Middle Atlantic RK4 4-space Rack Enclosure 16in Black

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic RK4 is a 4-space, knock-down rackmount enclosure finished in black laminate. It is designed to house and organize rack-mount equipment in structured wiring, AV, and low-voltage system installations. The knock-down construction allows the enclosure to ship flat and assemble on-site, reducing freight damage and simplifying transport to the job location. At 16 inches deep, it accommodates a range of shallow rack-mount devices including patch panels, small amplifiers, power strips, and signal processors. Low-voltage installers, AV integrators, and structured cabling technicians are the primary trades working with this type of enclosure.

The RK4 is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, wall-mount or free-standing rack solution is needed. Typical applications include home theater equipment racks, structured media closets, small server or network closets, and AV equipment bays. Its 4-space capacity makes it appropriate for smaller deployments where a full-height rack would be excessive. The black laminate finish blends into finished interior spaces without requiring additional cosmetic treatment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators following the manufacturer assembly instructions included with the knock-down hardware. Ensure all rack-mount equipment is properly supported and that the enclosure is secured to a structurally sound wall or surface before loading. Power down all equipment before installing or removing devices from the rack. Local building codes and BICSI or NFPA 70 (NEC) low-voltage guidelines should be observed for any wiring routed within the enclosure.
