secure heavy equipment with proper rack screws and cage nuts; do not rely on friction fit alone. Follow local building and low-voltage installation codes when routing cables through or near the rack.
